EXPLORE CAMARILLO

Camarillo, California is located in the Eastern Oxnard Plan with the Santa Susana Mountains to the north, the Camarillo Hills to the northwest, the Conejo Valley to the east and the Santa Monica Mountains to the south. Its position in a coastal valley begets mild ocean breezes and a temperate, Mediterranean-type climate. The city enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year.

The city boasts 25,702 houses on nearly 20 square miles of land. 15% of Camarillo’s land is known as Mission Oaks, a planned community completed in 2004 by developer Pardee Homes. Property in Mission Oaks is at a premium due to the beautiful parks and award-winning schools that serve the community. It is a popular location for families.

Camarillo was named after Adolfo and Juan Camarillo, prominent landowners, horse breeders and philanthropists in the late 19th and early 20th century. At one point, most of Camarillo was owned by the brothers, first as Rancho Calleguas and soon as Camarillo Ranch. After the death of their mother, Martina Camarillo, Juan and Adolfo inherited Rancho Calleguas. They developed the land, growing from mainly cattle to a cattle and crop ranch. The two brothers developed a subset of the Arabian horse breed called the Camarillo White Horse, which officially began in 1921 and continues today.

Contemporary Camarillo maintains a large agricultural presence in Ventura
County, but also offers its residents quite a few urban amenities. Home to one of the largest outlet malls in the state, Camarillo boasts plenty of high-end shopping and dining.
