Port Hueneme is a small beach city just south of Oxnard and east of the Channel Islands. The town is best known for being home to Port Hueneme Naval Base.

Residents enjoy living minutes away from waterfront parks and beaches, including Silver Strand State Beach and La Jenelle Park. The town has several inland parks, like Walter B. Moranda Park, as well. When residents aren't enjoying the beaches, you'll find them at special events like the Hueneme Beach Festival. Most of Port Hueneme's restaurants, shops, and other establishments are located along South Ventura Boulevard and West Channel Islands Boulevard. This coastal town has a wide range of rental options including beachfront condos, single-family houses, and mid-rise apartments. As of 2023, the cost of living in Port Hueneme has seen an increase, with median rent prices for one-bedroom apartments averaging around $2,200 per month.
