The good and bad of living in Oxnard

I'm retired and Homes are going for about $617,800 on average. With a population of 201K, Oxnard is a mid-size city. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Would love some local perspective. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Came here for work and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The walkability is honestly hit or miss and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Feel free to reach out with questions..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
