    "Our experience is that the mid-town, beaches and overall area are a great place to live! 10+. We walk to the beaches and farmers market, and enjoy the people and sites along the way. The weather is great and so are the beaches. The Avenue has great shops, restaurants, and gathering areas. Always lots of people to meet. I’d highly recommend checking out Ventura ! "

    "The location is great. Central to many restaurants, bars and stores. It’s a bit noisy with the hospital near by - lots of ambulances and cop sirens. Not much of a neighborhood. I’ve lived on Catalina for 2 years and don’t know any neighbors. Wet few people come out of their homes and not very welcoming. "
