Oxnard residents enjoy a spirit of community pride with an unsurpassed quality of life enhanced by the charm of this coastal community, the natural environment and solitude of the nearby Los Padres National Forest, and the cultural and educational amenities of a diverse and vibrant urban setting. Local assets include acres of new housing among tree-lined streets, parks and beaches, two thriving military bases, a full-service deep-water port, master planned industrial parks, prime commercial and retail sites, a regional medical center and hospital, and a flourishing public regional university, California State University Channel Islands. In addition, there are golf courses, marinas, and wonderfully landscaped streets. There is a small-town atmosphere in this seaside city where fields of strawberries flourish along many roads, and the Mediterranean climate supports year-round activities ranging from walking on the beach, a concert in the park or sailing to the Channel Islands. It is an ideal coastal community and an excellent place to raise a family that offers oceanfront recreation and outdoor adventures, award winning festivals and friendly, safe neighborhoods.
