Ojai Valley Real Estate in California’s Gold Coast Region

Ojai, California is approximately one and half-hours north of Los Angeles, twenty minutes inland from Ventura and forty minutes south of Santa Barbara. It is by far the smallest city in Ventura County, yet it serves as a hub for the larger unincorporated areas in the Ojai Valley and as a gateway to the Los Padres National Forest. The city is committed to protecting and preserving Ojai's unique small town character and village atmosphere, strictly limiting commercial and residential new ojai real estate development, encouraging appropriate redevelopment of older areas, creating live / work opportunities consistent with a village orientation.

                  There are great public schools and some of the finest private schools in the U.S. located in the Ojai Valley. Graduates from the area's high schools often move on to top tier colleges and universities. There are also UC schools located nearby as well as a division of Brooks Institute, School of Photography.

                 Ojai's main industry is tourism. Visitors are drawn here for many reasons. Ojai's mystical and sophisticated charm blends with old California landscapes that are reminiscent of Tuscany. Rich textures from the orange groves to the hillside avocado groves and grape vineyards change into deep velvety-soft hues seen from the many trails and vistas around the valley as the sun descends. In the wintertime, Ojai is well known for it Pink Moment at dusk when the sky lights up the ridges for a brief time with brilliant pinks and reds. 

                 Talk to anybody who has been to Ojai for a visit or has lived here and they will most likely respond with a smile, an admiration and a yearning for this rare part of the world, this gem we call Ojai.
