Camarillo vs Other Cities Near Base

Camarillo runs slightly below Ventura’s median and above Oxnard’s, but the bigger differentiator for most of my clients is schools and home age rather than price alone. For Point Mugu personnel specifically, Camarillo offers the best combination of short commute and strong schools of any city in this guide. For NBVC personnel, Camarillo’s longer commute usually means it’s a second look after Oxnard and Port Hueneme rather than a first choice, unless schools are the top priority.
