With an oceanside Mediterranean climate similar to Barcelona and Lisbon, Ventura is paradise for those who spend time outdoors. The cost of living is lower than most of Southern California and comparable to Dallas or Minneapolis. Plus, the benefits of coastal Southern California living include being situated within one hour of the world-class culture and events in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Several of the best wineries in the world are less than an hour away and world-class shopping can be found even closer. Access to the world via LAX is less than one hour away, while Santa Barbara airport can be reached in 30 minutes.

Though situated close to Los Angeles, Ventura does not have traffic or other big-city challenges. The Ventura lifestyle is easy-going with an emphasis on outdoor activities including surfing, spectacular road and mountain biking trails, local and grand hiking trails, top-rated skiing, golf, and dozens of others.
