About Santa Paula
The town was once known as a pre-Hollywood headquarters of film production, and sightings of movie shoots and incognito starlets aren’t uncommon. Fans of original craftsman style homes, Spanish homes and Victorian will find Santa Paula to be a real treasure trove. (There’s a brand-new housing development being built in town that’s attracting massive interest as well.)
Blessed with an incredible climate of year-round warmth, Santa Paula has also earned acclaim as the “Citrus Capital of the World.” (Guacamole fans will also appreciate that one of the world’s biggest avocado processors operates in town!)
This small city is also positioned smack dab in the center of Ventura County. With the rich supply of culture, sunny days, and vibrant sights, Santa Paula might have you thinking it’s the center of the world too.
