Why are the prices even high!? Hardly anything happens here. Ignore this place, just skip straight to Santa Barbara.

Thank you.

Bakersfield by the Sea

I LIVED AT 1272 SAGAMORE LANE IN 1995 ..RENT WAS $850

TRY MYRTLE BEACH..SOUTH CAROLINA...OR COOS OREGON

When I was 17 my rent was 45 dollars a month on anacapa

I live in Ventura and I don't think you can afford to buy a home here!!🤣🤣🤪💪

It looks like a wonderful area, but it looks like earning a living would be difficult. Not much in available jobs.

I can tell you expensive " fires " winds "

I'm from Scotland but we've visited family in Ventura ever since I was born. Ventura will always have a special place in my heart. It was always so comforting driving in from LAX seeing Two Trees from miles away.

I was born and raised in Ventura, But sadly had to move away because everyone loved it so much that multi millionaires forced most locals 30years or younger be priced out.

Its not mother nature it's God! For real tho

Con living on the ave!!!. I need to move!!🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤣

didn`t get to see much in this video, your big head kept getting in the way!

It does vary from house to house but I've lived in several houses on the on the avenue

Some of the yards on the avenue are pretty huge.

That's why people can't get out of there fast enough....

What is considered the east end? What cities?

You're high dude

I love this place don't get me wrong! but its full of fakes of phonies.

What song is playing? :)

In n Out has a legendary status, made by people from Cali who transplanted to other states. I had heard about In n Out in college from a guy from Cali, I heard about it in the army from a guy from Cali, I heard about it from a co worker where I was working after the army, etc. Anyway, a few years back my job had me go to Cali for like 2 months to train on different systems. I had been to Cali before as a teenager with family on vacation, but fast food isn't exactly on this list of our family vacations. The FIRST thing I did after getting off the plane and getting a rental car, was put In n Out in google and hit nearest one. Got there, got a burger and fries.... I was HUGELY disappointed. The burger itself was "good" It didn't blow my socks off, but it was good, I liked it. However, fries are a big part of the experience, and the fries sucked, and when I say sucked, I mean sucked. Like 2/10. totally weak. Not much flavor, poor texture, they tased like McDonalds fries that had been dropped in water, then dried and reheated. I spoke to the hypers about this, and they said "You need to get them animal style" basically, you need to dump so much crap on them, it's not fries anymore. Cardboard will tase good if you dump enough bacon and cheese and salt and fat onto it. Fries are an art form, good fries are like a fine chocolate, they should be good just as they are, with some salt. Good fries shouldn't need to be "animal style" or doused in ketchup, secret sauce etc. Now, if In n Out had fries as good as McDonalds or Five Guys, then Cali residents might have some bragging rights. Ever heard "Never meet your hero's" That's how it was for me and In n Out. Five Guys and Wataburger are both better. Sorry, that is my In n Out rant. Lets say you set your food budget at a cap of $900 a month (Single, don't drink alcohol very often, maybe an occasional beer if its a good cheap one) think you could eat ok? Like Monday you get taco stand for lunch, some cheap Chinese place for dinner, Tuesday you get a sandwich for lunch but treat yourself to a steak for dinner, etc. Would 750-900 a month be reasonable? I'm also big on not paying for parking, I'd be looking for places I don't have to pay. Id park in some big lot and walk if its cool out.

First, I have to ask - Does KZbin pay youtubers to use that music in videos? It is SO overused, if I hear that damn tune anymore, I am going to gouge my eardrums out. I feel like 1/3 youtube videos on locations use that tune. My opinion on music is just that - an opinion but the same 20 second tune playing over and over while you are speaking is really irritating. Anyway, besides that, thanks for the video, there is some good informative stuff here. I am moving to Ventura for work, I am a single guy so I am going for an apartment for at least the first year while I get a lay of the land. Nobody has done a video going over the apartment complexes in Oxnard/Ventura. I get you make your living by selling houses, but it would be nice if someone did an apartments video, the pros and cons of each. I am leaning towards The Wagon Wheel or Tempo at the moment, looking for new construction within 25 (max 30) minutes of Point Mugu NAS.

