Life in Camarillo
2533 Antonio Dr sits in the heart of Ventura County's Pleasant Valley, minutes from the 101, the outlets, and the strawberry fields that made Camarillo famous.
The place
A city of about 69,000 between the coast and the mountains
Camarillo is a city of roughly 68,650 people in Ventura County, about 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles and sitting between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean along U.S. Highway 101. It is one of the county's safest and largest cities, with suburban neighborhoods, outlet shopping, and working farmland sharing the same pleasant valley.
For the buyer of 2533 Antonio Dr Unit 101, the practical geography is hard to beat: Ventura's beaches are about 20 minutes west, Santa Barbara about 45 minutes, and the 101 puts the rest of the Southland within reach. Schools, parks, the library, and medical offices are all close to the condo, and Old Town's shops and farmers market are a short drive.
