Leisure Village

Independent Assessment

Leisure Village is confirmed as a genuine, well-documented 55+ deed-restricted community, with strong multi-source agreement on its 2,136-home count, 1973-1984 build years, 400-acre footprint, on-site par-3 golf course, and comprehensive HOA-covered exterior maintenance. Leisure Village Camarillo is unrelated to the Ross Cortese "Leisure World" lineage (Seal Beach and Laguna Woods) — the two share only a similar-sounding name, not a developer, corporate structure, or governance history. Reported HOA fees vary by floor plan (roughly $602 to $823-plus per month for the 2025-2026 budget cycle), which is treated as an expected range across 25 distinct models rather than a discrepancy. The association's own recorded CC&R text was not independently reviewed; buyers should confirm the community's exact current age-restriction and visitor-duration language directly with the Leisure Village Association.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a large, well-established, guard-gated community with comprehensive HOA-covered exterior maintenance (including roofs, landscaping, and even cable/internet) and an on-site par-3 golf course are a strong fit for Leisure Village. Its Camarillo location, described by residents and agents as one of Ventura County's best values for affordable, low-maintenance 55+ living, also suits buyers who want Central Coast weather and easy access to nearby Ventura, Oxnard, and the Highway 101 corridor without the premium pricing found in coastal Santa Barbara or the wine country markets to the north.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Leisure Village was developed between 1973 and 1984 in Camarillo; the original developer's name was not independently confirmed. The community comprises 2,136 homes across 25 distinct floor plans ranging from 672 to 1,829 square feet, predominantly duplex, triplex, and quad clusters with some single-family homes, each with one to two-car garages or a designated carport. The community is now fully built out, and all current purchases are resale.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported figures place Leisure Village's median listing price around $803K and average sale price near $623K, though this varies significantly by the specific one of 25 floor plans and unit size (672-1,829 sq ft). Buyers should request recent closed comparables reflecting the specific floor plan under consideration from a local agent familiar with the Camarillo market.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Leisure Village has been fully built out since 1984, and no new-home construction was found; all current purchases are resale. Given the range of build years (1973-1984) and the community's age, buyers should budget for a full independent inspection and should request the association's current financials, reserve study, and CC&R documentation before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Leisure Village are subject to Ventura County property tax at the county's current rate. California's Proposition 19 allows qualifying homeowners 55 or older to transfer their existing assessed property value to a replacement home, separate from this community's own 55+ HOA eligibility threshold; buyers should confirm current eligibility and exact rates directly with the Ventura County Assessor's Office. Because the HOA's master insurance policy reportedly covers home exteriors and common areas, buyers should confirm exactly what is and is not covered, and what supplemental interior/personal-property coverage they will need separately.

Golf

Leisure Village's on-site golf amenity is an 18-hole par-3 course, available to residents within the guard-gated community. The community is also close to several public courses, including Camarillo Springs Golf Course and Sterling Hills Golf Course, for residents seeking longer-format play. Current membership terms and fees for the on-site course remain unconfirmed; buyers should confirm directly with the Leisure Village Association.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Leisure Village offers a comprehensive, low-maintenance 55+ lifestyle across its 400-acre, guard-gated footprint, with HOA-covered exterior maintenance (including roofs and landscaping) freeing residents from most home upkeep. The community's on-site par-3 golf course, more than 60 clubs, and full recreation center amenities support an active social calendar, while the mix of duplex, triplex, quad, and single-family floor plans offers a range of sizes from 672 to 1,829 square feet.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Leisure Village is located around 5257 Mission Oaks Blvd, Camarillo, CA 93012, in Ventura County on California's Central Coast. The community is close to Camarillo's shopping, dining, and Highway 101 corridor, with reasonable access to Oxnard, Ventura, and the broader Ventura County coastline.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Leisure Village's homeowners association enforces a deed restriction requiring at least one resident per household to be 55 or older; a married couple qualifies if one spouse meets the age requirement. Minors may not reside in the community on a permanent, full-time basis but may visit for up to approximately 90 days (about three months) cumulatively per calendar year, per reported HOA rules. The association's own recorded CC&R text was not independently reviewed. As a California community, Leisure Village is also subject to the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civil Code §51.3), which requires 100% of occupied units to have at least one resident 55 or older — a stricter standard than the federal Housing for Older Persons Act's 80% minimum. Buyers should confirm the community's current exact age-verification procedures directly with the Leisure Village Association.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because most Leisure Village homes were built between 1973 and 1984, buyers should expect a wide range of renovation histories and finish conditions across the community's 25 floor plans, and should budget for a full independent inspection on any resale purchase. Many homes are attached (duplex, triplex, or quad) rather than fully detached single-family, which some buyers may find limits privacy or exterior customization relative to a standalone home; buyers who specifically want a single-family lot should confirm which of the 25 floor plans qualify. Reported HOA fees vary meaningfully by floor plan (roughly $602-$823-plus/month), so buyers should confirm the current exact figure for the specific model under consideration.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Leisure Village is far larger (2,136 homes) than the newer Nevina (roughly 413-430 new-construction homes in Paso Robles) and the manufactured-home communities Pacific Pointe (60 townhomes, Oxnard), Lemon Wood (231 sites, Ventura), and Indian Hill (roughly 163 homes, Avila Beach). Leisure Village's comprehensive HOA-covered exterior maintenance and guard-gated scale most closely resembles a large master-planned resort community, offered here at a comparatively affordable resale price point relative to Nevina's new-construction pricing from the $800,000s.
