A California Splurge vs. Steal in The Hills of Ventura

Ventura is one of the few remaining pockets of the Southern California coast that is still somewhat affordable. Not for long, though. 

Home to plenty of families and young professionals, the beach town is steadily growing. The town boasts a generally laid-back vibe with lots of coffee shops, parks, and several good surf spots. Ventura is located about halfway between Santa Barbara and Malibu.

This week’s Splurge vs. Steal spotlights two homes in the hills inland from Ventura that offer stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands.
