The word commonly used to connote Ojai’s ambiance is “magical.” Resting serenely against a dramatic mountain backdrop, in one of the world’s few east-west running valleys, the community enjoys a setting imbued with stunning sunrises, and surreal sunsets offering what locals call “the pink moment”: a phenomenon occurring when the setting sun bathes the mountains in an almost otherworldly pastel glow.
It’s no secret why, at any given time, many Ojai homes for sale offer dramatic views.
Ecology, health and wellness, arts and culture, recreation and community activities are mainstays of the Ojai lifestyle. Hosting just under 8,000 residents, the hamlet preserves the charm of a small town while providing a distinct quality of casual sophistication.
There must be reasons why dozens of well-known artists, actors, writers and innovators have made Ojai their principal or secondary residence. Primary among those reasons is location. The hamlet seems far from the madding crowd, yet is an easy 45 minute drive to Montecito and Santa Barbara, and is 90 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport. In addition, the atmosphere here is relaxed, friendly and respectful of personal privacy. Cultural and recreational activities are plentiful.
