What Makes Conejo Oaks One of Thousand Oaks' Best Neighborhoods?

Conejo Oaks sits on the east side of Thousand Oaks and feels a lot like the popular Lynn Ranch: more than 400 custom homes on large lots, many with room for horses. What sets it apart is the combination of privacy and convenience, and the tall, mature trees lining the streets give the neighborhood an understated, upscale feel.

The neighborhood's character stems from its thoughtful development. The community dates back to 1957 and has filled in over the decades, which gives it an established feel newer developments lack. It is also unusually social. The Conejo Family Country Club, open only to Conejo Oaks residents, is a popular spot for swimming, tennis, basketball, or just barbecuing with neighbors.

Safety remains a cornerstone of the appeal. Thousand Oaks consistently ranks as one of the nation's safest cities, and the Old Meadows / Conejo Oaks area ranks among the lowest-crime neighborhoods in that data. NeighborhoodScout also rates Old Meadows / Conejo Oaks among the best neighborhoods for families in California, more family-friendly than 95.9% of neighborhoods in the state.

How Is the Conejo Oaks Real Estate Market Performing in 2026?

Pricing discipline is what separates results in Conejo Oaks right now. Well-priced homes often sell in roughly 30 to 45 days, while overpriced listings tend to drift past 60 days. Median prices are stable, with flat to modest appreciation (1% to 3%) across most Ventura County cities.

On rates, C.A.R. forecast an average of 6.0% for 2026 and Fannie Mae projected roughly the same (5.9%) by late 2026. You can check where the 30-year rate actually sits on the Federal Reserve's weekly rate series. If you have been waiting on rates, it is worth running the numbers at today's level rather than a hoped-for future one.

Inventory is loosening slowly. Many owners are still sitting on ultra-low pandemic-era rates, which has kept supply from surging, but we are seeing a steady uptick in new listings as life events (job changes, upsizing, downsizing, moves closer to family) override the "I love my 3% rate" mindset.
