The Arbolada

 

 

Shaded by magnificent oaks in a valley northwest of Los Angeles and east of Santa Barbara, the Arbolada is one of California’s most quintessential and unique neighborhoods. This tranquil paradise is notable for the privacy it offers while being just a convenient walk from the shopping, dining, and entertainment of Downtown Ojai.
