Thousand Oaks has always been one of Ventura County's most sought-after communities — and in 2026, that hasn't changed.

What has changed is who's buying, what they're looking for, and how the market is moving. If you're considering Thousand Oaks for your next home — or thinking about selling there — here's what you need to know.

Why Thousand Oaks Keeps Attracting Buyers

It starts with location. Thousand Oaks sits in the Conejo Valley, surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains, with easy access to both LA and the Ventura coast. The Conejo Valley Unified School District is consistently ranked among the best in the state.

Add in the hiking — Wildwood Regional Park, Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, miles of trails through the Santa Monica Mountains — and you've got a lifestyle that's hard to replicate.



The Neighborhoods Worth Knowing

Dos Vientos sits on the western side and skews newer. Larger homes, modern floor plans, and families who moved from the Westside of LA. Pricing tends to be on the higher end.

Lang Ranch is tucked against the foothills and feels quieter. Strong resale value and proximity to top-rated elementary schools.

Newbury Park is technically part of Thousand Oaks but feels like its own community. More affordable, with excellent hiking access. Buyers who prioritize outdoor living gravitate here.

North Ranch and Lake Sherwood are the luxury tier. Gated communities, custom estates, golf course access, and pricing that starts well above $1 million.

What the Market Looks Right Now 

Thousand Oaks pricing runs higher than Simi Valley on average. Entry-level condos and townhomes can start in the $500,000s, while single-family homes typically range from $800,000 to $1.2 million. Luxury properties push well beyond that.

The same balanced-market dynamics we're seeing across Ventura County apply here. Homes priced right are selling. Homes priced too high are sitting.
