Ventura’s vibe brings easygoing coastal charm wrapped around historic flair and sunny streets. Renters can expect a mix of green havens like 800 acres of parks, beaches, community gardens, a golf course and the Ventura Aquatic Center maintained by the city’s Parks & Recreation team. Another gem—the Ventura Botanical Gardens—spans about 107 acres and showcases plants from around the globe on slopes behind City Hall. Downtown bursts with lively landmarks including Mission San Buenaventura from 1782, Plaza Park with its massive Moreton Bay fig planted in 1874, the elegant Ventura Theatre built in 1928, and the historic City Hall (originally courthouse) sitting atop a hill with sweeping views. Add in the iconic Ventura Pier, California’s oldest wooden pier (built in 1872), which now serves as a scenic walkway with restaurants and beach access .
