East Hill is a quiet pocket of about 130 homes from around 1980 at the back of north Thousand Oaks, laid out along cul-de-sacs at the edge of Sunset Hills Country Club, with HOA-kept paseos and golf course or mountain views from some lots. It suits buyers who want a larger 1980s house than the surrounding 1960s Sunset Hills stock, on a lot that can run from about 8,000 square feet to half an acre, without a gate or a resort-style HOA. Homes run three to five bedrooms and roughly 1,820 to 3,200 square feet, and they sold for about $1.2M to $1.78M in 2025 and 2026.
The thing you notice first in East Hill is how little traffic there is. Many of the streets end in cul-de-sacs, so Calle del Sol and Corte Cancion stay quiet. Mornings start with a walk on the paseos that thread between the homes, with Sunset Hills Country Club and the hills of north Thousand Oaks standing up beyond the tract. Listings here talk about jacaranda-lined streets and views over the fairways. It feels tucked away, because it is.

Tucked Behind the Golf Course in North Thousand Oaks
East Hill sits in the back of north Thousand Oaks, inside the larger Sunset Hills area and beside Sunset Hills Country Club, a private 18-hole course that opened in 1962 and was designed by Ted Robinson Sr. The club is the neighborhood's defining neighbor: some lots back straight onto it, and golf course and mountain views are the reason many owners chose this tract over the older homes around it.
The streets carry Spanish names, Via Verde, Via Bajada, Via Parque, Corte Cima, and many of them end in a cul-de-sac, which keeps the tract quiet. The HOA maintains a network of walking paths and paseos between the homes, so you can loop the neighborhood on foot without walking in the road.
Turnover here is thin. Only a handful of homes change hands in a typical year, which tells you most of what you need to know about how people feel once they have moved in. Its sister tract, West Hill, sits next door and reads much the same way.
The Homes: Bigger 1980 Plans on Real Lots
The houses date to about 1980, with a mix of single-story and two-story plans in a Mediterranean style: light stucco, red and brown tile roofs, and three-car garages on many homes. Plans run three to five bedrooms and roughly 1,820 to 3,200 square feet, with much of the tract landing between about 2,300 and 2,900. A few of the larger plans have soaring ceilings and views from nearly every room.
Lots are a real draw. They start around 8,000 square feet and run up to roughly half an acre, which is why pool homes and large backyards turn up here. That combination of size and lot is what sets East Hill apart from the 1960s homes in the surrounding Sunset Hills area, which are generally smaller.
At about 45 years old, expect the usual questions on original systems. Several homes have already had dual-pane window and systems retrofits, and the ones that have not will show it in price.
What Homes Cost and What the HOA Does
Recent sales have run about $1.16M to $1.5M in 2024, roughly $1.19M to $1.35M in 2025, and about $1.25M to $1.78M in the year through fall 2026. A clean, updated home with a golf course or view lot sits at the top of that band; an original-condition interior lot sits near the bottom. You can compare that against the broader market in our Thousand Oaks home values guide.
HOA dues are about $180 per month, and the association's job is modest and specific: it maintains the walking paths and paseos. There is no gate, and dues reflect a light scope of service. Membership at the country club next door is separate, and the course is reserved for members and guests.
Schools: Weathersfield, Los Cerritos, Thousand Oaks High
East Hill is in Conejo Valley Unified, and the assigned path is Weathersfield Elementary, then Los Cerritos Middle, then Thousand Oaks High.
Weathersfield is a K through 5 school of about 430 students on Darlington Drive. It carries a 9 out of 10 from GreatSchools, an A grade and a top-ten Ventura County ranking from Niche, and it consistently lands in the top 15 to 20 percent of California elementary schools, with regular attendance well above the district and state averages. For many families it is the reason they shop this part of north Thousand Oaks.
Confirm assignment for any specific address with the district before you write an offer, and remember that CVUSD offers open enrollment, so a boundary is a starting point, not a lock.
Who East Hill Suits, and What to Check Before You Buy
East Hill fits buyers who want a bigger, newer house than most of Sunset Hills offers, on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a lot large enough for a pool and a view of fairways or hills. It is a fit for families drawn to Weathersfield, for golfers who want to live beside the course, and for anyone who prefers a low-key HOA to a gated, amenity-heavy one. If a gate matters to you, this is not that neighborhood, and it is worth comparing nearby tracts such as Fountainwood.
- Golf course adjacency varies by lot. Views are marketed tract-wide, but only some homes back the course. Walk the yard, look for netting and cart paths, and ask about early mowing and errant balls.
- Wind. Golfers describe the course next door as a windy one. Worth keeping in mind if you are buying for outdoor living.
- Two names, one tract. You will see it written as both East Hill and East Hills. Search both, or you will miss comps.
- Do not price it as Sunset Hills. These homes often get folded into the larger, older Sunset Hills pool, which will understate value here.
- Few comps. With two to six sales a year, be ready to wait for a specific plan or a golf-backing lot.
- Age of systems and insurance. Budget inspections for a 1980 home, and get a homeowners insurance quote early, as we advise on any hillside tract near open space.

Do East Hill homes back the Sunset Hills golf course?
Some do, not all. The tract sits beside Sunset Hills Country Club and golf course and mountain views are a major draw, but only a portion of the lots back directly onto the course. Check each property individually.
Is East Hill the same as Sunset Hills?
East Hill is a smaller tract of about 130 homes from around 1980 inside the larger Sunset Hills area. The surrounding Sunset Hills homes mostly date to the 1960s and are generally smaller, so East Hill homes tend to be bigger, newer and priced higher.
How big are the lots in East Hill?
Lots run from about 8,000 square feet up to roughly half an acre. That is larger than most of the surrounding 1960s Sunset Hills housing stock, and it is part of why pool homes, big backyards and three-car garages turn up often in this neighborhood.
