Marketing description
501 Santa Clara Street presents a rare opportunity to establish your business or investment in the heart of Fillmore’s charming and historic downtown corridor. Located within the desirable Central Business District (CBD) overlay, this highly visible commercial property combines small-town character, strong street presence, and flexible future potential in one of Ventura County’s emerging destination communities.

The large lot creates additional possibilities for outdoor dining, entertainment space, courtyard environments, or enhanced customer experiences subject to city approval.
Fillmore continues to attract entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners seeking an authentic downtown environment with room for growth, lower density, and a strong sense of community. 501 Santa Clara offers the opportunity to become part of that momentum.
