Living in Wildwood Thousand Oaks: Prices, Schools and Parks

Wildwood is one of the more practical answers for families shopping in Thousand Oaks. Wildwood Thousand Oaks homes had a median list price of $1.199 million as of Q1 2026, the neighborhood elementary school carries a 9/10 GreatSchools rating, and the neighborhood has direct access to Wildwood Regional Park. That mix of relative affordability, strong schools, and open space is what separates it from pricier options like North Ranch and Lake Sherwood.

What are Home Prices Like in Wildwood Thousand Oaks in 2026?

The median list price in Wildwood was $1.199 million as of Q1 2026, according to market data, with an average of $545.75 per square foot. Those figures mean the most next to the comparable neighborhoods in the table below.

Average days on market was 50 as of Q1 2026, so homes move at a steady pace rather than a frenzied one. For context, Thousand Oaks as a whole showed a median of $1.0 million and 61 days on market over the same period. Wildwood runs roughly 20% above the citywide median, and the park access and school boundary are the most likely reasons buyers pay that premium.

Pricing runs from roughly $750,000 to $1.5 million and beyond, depending on home age, lot size, and proximity to the park. That spread gives move-up buyers an entry point and gives larger households room to find more house.

Why is Wildwood Elementary School Rated So Highly in 2026?

Wildwood Elementary School maintains a 9/10 GreatSchools Rating and receives an A grade from Niche, according to GreatSchools data, placing it among the top-performing schools in California. Behind the rating, 77% of students test proficient in math and 82% in reading, well above state averages.

Wildwood Elementary ranks ahead of 91.3% of California elementary schools and 4th among the 17 ranked elementary schools in the Conejo Valley Unified School District. The district itself averages a 9/10 testing ranking, sits in the top 20% of California public schools, and posts 54% math proficiency against the state's 34%.

Parents also point to the community itself: family events through the year, performances, and holiday gatherings in a quiet neighborhood. Many families walk or bike to school from the surrounding streets, which is a real quality of life difference at drop-off and pick-up.

Students from Wildwood Elementary typically feed into Redwood Middle School and Thousand Oaks High School, so the path through CVUSD is predictable. If you are weighing Wildwood Elementary homes for sale, confirm the current attendance boundary for any specific address with the district before you commit, since boundaries can change.

What Makes Wildwood Regional Park Special for Families?

Wildwood Regional Park is the other reason families land here. The park spans the western Simi Hills and Conejo Valley, reaching into western Thousand Oaks, northern Newbury Park, and southern Moorpark, with more than 27 miles of trails.

The park covers 1,765 acres and connects to another 1,400 acres of adjacent open space, so it rarely feels crowded. Activities include hiking, mountain biking, jogging, horseback riding, picnicking, educational tours, interpretive programs, camping, and wildlife viewing.

The most popular routes are the 2.5-mile Mesa Trail Loop, 3-mile Lizard Rock Trail, 3-mile Paradise Falls Trail, and 4-mile Wildwood Park Loop. Paradise Falls, a 70-foot cascade, is the headline destination and a manageable outing with kids.

There is an educational side as well: nature hikes, summer day camps, interpretive programs, and Trails Education Days, an annual program the Conejo Open Space Foundation runs for 4th graders in Conejo Valley public schools.

The nearby Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, with 33 acres of specialty gardens and trails, is a good second option.

A few rules worth knowing: trails are open sunrise to sunset, visitors must stay on designated "agency signed" trails, and dogs need a leash no longer than six feet. For more on how the park shapes day to day life here, see our guide to trails, schools, and the outdoor lifestyle.

How Does Wildwood Compare to Other Thousand Oaks Neighborhoods in Price and Value?

North Ranch posted a median sold price of $3.4M and Westlake Village a median sale price of $2.14M as of Q1 2026, against Wildwood's $1.199M median list price. Those are not identical measures (sold versus list), but the gap is wide enough that the point holds: much of the same lifestyle at a far lower entry price.

Wildwood families share the same open space system and the same school district as those higher-priced neighborhoods. Citywide, Thousand Oaks is reported to be safer than 94% of California cities and 80% of US cities, with a crime rate about 50% below the national average.

At the zip code level, 91362, which includes parts of the Wildwood area, carries an A+ crime safety grade and an overall crime index of 54, about 46% below the national average. Those figures are in line with much more expensive neighborhoods.

The neighborhood skews toward families with younger kids, drawn by the park and the elementary school, and that shows in the day to day feel of the streets.

For buyers weighing alternatives, Wildwood is a sensible middle ground. You come in below Lake Sherwood and the Lang Ranch neighborhoods while keeping most of what makes the Conejo Valley attractive, and the range of housing stock means most budgets in the $750,000 to $1.5 million band have something to look at.
