Tourist / retirement town 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2020) Good place to retire and visit, but living here is EXPENSIVE. Its a very peaceful town, so when something bad happens here it shocks the whole town. everyone here knows each other and are typically very outdoorsy. Trails that go off for miles start in the neighborhoods here, so t ...Read More hats kind of a trip. schools here are good and crime is low. Read Less
GOOD REASONS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 0.5 rating By k.k. ( Jul 10, 2016) If your retired and rich, you'll love the place ! And I mean 200k per year and up ! I am a landlord and my people pay average $1300 per month rent, plus expenses for a normal small family = bring home pay of roughly $30,000 per year !! So if you make $40,000 you can rent from me ...Read More ! Housing buy costs, only for the rich ! Cost of groceries 30 percent more than even Arizona, Gas + 30. POLICE ! If you like being told what to do, when to do it, and or why, you will like the Ojai Valley ! There are more rules and regulations in this area than one could imagine !! Nightlife, non-existent, thank the police.. Corruption !! At it's finest !! Government organizations water districts are about the most obvious of the corrupt. Sewer district, $700 per year per house, no matter the size of the family or the house.. Taxes, ha !! Build a house pay the local school district roughly $5,000 !! No matter if you have one child or 10 !! Pay, pay pay.......Yes it has great weather, hence as long as your rich, your good to go !! I myself can afford it but I have moved, it is disgusting to see this once great place to suck so bad..Along with the rest of the usa !! Read Less
