Silverstrand Beach Homes for Sale in Oxnard

Silver Strand at a glance

• County land, Oxnard address: Homes for sale in Silver Strand, Oxnard, also spelled Silverstrand, carry 93035 addresses, but the County’s Coastal Area Plan puts the neighborhood, including Hollywood-by-the-Sea, in unincorporated Ventura County. Zoning and permits run through the County, not the City.
• Small lots, narrow streets: Most parcels are zoned R-B-H (Residential Beach Harbor): at least 1,750 square feet of lot per single-family home and 3,000 per duplex. The County calls the streets narrow, with very limited public parking, so count garage and driveway spaces.
• A mile of County beach: Silver Strand Beach runs about one mile along the harbor’s east side, with north-end restrooms, summer lifeguards and a free lot off San Nicholas Road, open sunrise to sunset. Leashed dogs are allowed before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Kiddie Beach, inside the harbor entrance, is the harbor’s only swimming area.
• District utilities: The Channel Islands Beach Community Services District, not the City, bills for water, sewer and trash; ask for recent bills.

Flood, tsunami and coastal hazard rules

Flood zones change within a few blocks: spot checks of FEMA’s map put the beach sand in Zone VE, points near South Victoria Avenue in Zone AE and most interior street points in shaded Zone X, so check the exact parcel. The County’s coastal hazards update, certified by the Coastal Commission in August 2026, calls for a site-specific hazards analysis before new homes, or remodels replacing half or more of a structure, in mapped hazard areas. County modeling shows tidal flooding near Hobie and Kiddie Beaches with 16 inches of sea level rise. The district’s tsunami briefing cites low ground, narrow access and reliance on Naval Base Ventura County, whose gates are part of the evacuation routes.

Silver Strand questions, answered

Can I rent a Silver Strand home nightly?

Only with a County permit, required for any stay under 30 days. Permits go only to owners, last one year at most and end automatically at sale, so a seller’s permit never transfers. Each owner may hold one, only one unit per parcel qualifies, and an LLC or corporation qualifies only if every member is a natural person.

Will my lender require flood insurance?

In a high-risk zone such as AE or VE, FEMA says a federally backed mortgage requires it (as of 2026). Get an elevation certificate and quote before removing contingencies.

How does it differ from Hollywood Beach?
