Introduction

Leisure Village is a beautiful, active senior community located in Camarillo, California. Leisure Village is nestled in the hills of the Santa Rosa Valley with a gorgeous backdrop of the Santa Monica mountains. It is a community filled with active, friendly residents making Leisure Village a fun and unique place to live. This community has 2,136 homes. All of the homes are one story, ranch style homes to provide easy access throughout the home. Twenty-five models were originally built ranging in size from one bedroom at 866 square feet to two bedroom with a den at 1,850 square feet. In addition to the many homes still mimicking the builder’s original design, many owners have customized their homes both in look and in size. Keep in mind in Leisure Village if you have seen one home… you have not seen them all!

Leisure Village is located on 440 beautiful acres and was built by Leisure Technology. The community was developed over 10 years from 1973 to 1984 in three phases. In addition to the 2,136 homes, the community includes: an 18 hole par 3 golf course, a recreation center, a swimming pool and spa, tennis and paddle tennis courts, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard courts, RV parking, a fitness center, various meeting rooms, 185 acres of beautifully landscaped common area, and much more. All of the amenities are impeccably maintained by the association.

Leisure Village is a planned-unit development and is governed by an elected Board of Directors. Along with the Board of Directors are many committees made up of residents who serve with the association’s professional staff. Leisure Village is age restricted; formally the community complies with State Civil Code 51.3 and the Federal Fair Housing Act, and it is defined as a senior housing development—meaning one resident must be at least age 55.

On the units with a common wall, the individual walls have an airspace between each unit so you do not hear one another. Most of the homes have two bedrooms and one and three quarter baths. Some of the homes have a den and or a formal dining room. The homes have mostly 1 car and some 2 car garages, along with some carports. The homes were built from 1973 to 1984.

Will you please tell me about the security at Leisure Village?
The security at Leisure Village includes 24 hour guarded gates and patrol cars. All security personnel are trained in emergency First Aid. The patrol cars also use radar patrol to control speed.

Where is the nearest grocery store, drug store, hospital, and airport? Are banks nearby?
The closest store to Leisure Village is Longs Drug store located just outside the gates. The closest grocery store is Vons which is in Mission Oaks Plaza about one mile from the Main Gate just up the hill on Woodcreek Dr. (Which is also where you find your favorite Real Estate Consultants - Barlow Williams Realty) The closest hospital is St. Johns Pleasant Valley Hospital about four miles away. Also in the area are Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks and St. Johns Regional Hospital in Oxnard. The closest commercial airport is in Oxnard about 20 miles away, but most residents use Burbank or Los Angeles International Airport which are about an hour away. As far as banks in the area you have Bank of America , Wells Fargo, and Washington Mutual all within a mile.

Does Leisure Village provide transportation in and around Leisure Village?
Leisure Village is an active senior community and therefore does not provide transportation to its residents within the community. Residents either walk, bike, drive, (both fuel and electric vehicles) or some combination of each to get around in this active community. The city of Camarillo does provide free bus service to Leisure Village residents and the bus passes through Leisure Village on the two main roads.

I have been told Leisure Village homes have no gas and are therefore powered only electrically. So how much should I plan for as an electric bill?
It is true that all the homes run off electric power. It is hard to put a number on your monthly bill because it will vary based on your usage, home size, and type/quality of appliances. Your best resource is to check with Southern California Edison Company at (800) 655-4555.