Go outside and throw a shoe.

There are gang members btw 😂

Lame

Hate this place!

The homeless population is real, and so is the crime.

Hi Rally (I hope I spelled it correctly). I wish there was a way to DM you, but I am thinking about moving to Ventura next spring/summer. I have a potential job offer for next year, will be making pretty decent $$ CASH-OH-LH $$ and have never even been there. I have two friends that live there and they swear by it. I am originally centrail CA (wayyy to hot) and the other half of time from Long Beach. But, my friends swear by Ventura. What do you reccommend? I'll probably rent my first year then look to buy a home/condo if I enjoy it. Hope to hear from you!!!

It’s way too expensive to live there and too much homeless people.

The best thing about Ventura is the cool climate. Unfortunately, there are very few good restaurants. The only one I've ever really liked was Cafe Fiore, an Italian Restaurant in downtown. Also, many of the homes seem to be run down and have many cars parked in front of them. Lots of well kept homes too, of course. The Ventura Concert Theater is great. I saw a lot of concerts there in the early 80s when I was in high school, driving down 126 from Santa Clarita.

the best is Surfing

Too bad we didn't get to see more of Ventura and less of you 😅🤣✌️

Only a realtor would boast of nothing but positivity of the city they sell in, oh wait you jumped ship to San Diego now. Ventura, and generally the county as a whole is not what is was 20 years ago. I lived throughout Southern California for 40+ years with VC being my roots, and it is certainly not a city I would reccomend.

We’re moving from Ventura because of work. Only here about a year. It’s a real nice town, weather is awesome. People are nice, everything is walkable. I will miss it.

There are no pros to living in kalifornia!!

This town called Ventura is a little ran down piece of waste I certainly hate with a passion. The people are trash as well as the town is.

I knew it! You're selling real estate. The Good Venture name needs to be changed by the racist anti history City council. JTS headed a group to remove the cross. That was unsuccessful but did manage to rip down Father Serra who founded The Good Venture - San Buenaventura. AND KEEP YOUR DOGS ON LEASH if it's not an off leash park. Not all dogs appreciate being run up on by "friendly" dogs

Moved out years ago. The gangs began to move in and ruined it for families in the neighborhood. Some nice places to visit, but I would not live there again.

Big con, high real estate prices. Mobile home cost a 1/2 million bucks. Rents are super high! Property taxes are insane, average home tax for new purchases are over 7k a year. Welcome to LA light!!! The homeless are aggressive and all over downtown.

I live here and love it as well, but for the vacationer's, careful around the area of main st and rte 33, known as the river bed, it draws alot of homeless and most are meth heads who bum at Vons area.

Used to go to Ventura high school class of 1987.. have to do a lot of commuting in order to find work I now live in Klamath falls Oregon.. remember when the mall was one level also remember when before the mall was covered.. remember main street was an open street

I would like to see more of the town, building, parks , schools, shopping areas.

Awesome

You had me at Michelada

You forgot to mention a con of how fricking windy it is here at the time.

Super great video. Comprehensive and really well done. You instill confidence with your vast knowledge and professional demeanor. I wish you all the best in all you do in your career.

Great points made. However, parking is not free and it is directly tied to the costs of living we see on the rise. Parking is paid through mechanisms pre usage. Example is minimum parking requirements (1 spot per xSqFt of building) for new development. This code drives development standards and shapes the landscape. While Ventura has 'free' on and off street parking at the moment it would be wise to abolish the requirement in our downtowns and place car parks on the outskirts encouraging human powered modes of travel. Ventura is insanely bike-able and could only get better with this plan.

Really enjoying your videos. Very well done and real informative. But your content stopped a year ago. Are you still in Real Estate in Ventura? I hope all is going well for you man.
