Tucked between Casitas Lake and the base of the Topatopa Mountains, Oak View offers a quieter, more laid-back alternative to nearby Ojai — without sacrificing access to everything the valley has to offer. The community has a distinct outdoor lifestyle, with Casitas Lake a few minutes away for boating and fishing, and Los Padres National Forest just beyond that for hiking and horseback riding.
Homes in Oak View range from classic ranch-style properties on larger lots to newer builds closer to Ventura Avenue, giving buyers a range of options at a lower price point than Ojai proper. The area draws families and retirees looking for space, privacy, and a strong sense of community, while staying close enough to Ojai's downtown shops, restaurants, and farmers market for regular visits.
With Ventura's beaches roughly 20 minutes south and Santa Barbara under an hour away, Oak View works well as both a full-time residence and a weekend retreat.
5,984 people live in Oak View, where the median age is 45.7 and the average individual income is $47,084. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
