Beachfronter

Best place I’ve ever lived! AND STILL LIVE AT!
The grounds are immaculate and it’s not only steps from the beach BUT ON THE BEACH/​PROMENADE
Definitely a paradise and Valerie makes sure it stays like this! She ever took it upon herself to get the Dolphin Fountains cleaned up and working great!

Great place! Great location! Dishwasher, laundry on site, parking. Walk everywhere. Pets welcome. Great managers.
Very affordable compared to other 1 bedrooms I looked at. Great deal.

Used to be great, but management has deteriorated and the rent was raised 15% after my first year. (I’m now paying $ 2,075 for a 700 sq ft apt. Ridiculous in Ventura.) The apartments are old (built in the early 70’s). with very few upgrades. (They even still have popcorn ceilings.) There is no washer dryer in the apartment and the laundry facility costs the same as a laundromat, just so they can scalp you a bit more, and the washers are terrible quality.
Oh — and the Lydia who wrote the review below — is the manager.

I have lived in mid-​town, the hills, and this is my favorite location. Management is friendly, professional, and prompt with service needs. Listening to the ocean waves daily is relaxing and amazing. The only noise that is annoying are the trains horns and race carts, and management recently installed new windows to diminish the noise level. THANK YOU! ALL the neighbors I have met are genuinely friendly as living at the beach has that affect. There is a great pool here, laundry, yes we can see the ocean from your patio, all the comforts in our apartment, plenty of guest parking, and secure access, too. Located a short walk to downtown and the gym makes this one of the best places to live in Ventura. Until we buy, we are staying put…

The best part of living at these apartments is the location. The location is great especially if you are into surfing. The management (specifically the lady with the accent) is the reason for the mediocre review. Poor customer service & downright rude very often. You’d expect to get treated with top notch customer service since the rent is high, however, that is not the case. Other than that– I’d recommend living here. It is wonderful to wake up and hear the waves crashing outside of your window. I’d move back to be by the beach again.
