THOUSAND OAKS


Discover the Splendor of Thousand Oaks: Where Nature Meets Urban Elegance

Nestled in the idyllic northwestern reaches of Greater Los Angeles, Thousand Oaks beckons with its perfect blend of natural beauty and cosmopolitan charm. Just a short 15-mile drive from the bustling heart of Los Angeles and a mere 40 miles from the vibrant Downtown, this city, named after its abundant oak trees, offers a sanctuary of tranquility.

As the second-largest city in Ventura County, California, Thousand Oaks forms the vibrant heart of the Conejo Valley. Its incorporation in 1964 marked the beginning of a dynamic expansion, extending its embrace both to the west and east. The master-planned community of Westlake and the majority of Newbury Park found their home within the city's borders during the progressive late 1960s and 1970s. At its eastern border lies the Los Angeles County–Ventura County line, now known as Westlake Village.

Perched in the southeastern reaches of Ventura County, Thousand Oaks resides halfway between the bustling hubs of Los Angeles and the serene beauty of Santa Barbara, with the Pacific Ocean only 12 miles to the west. Nestled at an elevation of 900 feet, the Conejo Valley comprises 55 of the city's sprawling 1,884 square miles, a space larger than Long Beach and 20 percent more expansive than San Francisco.

A remarkable 34 percent of the city is dedicated to open-space nature areas, amounting to 15,194 acres of unspoiled natural beauty as of 2017. The southern edges are graced by 928 acres of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a testament to Thousand Oaks' commitment to preserving its breathtaking surroundings.

Within the Greater Los Angeles Area, Thousand Oaks stands 38 miles west of the city, its closest coastal neighbor being the iconic Malibu. This connection can be traversed through winding roads, a scenic bike path, or invigorating hiking trails that wind through the majestic Santa Monica Mountains.

Bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, the Conejo Mountains to the west and north, and the Simi Hills to the northeast, the Conejo Valley is a tapestry of diverse landscapes.

Newbury Park commands nearly 40 percent of the city's sprawling land area, adding to the rich diversity of Thousand Oaks.

While shopping centers like the Janss Marketplace and The Oaks mall cater to commerce, many residents find solace in suburban enclaves away from the city's bustling centers. Housing districts near Lynn Road showcase this harmonious blend, surrounded by walls designed to safeguard peaceful residential roads from bustling traffic.

Embrace the perfect synthesis of natural serenity and urban sophistication that is Thousand Oaks. Revel in a lifestyle that cherishes both the vibrant energy of city life and the timeless beauty of California's sprawling landscapes. Your haven awaits.
