Eagle Ridge is the most sought-after of the three gated neighborhoods in Lang Ranch: 417 late-1990s two-story homes on wide streets and cul-de-sacs in northeast Thousand Oaks, with a community pool and Sapwi Trails park at the edge. It suits families who want Lang Ranch Elementary, neighbors who know each other, and open space a short walk from the front door. Homes recently sell for about $1.1M to $1.6M, with HOA dues of roughly $185 to $200 a month.
On a Saturday morning in Eagle Ridge the sound is bicycles. Kids ride the cul-de-sacs without anyone worrying about through traffic, and a few blocks away mountain bikers are already working the pump track at Sapwi Trails. The streets here are noticeably wider than in the tracts around it, the homes sit a little farther apart, and the gates keep the whole place feeling like one large shared backyard. It is the kind of neighborhood where the community pool doubles as the social calendar.

Life Inside the Gates
Lang Ranch is a master-planned slice of northeast Thousand Oaks made up of several distinct neighborhoods, three of them gated. Eagle Ridge is the one most buyers ask for first. The reasons are simple: the streets are wider, there is more breathing room between houses, and the community is genuinely social rather than just quiet.
Many homes sit at the end of cul-de-sacs or on corner lots, which is a large part of why families gravitate here. Add a community pool paid for through modest dues, and the result is a neighborhood where people actually know the names of the kids next door.
If you are comparing options within Lang Ranch, the closest gated alternative is Verdigris, a mid-1990s gated neighborhood. Summit at Lang Ranch sits a notch higher in price, roughly $1.3M to $2.3M, and Meadow Wood offers 1980s and 1990s homes.
The Homes: Late 1990s Two-Story Family Houses
Eagle Ridge was built from 1994 to 2001, and the floor plans reflect that era well: mostly two-story homes with three to five bedrooms and roughly 1,800 to 2,900 square feet. The most common sale is a four-bedroom, three-bath home with a two- or three-car garage. Some homes have real views, and those tend to command a premium when they come up.
Recent pricing runs about $1.1M to $1.6M, with the typical sale landing in the mid $1.3Ms and a little over $500 per square foot. For perspective, several of these homes changed hands in the $500Ks and $600Ks when they were a few years old in the early 2000s. You can see how that stacks up against the wider city in our Thousand Oaks home values report.
Dues of about $185 to $200 a month are low for a gated community with a pool. Exactly what those dues cover beyond the gates and the pool is worth confirming in the association budget before you commit.
Schools: Lang Ranch Elementary to Westlake High
Eagle Ridge is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and the assignment commonly cited for the neighborhood is Lang Ranch Elementary, then Los Cerritos Middle, then Westlake High.
Lang Ranch Elementary is the anchor for a lot of buyers. It carries a 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools and an A on Niche, enrolled 723 students in 2024 to 2025, and 98 percent of its students attend nearly every school day, well above district and state averages. Los Cerritos Middle sits beside the Lang Ranch park parcel, close enough that many kids walk.
One caution from experience in this part of the city: high school boundaries between Westlake High and Thousand Oaks High shift street by street in northeast Thousand Oaks. We always confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district before a client writes an offer.
Sapwi Trails and the Open Space Next Door
The best amenity in Eagle Ridge is not inside the gates. Sapwi Trails Community Park opened in September 2018 on the land bounded by Westlake Boulevard, Avenida de los Arboles and the Avenida de las Flores and Erbes Road intersection, right at the neighborhood's edge.
- Trails: several miles of multi-use paths.
- Bike skills park: a free pump track with progressive drop and jump lines, built through a partnership that includes the Conejo Recreation and Park District.
- Everything else: disc golf, a cross-country running course, a non-motorized glider area, picnic tables and barbecues, and a playground and skate park at the Erbes Road entrance.
The park is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. The Lang Ranch open space also adjoins the neighborhood. Because this is true open space, wildlife is part of the deal. Coyotes and rattlesnakes are reported on the trails in daylight, so dogs stay leashed and kids learn early to watch the path.
Before You Buy: What to Check
The landslide complex. In 2012 the park district abandoned plans for a full-service Lang Ranch community park after a geotechnical study found the park site sits on the Erbes Road Landslide Complex, roughly 380 acres with a clay layer about three inches thick as deep as 120 feet below the surface. That finding was about the park parcel, not Eagle Ridge's homes, but expect it to appear in the natural hazard disclosure, and read the geotechnical section with care rather than skipping it.
The park that was never built. If you hear references to a 52-acre Lang Ranch Community Park with ballfields and a community center, that plan was shelved. Sapwi Trails is what exists, and it is excellent for what it is.
Drainage. Lang Creek runs through the area and a county-operated storm water detention basin sits nearby. Ask about drainage on any lot along the north side.
Association documents. Order the budget, reserves and CC&Rs early. Rules on rentals, RV parking, solar and exterior colors are worth reading in full before you are in escrow.
