Heritage is a small, quiet pocket of 89 family homes at the western edge of Dos Vientos, where the streets end at open hillsides and kids walk to a K-8 school inside the community. It suits buyers who want a 4 or 5 bedroom house with a downstairs bedroom, a community pool, and a planned-neighborhood feel without paying estate prices. Recent sales have run from about $1.02M to $1.40M, with a median around $1.29M.
The thing you notice first on Camino de las Estrellas is how far you are from everything that makes noise. Dos Vientos is a valley with the Santa Monica Mountains on one side and sage-scrub open space on the other, and Heritage sits deep inside it. Mornings here are hikers heading for the trails, dog walkers, and a short stroll to Sycamore Canyon School. Evenings are the pool and clubhouse the neighborhood shares with Harvest Moon next door. Locals call Dos Vientos "the bubble," and Heritage is one of its most livable, least showy corners.

Life at the quiet end of Dos Vientos
Dos Vientos was approved in 1988 as a 2,350-home master plan, the largest residential project Newbury Park has ever seen, and it still feels like a self-contained town. Residents describe it as peaceful, walkable and outdoor-minded, with hiking, gardening, dogs and volunteering at the top of the list of what people do here. Heritage is one of the older, smaller tracts inside that plan, and it reads as settled rather than new.
The daily rhythm is built around a few places. Dos Vientos Park is the hub, with ball fields, basketball and tennis courts, a playground and a community center that runs classes during the week. Dos Vientos Open Space wraps the community with coastal sage scrub, oak woodland and grassy hillsides, and the Rancho Potrero equestrian center is nearby. For the full picture of the community, start with our Dos Vientos neighborhood guide.
Shopping is deliberately light. The Village at Dos Vientos is about a ten-minute walk from the Heritage streets, and Newbury Park Plaza covers Albertsons, CVS and Starbucks. Most restaurant variety is east in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, a straight run down the 101.
The homes: a half step up from Harvest Moon
Heritage and Harvest Moon were built together between 1998 and 2000 under one association, and they share the pool and clubhouse. The difference is size. Heritage plans run roughly 1,900 to 2,600 square feet, a bit larger than Harvest Moon, with 3 to 5 bedrooms. The largest plan is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath layout at about 2,615 square feet, and a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath plan with an office shows up as well.
Features seen on these streets include cathedral or vaulted ceilings, a downstairs bedroom and full bath that works as a guest suite or office, and block-fenced backyards. Lots are compact, so yards are patio-and-spa scale rather than play-field scale. The park and the pool do that work instead.
Pricing has held in a tight band. Recent sales ran from about $1.02M to $1.40M, with the big 5 bedroom plan selling in the $1.24M to $1.36M range and a median around $1.29M. That puts Heritage at the entry-to-mid tier of Dos Vientos, well below the estate neighborhoods and above the townhomes. For context across the city, see our Thousand Oaks home values page.
Schools: a K-8 inside the neighborhood
Heritage is served by Sycamore Canyon School, a K-8 campus physically inside Dos Vientos with about 977 students. It is ranked in the top 10 percent of California public schools, holds a 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools and an A on Niche, and posts math and reading proficiency around 75 percent. Having elementary and middle school on one campus a short walk away is a large part of why families stay in this community through the school years.
High school is Newbury Park High, about a mile and a half from Sycamore Canyon on Reino Road. It opened in 1967, enrolls roughly 2,080 students and competes in the Marmonte League. School boundaries do shift over time, so confirm any specific address with the district before you write an offer.
Getting around, and the trade-offs of a valley
This is a car neighborhood. The 101 is the main artery to Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and points east, and Bob Hope Airport is about 42 miles. There is no practical transit. Because Dos Vientos is a valley with limited ways out, we tell buyers to drive the morning exit toward the freeway once before they fall in love with a house.
The payoff for that isolation is the setting. No freeway adjacency, no through traffic, and trails that start where the streets end. Dos Vientos means "two winds," and the community sits in a mountain gap, so breezy afternoons and Santa Ana exposure are part of the deal.
Who Heritage suits, and what to check before buying
Heritage fits families who want a 4 or 5 bedroom house with a downstairs suite in a top school zone at a price point that is still attainable in Dos Vientos, and buyers who would rather have a community pool and a park than a large private yard. It is also a strong fit for people who want to hike or ride from the front door. Compare it with Traditions and Treasures if you are weighing the other mid-tier tracts in the community.
- Wildfire. Dos Vientos homes were evacuated in 2013 and again in 2018, and the neighborhood backs to chaparral and sage scrub. Fire insurance availability and cost belong in your first conversation with a lender, not your last.
- HOA details. Dues have run about $205 per month on recent sales, but individual figures have varied. Order the association package from Community Property Management and read the budget, reserves and rules on rentals, parking and exterior changes.
- Gate. Harvest Moon is generally described as one of the gated Dos Vientos neighborhoods. Whether the Heritage streets sit behind that same gate is something we confirm on a drive-through, not from listing copy.
- Tax bill. Pull the county tax bill for the specific property and look at every line item before you finalize your monthly budget.
- Address labels. These homes are marketed as both Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park, all in 91320. When you research comps, search by street name so you do not miss half the sales.
We sell throughout Dos Vientos and the surrounding Newbury Park neighborhoods, and we are happy to walk Heritage with you alongside the alternatives. See all of our Thousand Oaks neighborhood guides.
