Monte Rey and Concerto sit on the upper northern slope of Dos Vientos, where several streets finish in cul-de-sacs, the higher backyards look across the Santa Monica Mountains, and the community park is right below you. It suits established families who want close to 4,000 square feet, a real lot and a K-8 school inside the neighborhood, and who will trade freeway proximity for quiet. Recent sales ran about $1.66M to $2.20M, with master association dues around $104 to $120 a month and no gate.
On a weeknight in spring the lights come on at Dos Vientos Community Park and you can hear the game from the front porch on Via Santana. Hikers are coming back down from the open space with dusty dogs, someone on Via Pisa is still working in the garden, and nothing drives through because nothing needs to. This is the top of a dead end community, built that way on purpose, and the 158 homes up here are among the larger houses in it.

Above the park, below the ridge
This is the quiet upper edge of Dos Vientos, the master planned community at the far western end of Thousand Oaks. Via Santana, Via San Martin, Via Pisa and Via San Lucas climb the northern slope above Dos Vientos Community Park, and several of them end in cul-de-sacs. Out the front door you look down at the ballfields; from the higher lots out back you look across the Santa Monica Mountains and the grassy hillsides and chaparral of the open space.
Daily life runs on the park and the trails. Youth sports fill the fields almost nightly in season, the community center on Borchard Road runs a preschool and free lit pickleball and tennis courts, and the Dos Vientos Open Space is the main trail destination close at hand. Neighbors here describe themselves as walkers, gardeners, hikers and dog people, and the community has a reputation as one of the friendliest in Thousand Oaks. Across Dos Vientos about 87 percent of households own, so faces stay familiar for years.
The homes: big early 2000s floor plans on real lots
Monte Rey and Concerto were built together in 2002 to 2004 and they are the large format product of Dos Vientos. Recent sales have run four to six bedrooms and roughly 3,735 to 4,124 square feet, with the wider stock stretching from about 3,000 to 4,100. Lots start around 7,100 square feet, the typical one is a little over 10,000, and a handful of slope and view parcels run past 20,000, which is rare anywhere in Dos Vientos.
Recent prices ran about $1.66M to $2.20M, with the middle of the market near $1.86M. That is well above the Dos Vientos average, because the wider community includes much smaller homes; see our Thousand Oaks home values page for how this fits the city. Dues are modest, around $104 to $120 a month, paid to the Dos Vientos Ranch master association rather than a separate tract association, and there is no gate.
Avignon shares this same slope, and Gallery and Las Brisas are the Dos Vientos neighborhoods we are most often asked to compare against these streets.
Sycamore Canyon through eighth grade, then Newbury Park High
Addresses here are assigned to Sycamore Canyon School, a K-8 campus on Via Rio inside Dos Vientos Ranch, and then to Newbury Park High. One school covering kindergarten through eighth grade inside the neighborhood is a large part of why families stay put for a decade or more. Sycamore Canyon enrolls roughly 950 to 980 students, carries an A on Niche and a 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools, and ranks in the top tier of California elementary schools.
Boundaries can move and edge lots can surprise you, so confirm the assignment for any specific address with Conejo Valley Unified before you count on it.
Getting around, and what sits close by
Dos Vientos is the westernmost pocket of Thousand Oaks and the main way in and out is Borchard Road east to the 101 at Newbury Park. Drive it at 8 a.m. before you buy; the leg through the neighborhood is pleasant, but it is part of every commute. Addresses use the 91320 ZIP and show up as both Newbury Park and Thousand Oaks, so search both.
Close by: Dos Vientos Community Park directly below, the largest park in the Conejo Recreation and Park District, with sand volleyball, baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer fields and playgrounds. Del Prado Playfields and the community center round out the sports. Rancho Potrero Community Equestrian Center serves the horse crowd. The open space trails run through coastal sage scrub, oak woodland and chaparral. A small retail center inside Dos Vientos handles some day to day needs, with more shopping and dining outside the neighborhood.
Who it suits, and what to check before you write an offer
This is a move-up neighborhood for established families who want the square footage, the lot and the school in one place, and who value quiet and views over a short freeway run. Renters are rare and rents here run higher than in most California neighborhoods, so almost every house is owner occupied.
- Wildfire and insurance. The open space that makes the views is chaparral. Residents actively compare insurance carriers, so get a quote during your contingency period and read the natural hazard disclosure for the exact address.
- Tax bill line items. As with any early 2000s master planned community in California, read the property tax bill for special assessments before you commit.
- Association documents. Dues are low, but order the package to see what the master association covers and what the rules say about paint, fencing, parking and solar.
- Park nights. Lots nearest the park approach see evening activity in sports season. Visit on a weeknight.
- Neighborhood names. Monte Rey, Concerto and Avignon share this slope and listings get labeled inconsistently. Search by street, not by name, or you will miss comparable sales.

Questions people ask about Monte Rey and Concerto
Is Monte Rey and Concerto a gated community?
No. These streets are open to the rest of Dos Vientos, with no gate or guard. Privacy comes from the hillside position and the cul-de-sac layout rather than a barrier, and dues stay low partly for that reason, at about $104 to $120 a month.
How much do homes in Monte Rey and Concerto cost?
Recent sales ran about $1.66M to $2.20M, with the middle of the market near $1.86M. That buys roughly 3,700 to 4,100 square feet with four to six bedrooms on a lot that is usually a little over 10,000 square feet, and sometimes much larger.
What schools serve Monte Rey and Concerto?
Sycamore Canyon School, a highly rated K-8 campus inside Dos Vientos Ranch on Via Rio, and then Newbury Park High. Confirm the assignment for any specific address with Conejo Valley Unified, since boundaries can change and lots on the edge of a zone can be assigned differently.
What does the HOA cover and how much is it?
Dues run about $104 to $120 a month and go to the Dos Vientos Ranch master association; there is no separate association listed for these streets. Request the full document package in escrow to see exactly what is maintained and what the architectural rules require.
Is this Thousand Oaks or Newbury Park?
Both, in practice. The homes are inside the City of Thousand Oaks and use the 91320 ZIP, which is the Newbury Park mailing area. Listings appear under either name, so search both when you are looking for homes or comparable sales on these streets.
What should I know about wildfire risk here?
The neighborhood backs to undeveloped chaparral and coastal sage scrub, which is the view and the hazard at once. Insurance availability and cost are a real contingency, not a formality. Get a quote early, read the natural hazard disclosure, and ask neighbors which carriers they use.
