Camarillo is just down the hill from Thousand Oaks down on the coastal plains. Camarillo and Oxnard are definitely more Chula Vista-ish than either TO or Ventura. Lots of agriculture in the area.
I used to live in Santa Paula, which is about 10 miles north of Ventura up the 126. Lots of Citrus and Avocado farming in the area with a nice old downtown area and some newer developments (at the time in the early 90’s).
Ventura county prices aren’t as inflated as Santa Barbara to the north but they rival San Diego to a large degree.
Expect to see a similar housing market. Note that a major employer in the area is Amgen. As goes Amgen so goes the TO market. That area is also a bedroom community to LA and the San Fernando Valley.
For housing, you can look in Moorpark (just a short ride up the 118 from TO) as well as southern Ventura, Oxnard and Simi Valley. Note that the nicer areas in Oxnard are down near the beach and are likely to be expensive.
