Ojai sits in an inland valley about 14 miles north of Ventura, with hot, dry summers and cooler winter nights than the coast. Homes range from historic Craftsman and Spanish-style houses near the Arcade to ranch homes and properties in the surrounding foothills. The 2017 Thomas Fire burned large areas of the hills around the valley.

- Older homes with raised floors and aging plumbing.
- Sewer laterals damaged by the roots of the valley's large oaks and other trees.
