About this home
Welcome to 42 N Mills Rd, a diamond in the rough in the heart of Ventura! This cosmetic fixer sits on a beautiful flat lot just steps from Anacapa Middle School and is an easy walk to Midtown's restaurants and bars. This is a genuine value-add opportunity for a starter home, income property, or flip. Mature, productive fruit trees line the wide-open backyard, which awaits your design inspiration to create the perfect retreat! Features include a one-car garage with a driveway, a garden shed out back, and a new kitchen/back door. A washer, dryer, and gas stove can be included in the sale upon request. Located within the Ventura Unified School District, the home is directly adjacent to Anacapa Middle School, with highly rated options nearby including El Camino High School and Foothill Technology High School. Ventura's beaches, historic pier, and downtown are all just a short drive away.
College, located between Downtown Ventura and the Ventura College campus, is a residential and academic Ventura neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and a steady, bike-and-walk rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Telegraph Road near Victoria Avenue, where taquerias, coffee counters, and practical storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Ventura College’s Performing Arts Center and the Ventura College Library act as cultural anchors with a campus-town feel. Housing leans to ranch homes and low-slung apartments, with mature trees and wide setbacks shaping the blocks. Arroyo Verde Park adds trailheads and open space at the neighborhood edge, while nearby Ventura Aquatic Center brings a daily-lap cadence.
