Or click the Submit Property button in the upper right corner of your screen.
Ventura, commonly called “San Buenaventura” before 1891, is the county seat of Ventura County, California and was incorporated in 1866. The population was 106,433 at the 2010 census, up from 100,916 at the 2000 census. Ventura is accessible from 3 major highways, U.S. Route 101, State Route 33, and State Route 126.
The original inhabitants of the area were Chumash Indians, who called it Shisholop “In the mud” in the Chumash language. Archaeological research demonstrates that the Chumash have deep roots in central and southern coastal regions of California, and has revealed artifacts from their culture dating back two thousand to over ten thousand years.
Father Junípero Serra arrived in the late 18th century, and founded Mission San Buenaventura in 1782, forming the basis of what would become the city. The mission was named for Saint Bonaventure, a Thirteenth Century Franciscan saint and a Doctor of the Church. The first mission burned in 1801 and a replacement building of brick and stone was completed in 1809. The bell tower and facade of the new mission was destroyed by an 1812 earthquake. On July 6, 1841, Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado granted Rancho San Miguel to Felipe Lorenzana and Raymundo Olivas, whose Olivas Adobe on the banks of the Santa Clara River was the most magnificent hacienda south of Monterey.
Not easily accessible, Ventura was not a target of immigrants, and as such, remained quiet and rural. For most of the century which followed the incorporation of Ventura in 1866, it remained isolated from the rest of the state. Inland, Ventura was hemmed in by (what is now) the Los Padres National Forest, composed of mountainous country and deep canyons. This route became passable with the completion of the Maricopa Highway (Hwy 33) in the 1930s.
Since then, Ventura has grown steadily. In 1920 there were 4,156 people. In 1930 the population had increased to 11,603, by 1950 the population reached 16,643, by 1970 the population was 57,964, and in 1980 the population had increased to 73,774. In the last three decades it has increased to approximately 107,000.
The major road through Ventura is the Ventura Freeway (U.S. Route 101), connecting the California Central Coast and San Francisco to the north, and Los Angeles to the south. State Route 33, the Ojai Freeway, heads north to Ojai. State Route 126 and State Route 118 head east to Santa Clarita and Simi Valley, respectively.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Ventura has a total area of 32.1 square miles. 21.7 square miles of it is land and 10.4 square miles of it (32.53%) is water.

According to an editorial in the April 26, 2011, edition of the Long Beach Press-Telegram, support to maintain Vernon’s city status came from two powerful groups that were rarely allied: the business community (including the California, Los Angeles, and Vernon Chambers of Commerce) and the labor community (including the Los Angeles Federation of Labor and the Teamsters), joined together in the battle against Sacramento to maintain Vernon’s status as a Los Angeles California City.

Victorville is a city located in the Victor Valley of southwestern San Bernardino County, California. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 census, the city had a population of 115,903.
In the late 1858, Aaron Lane came to what is now considered Victorville and created “Lane’s Crossing.” Lane’s Crossing provided supplies and shelter for people making the journey across the desert from the east to the San Bernardino area. Lane’s Crossing was on the Mojave River just north of where the river crosses Interstate 15. Originally Lane migrated west to join the California gold rush, but he found out that he could make a better living selling supplies to miners. Census records show that Aaron Lane was not alone living on the crossing and there were ten people living in two residences on the river by 1860.
About 1895, the village was named “Victor” for the California Southern Railroad’s General Manager Jacob Nash Victor. In 1901, the U.S. Post Office Department changed that name to Victorville to avoid confusion with the town of Victor, Colorado. In 1926, the highway U.S. Route 66 was begun, and it passed through Victorville. Today, that former route is known as Seventh Street and continues across Interstate 15 and becomes Palmdale Road. It is the primary street through Old Town Victorville.
In 1940, Herman J. Mankiewicz and John Houseman wrote the first two drafts of the script for the film Citizen Kane in Victorville, while residing at the Green Spot motel along Route 66.
The Victorville Army Airfield was constructed beginning in 1941, and this airfield became the George Air Force Base when the U.S. Air Force was established in October, 1947. The city of Victorville was officially incorporated by the State of California on September 21, 1962.

As of the 2010 Census, the city had a population of 5,812, down from 5,999 at the 2000 census, achieving the status of the smallest city in Orange County by population (La Palma is Orange County’s smallest city in area). Villa Park includes about 2,000 homes and the land is nearly 99% built out. The city is largely zoned for single-family residences and are located on larger lots that average about 20,000 square feet or 1/2 acre in size. Within the city limits there is one small shopping center that includes a grocery stores, three banks, a pharmacy with a postal substation, and a variety of stores and offices. City Hall, including a community room, and a branch of the Orange County Public Library are located adjacent to the city’s only shopping center.
There are a total of four public schools with the city, including Serrano and Villa Park Elementary Schools, Cerro Villa Middle School, and Villa Park High School. All four schools are operated by the Orange Unified School District, which also happens to be the largest employer within the city.
Interestingly for a city named Villa Park, there are no public parks within the entire city limits. Many homes have pools or tennis courts, or both. Unlike the urban areas of Orange County which are situated west of the city, Villa Park has winding streets and it is known for having a rural feel with few sidewalks and limited street lights. Throughout the city are many trees and flowers located in planted medians and parkways that contribute to a rural, green-belt like ambiance. Surrounded by the city of Orange, Villa Park appears as an enclave or “perforation” within the city of Orange. This is due largely to the fact that Villa Park’s early unwillingness to annex land beyond Santiago Creek, to annex the lands east of a Southern California Edison Power Line Easement that sat between the city of Villa Park and Anaheim Hills, eventually being annexed by the city of Orange.
