Aldea is the townhome pocket in the middle of Dos Vientos: 150 two-story stucco homes along Via Aldea, Via Katrina and Via Antonio, with the hills behind you and the village market a seven-minute walk away. The ceilings run tall enough that these live more like small houses than condos, which is why they draw families, move-up buyers, outdoor types and Amgen commuters who want Dos Vientos schools and trails without a single-family price. Expect roughly $650K to $840K for two or three bedrooms and 1,223 to 1,784 square feet.
Walk out your front door on a weeknight in Aldea and you can hear the ballfields at Dos Vientos Community Park, where youth sports run almost every evening. Turn the other way and the Village at Dos Vientos is a seven-minute stroll for a sandwich from the deli or a forgotten carton of milk. Behind the rooftops the Santa Monica Mountains fold into 1,216 acres of open space with more than 41 miles of trails, and the two winds that gave the valley its name are part of why the weather here is so comfortable. It is a planned community that feels settled, and Aldea is one of its attached-home options.

Life in the middle of Dos Vientos
Dos Vientos is the largest planned community in the Conejo Valley and one of the parts of Newbury Park buyers ask us about most. It sits at the westernmost edge of town, pressed up against the Santa Monica Mountains, and it is unusually self-contained. Aldea sits in the middle of the master plan, which is the whole point of buying here.
Daily life revolves around a few places. The Village at Dos Vientos, with its market and deli, is a 0.4-mile walk, and there is a small playground close by as well. Dos Vientos Community Park on Borchard Road is 28 acres with five ballfields, two lighted tennis courts, sand volleyball, playgrounds and barbecue areas, open daily from 7am to 10pm. Inside the park, the 14,000-square-foot Community Center hosts indoor basketball, a preschool and free open-gym sessions for volleyball and badminton, though the schedule rotates. A smaller five-acre neighborhood park at Lynn Road and Via Andrea handles the quiet weekday playground run.
The hills matter too. Dos Vientos Open Space covers 1,216 acres with more than 41 miles of trails shared by hikers, cyclists and riders, and nearby open space includes Potrero Ridge and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area at Rancho Sierra Vista. Many households here are outdoor people first, and the area is home to a good share of Amgen employees. For the wider picture, start with our Dos Vientos neighborhood guide.

The homes: tall ceilings and a single-family feel
All 150 homes went up in 2005, so the tract reads as one piece: beige and tan two-story stucco, tile roofs, front porches, small lawns, black metal fencing, and the hills as a backdrop. Streets are Via Aldea, Via Katrina and Via Antonio.
Inside, the signature is height. Ceilings are tall enough to give an open, almost grand feel that is rare in townhomes, and it is the first thing people mention after a showing. Most plans are three bedrooms and 2.5 baths with an attached two-car garage, and the 1,524 and 1,597-square-foot layouts come up most often. Plans start at 1,223 square feet and the largest run to 1,784. Features seen in units here include a fireplace, a separate laundry room, a balcony and a small patio. Lots are simply the townhome footprint, so outdoor space means a patio, not a yard.
- Views vary a lot. Some homes sit on elevated pads with a better outlook; others look at the neighbor's roofline. Walk the specific unit.
- End units can pick up extra light and a little more separation.
- Some addresses carry a unit number in addition to the street number, which matters for title and mail.
Schools: Sycamore Canyon and Newbury Park High
Aldea is served by Sycamore Canyon School, a K-8 campus on Via Rio within Conejo Valley Unified. It enrolls roughly 977 students, earns an A overall from Niche, ranks fourth among public middle schools in Ventura County, and posts about 80 percent proficiency in math and 81 percent in reading. Families can also choose Sequoia Middle School for grades 6 through 8 rather than staying through eighth grade at Sycamore Canyon, which is the main school decision for this address.
High school is Newbury Park High School, one of only two campuses in Ventura County offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, with pathways in digital video production, woodworking and EMT training. School boundaries do change, so we confirm the current assignment for the exact address with the district before you write an offer.
The HOA and what to know before buying
There are two association bills, not one: about $444 per month to the Aldea association and about $212 per quarter to the Dos Vientos layer. Buyers often underwrite only the monthly figure, so build both into your budget. Two community pools are maintained by the HOA, at least one of them within walking distance of the homes.
Before removing contingencies, read the CC&Rs, current budget, reserve study and the last twelve months of board minutes, and get clear answers on what each association covers, reserves and any pending assessments, rental limits, pet rules and guest parking. Homes here have attached two-car garages, and guest parking rules are worth confirming in writing.
Two more items belong on every checklist. First, quote homeowners insurance early, ideally before you remove contingencies; it is the single biggest variable in this submarket, and it is worth pulling the property's current fire hazard severity zone designation from the official state viewer. Second, pull the actual tax bill and confirm any special assessments rather than relying on a listing summary. For how Aldea pricing sits against the rest of town, see our Newbury Park home values page.
Who Aldea suits, and how it compares
Aldea fits three kinds of buyers. The first is a young family that wants Sycamore Canyon, the park and the trails but is not ready for a Dos Vientos single-family price. The second is a move-up or downsizing buyer who still wants a garage, a fireplace and a short walk to the village. The third is a Conejo Valley professional, often at Amgen, who values the planned-community calm and the mountain backdrop over square footage.
It is less suited to anyone who needs a yard, wants to avoid association dues, or wants to be two minutes from the freeway. Dos Vientos sits at the far western edge of Newbury Park, set back from the 101, and that is part of its appeal.
If you are weighing Aldea against other parts of Newbury Park, our guides to Twin Oaks, Dutch Haven and Oak Creek Canyon are good next reads, and the full list lives on our Newbury Park neighborhoods page.

Is Aldea in Newbury Park or Thousand Oaks?
Both, in a sense. The mailing address is Newbury Park, 91320, while the land sits inside the City of Thousand Oaks, in the Dos Vientos planned community at the westernmost edge of town in Ventura County. Listings use either name, so search both when you are tracking inventory.

Sycamore Canyon School, a highly rated K-8 campus in Conejo Valley Unified, with the option to attend Sequoia Middle School for grades 6 through 8. High school is Newbury Park High School, which offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Confirm the current boundary for the specific address with the district before you buy.
Can you walk anywhere from Aldea?
Yes. The Village at Dos Vientos, with a market and deli, is about 0.4 miles or a seven-minute walk, and a small playground is close by. Dos Vientos Community Park and its Community Center, with ballfields, tennis courts and playgrounds, are nearby, and at least one of the HOA pools is within walking distance.
What is different about Aldea compared with other Conejo Valley townhomes?
The ceiling height. Aldea homes were built in 2005 with tall ceilings that give an open, single-family feel most townhomes lack, paired with attached two-car garages, and features like fireplaces and separate laundry rooms. Add the location in the middle of the Dos Vientos master plan and it is a notably livable attached option in Newbury Park.
