California State University Channel Islands

After decades of effort, local officials were finally successful in establishing a new State University in Ventura County.  Until 2002, the county was the most populous in the state without a University.  Now local students are able to obtain a Bachelors degree or pursue graduate studies without leaving the county and this beautiful campus is attracting students from all over.

This campus, opened in August 2002, encompasses 640 acres of land near the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, about 20 minutes north of Malibu off Highway 1.  The buildings on the main campus provide 1.2 million gross square feet of space for campus facilities.  Right now, the university needs only a portion of that space for classrooms, offices and laboratories.  Eventually, the university will expand into the remaining space; until then, the university is leasing some space to local businesses.

In terms of Real Estate opportunities and with an already under supplied rental market, this new facility marks a turning point in the economic future of western Ventura County.

The University has constructed about 900 housing units for faculty and staff, but pressure on housing in the surrounding communities is growing.  With Camarillo, to the immediate north, limited in growth potential, Oxnard & Port Hueneme, to the immediate west of the campus, should benefit most.

Established beach area condos in Port Hueneme have appreciated at an all time high in terms of sale prices and rental rates.  Southern Oxnard, a sometimes problematic area, has been under redevelopment for years, but now investment opportunities abound and this agent predicts a new era of upward, quality growth in this area.

Ventura County Community College District

The Ventura County Community College District is a partner in the 108-campus California Community College system. The District's three colleges, Oxnard, Ventura & Moorpark offer programs in general education for transfer to four-year universities, occupational and vocational fields, developmental programs, guidance assistance, community service and continuing education and provide opportunities to engage in co-curricular campus activities.

The City of Oxnard, the largest city in Ventura County is a good example of the California district system.  Districts within the state may or may not coincide with municipal borders.  Oxnard and Port Hueneme have three primary districts covering some schools in Camarillo and unincorporated areas of the County. Districts commonly overlap some neighborhoods, so it is important to check with the Districts directly.
