Oxnard Homes and Neighborhood Guide

Where Oxnard is

Oxnard is about 60 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles and incorporated in 1903. The town grew up around Henry T. Oxnard's sugar beet factory in the late 1890s and is surrounded by farmland and the ocean. Amtrak and Metrolink both stop in Oxnard.

Channel Islands Harbor

Channel Islands Harbor, formed in 1960, is a small-craft harbor in Oxnard with more than 2,500 vessels, four yacht clubs and nine full-service marinas, plus restaurants and a ferry to Anacapa Island in Channel Islands National Park. Homes near the harbor include waterfront houses and condominiums.

Mandalay Bay

Mandalay Bay, connected to the north end of Channel Islands Harbor, is a residential waterfront development built beginning in 1972 with more than 700 boat-dock homes. For any waterfront home, confirm in writing what dock rights convey and the condition of the dock and seawall.

Oxnard Shores

Oxnard Shores is the beach neighborhood along Mandalay Beach Road, next to Mandalay State Beach, a 92-acre state park of dunes and wetlands set aside in 1985. Public streets and paths connect it south to Channel Islands Harbor.

Silver Strand and Hollywood Beach

Silver Strand, Hollywood Beach and Hollywood by the Sea are unincorporated beach neighborhoods with Oxnard addresses, mapped in the mid-1920s around what is now the Channel Islands Harbor entrance; Silver Strand lies between the harbor and the Port of Hueneme. The Census Bureau groups them as Channel Islands Beach, and the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District provides local utility services. Silver Strand is mostly post-World War II single-family homes, some multifamily homes and newer homes directly on the sand.

RiverPark

RiverPark is a master-planned community in northeast Oxnard (ZIP 93036), between the Santa Clara River and U.S. 101, built by several builders with townhomes and single-family homes. The Collection at RiverPark, an open-air shopping and dining center, is inside the community. Ask about HOA dues and any special-tax district for a specific home.

Henry T. Oxnard Historic District

The Henry T. Oxnard Historic District is a 70-acre neighborhood on F and G Streets between Palm and Fifth Streets, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with 142 houses built mostly between 1906 and 1925 in Craftsman and Revival styles.

Port Hueneme

Port Hueneme is a separate small beach city, ZIP 93041, surrounded by Oxnard and the ocean. The Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County are within its limits, and it has a mile-long south-facing beach with a fishing pier.

Schools

Oxnard is served by four elementary districts (Oxnard School District, Hueneme School District, Ocean View School District and Rio School District) and, for high school, the Oxnard Union High School District. School assignment depends on the exact address; confirm with the district.
