The Undiscovered 'Citrus Capital' On California's Coast

"Officials insist the city is entering a new era. Indeed, Santa Paula is the county's latest beneficiary of a hot real estate market that has already begun to attract investors, developers and affluent home buyers. All are lured by the unspoiled beauty and relative affordability — the median price of a home is $256,000 — of the self-proclaimed 'Citrus Capital of the World.'... Whatever course the city takes, residents in the largely Latino community do not want their town to become the next big-box battleground. In public surveys, Santa Paula residents repeatedly say they recognize the city's need to grow but not at the expense of its architectural and cultural heritage."
