City of Oxnard
Company Overview
Located on the beautiful Southern California coast, the City of Oxnard is the largest and most populous city in the County of Ventura with over 200,000 residents. Nestled about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 35 miles south of Santa Barbara, Oxnard prides itself on its rich diversity and culture. Although agriculture remains a major industry, Oxnard enjoys an expanding economy based on a healthy combination of agriculture, commercial and manufacturing development, tourism, and the U.S. Navy.
The population has grown significantly in the last fifty years, providing many challenges to local government and residents. Oxnard continually offers many opportunities for its enterprising and forward-thinking business community. As Oxnard has evolved through all these changes, it has worked hard to maintain a “business friendly atmosphere.” In the fall of 2012, The Collection at River Park, a high-end office and retail shopping center with a state-of the- art multiplex cinema, opened in the northern end of the City. While the City maintains steady growth with new development, it also promotes the preservation and economic health of its historic downtown. The long-awaited construction of the Oxnard Boulevard and Rice Avenue Interchanges at Highway 101 and Santa Clara River Bridge provides easier access to the City from all points. The City also operates more than 50 park facilities for its residents, as well as special-purpose facilities such as River Ridge Golf Course.
This city by the Pacific Ocean is an ideal place to raise a family. Oxnard residents enjoy a spirit of community pride. With its attractive residential areas located among tree-lined streets, parks and beaches, Oxnard provides a wide range of housing choices. Oxnard is an ideal location with white sandy beaches, oceanfront recreation and outdoor adventures, award winning festivals and friendly neighborhoods. Oxnard offers an exceptional quality of life. Today, the City of Oxnard could be characterized as a richly diverse community where family, education, tradition, and the many natural amenities are highly valued and celebrated.
Oxnard is a community where residents are both proud of their past and excited about their future. There is a small town atmosphere in this seaside city where fields of strawberries flourish along many roads, and the Mediterranean climate is unexcelled. It is an ideal coastal community.
