You're Sold on Channel Islands - But which Community is Right for You?
You've seen your neighbors and friends post pictures of their beach houses on Instagram. You've thought - especially during the raging heat of Santa Clarita summers - how nice it would be to have a nearby beach escape. When visiting Ventura County, you've thought, "It would be really nice to have a home here."
You're not alone! Every day, more Santa Clarita residents are making the jump to Ventura County with the purchase of a beach home for fun and investment.
But where to buy?
Channel Islands is made up of distinct communities, each with their own home-design styles, neighborhood cultures and amenities. Are you drawn to Mandalay Bay's right-on-the-channel homes with private boat docks and famous annual community events that have spanned decades? Or would you prefer to live in Silverstrand, right on the sand and with a glorious view of the Pacific ocean? Maybe you're drawn to the glamour of Hollywood Beach and it's renowned reputation for leisure activities?
There are eight unique communities in Channel Islands, with homes ranging in price dramatically from the mid 500s all the way to multi-million dollar estates. There are some commonalities, though. Each enjoys incredible Channel Islands weather - it's rarely too hot or too cold! All have near-immediate access to the water, making it one of the best places in the world for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, fishing and more. And you have to see a Channel Islands sunset to truly appreciate it - because it's like nothing else!
Working with the premier Channel Islands real estate experts will help you choose the property that meets your recreational needs, investment goals - and your budget.
