Why families pick Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks sits in the Conejo Valley with about a third of the city set aside as open space. Families who choose it usually come for the Conejo Valley Unified School District, the trails and being closer to Los Angeles for a spouse's job.
The drive is the cost. Plan on 30 to 50 minutes to Point Mugu and 30 to 45 to Port Hueneme, over the Conejo Grade on the 101.
Getting around
- US 101 runs through the middle of the city. The Conejo Grade between Newbury Park and Camarillo backs up at rush hour and stops for any crash.
- Los Robles Regional Medical Center is in town.
- The Oaks mall and The Promenade at Westlake cover shopping and dining.
Things to know before you buy
- Fire hazard zones cover much of the hillside edge of the Conejo Valley. Get insurance quotes early.
- Prices run higher than the coastal cities. BAH covers less of the payment here, so run your numbers first.
