Thousand Oaks is consistently ranked among the best places to live in California — the city’s combination of the top-performing Conejo Valley Unified School District, the remarkably low crime rate, the 15,000+ acres of protected open space, the 101 Freeway commute access to Los Angeles, and the established planned-community residential quality creates the residential demand that has sustained Thousand Oaks’ property values as one of the most consistently appreciated residential markets in Southern California.

The Thousand Oaks residential market’s long-term appreciation trajectory reflects the city’s fundamental supply constraints: the development rights that the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area protect as permanent open space, the city’s established zoning that limits high-density development in the city’s core residential areas, and the sustained demand from the Los Angeles professional and executive household that has identified the Conejo Valley lifestyle as the preferred alternative to the Los Angeles basin’s traffic, density, and residential costs. The 101 Freeway commute to the Westside and the San Fernando Valley, the Amtrak and Metrolink access from the nearby Moorpark station, and the proximity to the Ventura County employment base (Amgen’s corporate campus is in Thousand Oaks, and the biotech and technology sectors create significant employment) create the regional connectivity that sustains the Thousand Oaks residential market’s demand from both the commuter and the locally employed professional household.
