Learn MoreWhat we look after in Santa Paula
Union Oil began here in 1890, and Santa Paula still shows that citrus and oil history, with about 15% of homes predating 1950. Quakes hurt brick with little or no reinforcing the most. On those we take extra care, and explain what we can and cannot see. The 1994 quake shook this valley, older buildings in Santa Paula included. Evacuations came with the 2024 Mountain Fire on the hills to the south, so screens matter, and colder winter nights than the coast add stress to tired mortar.
The Houses
Around Santa Paula the stock runs to early homes from a citrus and oil town, later detached houses, with some apartments.
Before the First Fire
After the 2024 fire, confirm your spark screen, and on prewar brick, ask for a camera before any winter fire.
Care of the Room
Old rooms get soft cover along the hearth and floor, and anything we touch goes back in its place.
Close By
Santa Paula stops sometimes fall alongside Ojai, Camarillo, Saticoy.
