Welcome to Ventura

A classic Southern California beach town, Ventura is 60 miles north of Los Angeles and 50 miles south of Santa Barbara. It boasts non-crowded beaches, popular surf spots, a thriving harbor, coastal bike paths, lush agricultural fields, and mild weather with summer highs of 75º F, and average winter lows of 45º F.

Lincoln Military Housing offers 904 homes within the communities of Point Mugu and Port Hueneme, serving the Naval Base Ventura County.

Ventura offers all of the amenities of a big city, yet with a relaxed, small town feel. A classic Main Street offers a mix of boutiques, cafes, antique shops, as well as a vibrant art district. One of the best-known attractions is the Channel Islands National Park. Only14 miles off the coast; it is an all-natural playground for those interested in whale watching, dolphins, and other sea life. Other area activities include camping, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and diving. Attractions feature Camino Real Park—an ideal spot to view yearly Monarch butterfly migration, Los Padres National Forest, Lake Casitas, and the kid-friendly Golf N’ Stuff. 

Historical highlights include the Mission San Buena Ventura, the Albinger Archaeological Museum, city walking tours, and the ever popular "ghost hunts." A short drive from Ventura, there’s the Fillmore & Western Railway in Fillmore and Santa Barbara with its rich history and missions.
