On The 8-0-FIVE Blog, I scour every nook and cranny of Zillow, Redfin, and even the mysterious depths of the MLS to unearth the all the best homes for sale in Ventura County.
Address: 171 Mountain View Street
Region: Oak View
Why Top 5: If you’re willing to take on the risk of fire, there are some incredible deals to be found in the Ojai area. With insurance costs soaring, the key is to offset those higher monthly payments by purchasing at a lower price point. This particular property is especially appealing because the detached studio provides opportunity for an additional income stream, helping reduce your monthly costs even further.
Address: 395 South Santa Cruz St
Region: Midtown Ventura
Why Top 5: This quintessential Spanish bungalow is full of character with modern updates in all the right places. The layout is cozy and inviting, with natural light pouring in. The backyard? Ideal for laid-back evenings or weekend hangs after surfing C Street. The oversized detached garage has the potential to be converted into an ADU for additional income. Plus, you’re a bike ride away from Ventura’s beaches, downtown, and all the local hotspots.
Address: 132 Santa Rosa Ave
Region: Silverstrand Beach
Why Top 5: Welcome to the Darling of Silverstrand—a real-life Barbie beach house just steps from the beach! Recently reimagined by Claire Kramer Interior Design, this single-story gem blends it’s original 1940’s charm with modern luxury. Think DuChateau wide-plank floors, custom cabinetry, and imported English wallpaper. This storybook home is pure California beach magic!
Address: 160 East Fiesta Green
Region: Port Hueneme
Why Top 5: Roll me up and send me straight to Hueneme Bay when I turn 55! I will never not recommend this community for anyone searching for the perfect retirement spot. There’s golf, a pool, a vibrant social scene, and you’re so close to the beach. My favorite part of this floor plan? The large flex space in the back. It’s currently a laundry/hobby room, but it could easily be transformed into a home office, artist studio, or whatever your heart desires!

Why Top 5: I thought this home was a deal... and then I saw the pool! With four bedrooms and a prime location near parks, top-rated schools, and hiking trails, this home is perfect for anyone seeking value without compromise. But the true showstopper? The sparkling pool and entertainer’s backyard—complete with lush landscaping and plenty of space to lounge or host—offering the ultimate California lifestyle at an unbeatable price. Opportunities like this don’t come often. Ready to dive in?
