I grew up in Ventura, CA and I can tell you the area is amazing! The weather will be great all year! (I miss CA so much!) The base is now combined- Pt Mugu and Port Hueneme- so you can live on either base. If I remember correctly, Pt Mugu family housing is pretty nice. It's old ranches, but pretty spacious comparatively, and most have garages. Pt Mugu is pretty far out of town. If you want to live in the community I would recommend Camarillo because that end of Oxnard is not too great. Good luck in whatever you decide! Have fun and enjoy Ventura County you lucky people!
