Brock Collection is a 225-home pocket of Lang Ranch where the elementary school sits on one of your own streets, the open space trails start minutes from the front door, and a light-touch HOA costs about $170 a quarter. The homes are two-story, four and five bedroom houses from 1987 and 1988, typically with three-car garages, and they sell for about $1.1M to $1.6M. It suits families who want Lang Ranch Elementary and Westlake High without paying for a gate.
On a December evening the whole of Baywater Place lights up in sync, neighbors drifting down the sidewalk with coffee to watch. On a school morning the walk to Lang Ranch Elementary on Whitechapel Place takes some kids less time than it takes their parents to find car keys, and on a Saturday the same families are a few minutes from the trailheads into Lang Ranch and Woodridge open space. That is the rhythm of Brock Collection: a quiet, hillside corner of northeast Thousand Oaks where daily life is built around the school, the trails and the people next door.

Life on Baywater, Whitechapel and Chaucer
Brock Collection is three short streets tucked into the hills of Lang Ranch, with some homes looking out at the surrounding mountains. It reads as a traditional family neighborhood: gardens that get attention, dogs on leashes heading toward the park.
The annual Baywater Lights display is the kind of thing that only happens where neighbors actually know each other. Residents here talk about home improvement, gardening, walking and hiking as the things they care about, and that matches what we see when we drive through.
The homes: late-1980s two-stories with room to grow
The houses were built in 1987 and 1988 as two-story family homes, most often four bedrooms and three baths with a three-car garage, on lots in the 7,400 to 8,300 square foot range. That lot size gives a real backyard without the maintenance of a true hillside estate.
Nearly 40 years in, the interesting question on any given home is what has been updated. Some have been redone with new kitchens, windows and systems; others may still carry original-era HVAC, aluminum windows and plumbing. Prices run about $1.1M to $1.6M, and where a home lands in that band depends heavily on condition and whether it catches a view.
The HOA is modest at about $170 a quarter, which in this part of the Conejo Valley usually means owners handle their own roofs, exteriors and yards while the association looks after common areas. Ask for the budget and CC&Rs early so you know exactly what the dues cover and what the rules say about paint, parking and solar.
Schools: the elementary is inside the neighborhood
Lang Ranch Elementary sits on Whitechapel Place, one of the neighborhood's own streets. For many families that means a genuine walk to school, and it is a school people move here for, described as performing in the top 5% of California elementary schools.
From there students move to Los Cerritos Middle on Avenida de las Flores and then Westlake High in Westlake Village. Conejo Valley Unified assignments can shift block to block elsewhere in the city, so confirm the specific address with the district, but Brock Collection draws to all three.
One practical note: a school on your street means a burst of drop-off and pick-up traffic on weekdays. Visit around 8am and 2:45pm before you commit to a home closest to the campus.
Trails, parks and getting around
Lang Ranch Neighborhood Park is the everyday stop, with a grassy field, playground, basketball court and a paved loop path. Parking on Lang Ranch Parkway near the park is limited, which matters less when you can walk.
The bigger draw is the Lang Ranch and Woodridge open space, about 1,025 acres backing onto roughly 8,000 more, with around 10 miles of trails and long views toward the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains. Oakbrook Vista, Autumn Ridge, Meadow Vista and the Long Canyon to Lang Ridge loop all start nearby, and the network connects through to Simi Valley and to the Cheeseboro and Palo Comado canyons toward Agoura Hills.
This is the northeast corner of Thousand Oaks, where Avenida de los Arboles meets Westlake Boulevard, so you are set back from the busier parts of the city with open space at your back door. Buyers who weigh that trade should also look at how prices here fit into the wider picture in our Thousand Oaks home values report.
Who it suits and what to know before buying
Brock Collection fits families who want Lang Ranch schools, a yard and a three-car garage, and who would rather spend on the house than on a gate. Dues are inexpensive by local standards.
- Not gated. Several nearby Lang Ranch and North Ranch communities are. If a gate matters to you, start there instead.
- Age-appropriate inspections. With 1987 and 1988 construction, have your inspector look closely at plumbing, drains, HVAC and windows, and price the difference between an updated home and an original one.
- Hillside and open space adjacency. Check the property's fire hazard designation and get an insurance quote during your contingency period, and expect wildlife to visit the yard.
- Taxes and assessments. Pull a current property tax bill so you know about any special assessments before you write an offer.
