Your Newbury Park, CA Guide | Conejo Valley Guy

Welcome to Newbury Park

Newbury Park is technically part of Thousand Oaks and offers many of the same benefits. It’s the most northern section of Thousand Oaks offering more affordable homes, cooler temperatures and bigger yards. It’s also home to one of our most popular and newest large communities, Dos Vientos.

Newbury Park Lifestyle

The laidback Conejo Valley lifestyle is alive and well in Newbury Park offering a similar vibe to Thousand Oaks and sharing many of the same amenities. Scenic vistas and hiking trails are abundant, expanding all the way to the ocean keeping the temperature noticeably cooler.

Locals tend to stay to this side of the Conejo Valley mainly venturing to the Westlake Village side for a night out or a change of scenery.

Newbury Park Housing Style

Newbury Park is a mix of the old and the new. Many of the original homes were built in the 1960s and are in need of some updating. Other communities that run along Lynn Road offer the full spectrum of housing including large modern homes with the latest design. Overall, Newbury Park is the most affordable town in the Conejo Valley. Expect to find homes with a lower price per square foot and a larger yard.

In the older sections of Newbury Park, the homes are often charming with mountain views and pride of ownership throughout the neighborhood. However some neighborhoods have fallen behind. You’ll need some guidance as to which neighborhoods make a good home and which areas should probably be avoided.

Dos Vientos

The sprawling and newer Dos Vientos community is the largest planned community in the Conejo Valley and is home to many of the areas Amgen employees. It provides a family centric lifestyle with its own local community center & park surrounded by rolling hills and stunning views.

CVUSD is the largest and covers Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, and the area of Westlake Village in Ventura County. It has 17 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools.

Who Should Look Here

Value is part of the attraction of Newbury Park. You can often find a single family home for the same price or cheaper than a Westlake Village townhome. The more remote feeling of Newbury Park is appealing to many providing a relaxed lifestyle that’s safe and enjoyable. If you’re considering Thousand Oaks, you’ll definitely want to add Newbury Park to your search. And if you’re not finding a suitable home in your price range in the Westlake Village area, expanding your search to Newbury Park may do the trick.

Things to Keep in Mind

Some of the homes and neighborhoods look dated and can use a refresh. Many of the communities lack Homeowner Associations which is lighter on the wallet but can lead to tired looking neighborhoods. You may find Newbury Park a bit more removed from the Conejo Valley’s best town centers, but only a short drive away.
