Camarillo Homes and Neighborhood Guide

Where Camarillo is

Camarillo sits at the eastern end of the Oxnard Plain, with the Camarillo Hills to the northwest, the Conejo Valley to the east and the western Santa Monica Mountains to the south. U.S. 101 runs through the city, and Newbury Park is up the Conejo Grade to the east. The city is named for brothers Juan Camarillo Jr. and Adolfo Camarillo, who owned Rancho Calleguas. California State University Channel Islands is on the former grounds of the Camarillo State Hospital.

Old Town

The original town site was laid out around 1910, centered on St. Mary Magdalen Church. Old Town is bisected by the Ventura Freeway.

Leisure Village

Leisure Village is Camarillo's best-known 55+ community. It opened in 1973, and its association describes more than 2,100 single-story homes on over 400 acres, with a guarded entry and a full recreation calendar. See 55+ Communities in Ventura County, G. Robert Arnold's LeisureVillage411.com guide, and the association at leisurevillage.org.

Camarillo Springs

Camarillo Springs is at the southeast edge of the city by the Camarillo Springs golf course and the Santa Monica Mountains. It includes The Springs, which its homeowners association describes as a gated senior development of 259 single-family homes. The May 2013 Springs Fire started in the Camarillo Springs area, so fire-zone and insurance checks matter. The Springs on our 55+ page

Spanish Hills

Spanish Hills is a hillside planned community above the Oxnard Plain, built in the 1990s around the private Spanish Hills Country Club and its 18-hole golf course. The Los Angeles Times described it in 2007 as 144 home sites of about an acre each plus 91 golf-villa townhomes. Club membership is arranged with the club; ask what the HOA covers and whether any section is gated for a specific home.

Mission Oaks

Mission Oaks is in east Camarillo and is home to Adolfo Camarillo High School.

Santa Rosa Valley and Somis

Two rural unincorporated communities sit just outside the city. Santa Rosa Valley (3,312 residents in 2020) lies north of Newbury Park between Thousand Oaks and Camarillo, with much of the area still agricultural. Somis (1,429 residents) is in the Las Posas Valley north of Camarillo, ZIP 93066.

Schools

Camarillo's public high schools, Adolfo Camarillo, Rio Mesa and Rancho Campana, are part of the Oxnard Union High School District. Most of the city's elementary and middle schools are in the Pleasant Valley School District. School assignment depends on the exact address; confirm with the district.
