There have already been some huge upsets in the NCCA Basketball Tournament’s first few rounds, but there’s nothing upsetting about living in Ventura, especially when you buy a new home at The Farm, the area’s most popular new community! In honor of March Madness, we’ve been running down the top 64 reasons to buy a home in Ventura to coincide with the 64 teams who made the cut. Here is the second group of 16 (You can see the first batch here):

The Harbor, with all its natural beauty and family-friendly activities, is just one reason to buy a home in Ventura.
- The nightlife—Yes, there is one! Head Downtown and see for yourself!

- The hamburgers at Duke’s. And the Baked Oysters at Lure Fish House. And the Maple Bacon Beignets at Café Nouveau. We know that’s three, but there are just too favorite dishes in Ventura not to list a few.
