Kelly Park is a tight loop of 168 late 1970s homes on Irish named lanes east of Kelly Road, where a roughly $100 a month association keeps up a pool, spa, basketball court and play area that the whole tract shares. It suits first time buyers, young families and downsizers who want a detached house, a single story option and Banyan Elementary without paying for a big yard. Homes have sold for about $699K to $1.09M from 2023 to 2026, with most closing near $820K.
Turn off Kelly Road onto Tipperary Lane and the scale changes immediately. The houses sit close, the streets curve into cul de sacs like Shamrock Court and O'Leary Court, and on a warm afternoon the sound carries from the community pool. It is the kind of Newbury Park pocket where neighbors know whose kids are at the basketball court, and where a flat 1,900 square foot single story can still be had for well under a million.

Life on the Irish Lanes
Kelly Park fills a compact wedge east of Kelly Road between Lynn Road and Newbury Road, and almost every street name is a nod to Ireland: Tipperary, Galway, Donegal, Shamrock, O'Leary. The layout is a handful of short lanes feeding into cul de sacs, so there is very little through traffic once you are inside.
Because the lots are small, life spills into the shared spaces. The association pool and spa are the summer gathering point, the basketball court gets steady use after school, and the play area sits close enough that parents can keep an eye on it from the sidewalk. It reads as a neighborhood of young families and downsizers rather than an estate area, and that is exactly its appeal. You get a detached house with a yard you can maintain in an hour and amenities you would otherwise need a much larger budget to own.
Everything else is close. The Oaks mall and the 101 are minutes away, which is why listings for this tract lean on the convenience of the location.
The Homes: One and Two Story Plans From 1977 and 1979
The tract went up in two phases, 50 homes in 1977 and 118 in 1979, and the plans still follow that late 1970s logic: attached two car garages on at least some plans, modest footprints, and a mix of single story and two story designs. The smallest are 2 bedroom plans around 1,321 square feet. At the other end are 4 bedroom plans near 2,000 square feet, including single stories on flat lots, which draw both families and downsizers who want to skip stairs.
Most lots run about 3,900 square feet, which is small for the Conejo Valley. Side setbacks are tight and backyards are patio sized. Perimeter lots, particularly along Donegal Avenue, can reach roughly 7,400 square feet.
After nearly fifty years, condition varies house to house. Resales that have had newer tile roofs, dual pane windows, updated HVAC and in some cases paid off solar sit at the top of the range.
Fifteen homes changed hands from 2023 to 2026, from about $699K for a 2 bedroom to about $1.09M at the top, with the median near $820K. You can see where that sits in our Newbury Park home values overview.
What Roughly $100 a Month Buys You
The Kelly Park Homeowners Association, managed by Gold Coast Association Management, collects about $85 to $107 a month. For that you get the pool, spa, basketball court, play area and the common area landscaping around them. It is a low dues level for a Conejo Valley community with a pool.
These are detached homes with individual ownership of the structure, so plan to confirm what is and is not covered for roofs, paint and front yards. Before you write an offer, ask the manager at (805) 499-7800 for the CC&Rs, rules, budget, reserve study and a year of minutes. You want to know the rental and lease term rules, parking and RV policy, paint and architectural review, and pool hours in writing.
One detail that matters on the edges: the older 1965 homes fronting Kelly Road and Jerome Avenue belong to earlier tracts and are not part of the association. If pool access matters, confirm the home is inside Kelly Park on the preliminary title report.
Banyan, Sequoia and Newbury Park High
Kelly Park is assigned to Banyan Elementary on Knollwood Drive, a K through 5 school of about 415 students that scores well on every public measure: 8 out of 10 on GreatSchools, an A grade and a top ten Ventura County ranking on Niche, and a number 5 ranking among Conejo Valley Unified elementaries on U.S. News with about 67 percent of students at or above proficiency. For many buyers Banyan is the reason to shop this pocket.
Middle and high school follow the standard Newbury Park path: Sequoia Middle and Newbury Park High. Boundaries can shift and homes on the Kelly Road and Jerome Avenue edges should be checked address by address with the district before you rely on an assignment.
Getting Around and What Is Nearby
Kelly Road is the spine. It connects Lynn Road and Newbury Road, and from either you are on the 101 in a few minutes. The Oaks mall is minutes away as well.
The streets are public and there is no gate. Do not confuse Kelly Park with Kepoa Estates on West Kelly Road across the street, which is gated, built in 2005 and sits on one acre lots. They share a road name and nothing else.
Homes that front Kelly Road, Jerome Avenue or Heather Ridge Avenue may carry some road noise from the connector traffic. Interior lanes and the cul de sacs are set back from it. Walk the street at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. before you decide, especially on a perimeter lot.
Who Kelly Park Suits, and What to Check Before You Buy
Kelly Park works for buyers who want a detached house with Banyan Elementary, a pool they do not have to maintain, and a price at the more accessible end of the Conejo Valley. It is a strong fit for first time buyers, for downsizers who want a single story, and for anyone who values a quick connection to the 101 over a large yard.
It is a poor fit if you need room for an RV or boat, a big backyard for a pool of your own, or a view lot. Views here are occasional hillside glimpses on a few lots, not a feature of the tract.
Before you close:
- Order a full inspection and sewer scope. Homes from 1977 to 1979 can carry original plumbing, wiring and sewer laterals under newer finishes.
- Confirm the property type. A few of these homes have been marketed as townhouses over the years even though the tract is detached single family. Verify the legal description and insure accordingly.
- Check the tax bill and insurance. A tract this age predates the 1982 Mello-Roos Act and is unlikely to carry a community facilities district assessment, but confirm it on the tax bill, and get a fire insurance quote early as you would anywhere in the Conejo Valley.
If you like the price point but want a bigger lot or no HOA, compare Rosewood, Shadow Run and Conejo Heights, all nearby and all a little different in feel. Our full index of Newbury Park neighborhoods lays them side by side.
