Sedona is the quiet, gated estate pocket at the western edge of Dos Vientos Ranch, 88 large homes on a handful of Via streets where the backyards stop at Santa Monica Mountains open space and the evening air carries the two winds the ranch is named for. It suits families who want big rooms, a top rated K-8 school inside the neighborhood and trails close by, and who are happy being at the far western edge of Thousand Oaks. Homes run about 3,900 to 6,000 square feet and recent sales have fallen between about $2.63M and $3.20M.
Drive west through Dos Vientos until the houses thin out and the hills take over, and the last gate you reach is Sedona. Past it, the streets are short and quiet, the lots are a quarter to half an acre, and the view out the back is 1,216 acres of protected open space with more than 41 miles of trail. It is the kind of place where a weekday evening means a walk toward the hills behind the house, coyotes calling from the canyon, and the valley going quiet below.

Life at the far end of the ranch
Dos Vientos was approved by the city in April 1988 as a master planned community of about 2,350 homes stepping up the hills at the western edge of Newbury Park. Sedona is where that plan runs out of room. Beyond it the land belongs to the Dos Vientos Open Space, 1,216 acres managed with the Conejo Open Space Foundation and threaded with hiking, cycling and equestrian trails. The open space is a documented wildlife movement corridor, which is why deer on the slope are an ordinary sight here.
The name Dos Vientos refers to the two winds that move through this pocket, and the area is known for a mild year round climate because of that airflow. The neighborhood feel is suburban, family oriented and genuinely quiet. Inside Sedona the streets are short and residential, so traffic is residents and their guests. If you want the wider picture, our Dos Vientos neighborhood guide covers the whole ranch.
The homes: estate scale, newer than most of Thousand Oaks
Sedona homes were built between 2009 and 2014, which makes them some of the newer construction in the Conejo Valley at this size. Many are two story plans in the range of 5,500 to 6,000 square feet, with bonus rooms, dedicated offices and three car garages. A smaller number of single story plans around 3,900 square feet exist too, and they are rare enough at this scale that they draw strong interest when they come up.
Lots run from about a quarter acre to nearly half an acre. The premium lots back directly to the mountains, with no neighbor behind, and those homes have always commanded more within the neighborhood.
Recent closed sales have run about $2.63M to $3.20M. That puts Sedona at the very top of Dos Vientos, where the wider neighborhood median sits closer to $1.2M to $1.3M. Its natural comparison is Dos Vientos Estates at La Serena; buyers who want the Dos Vientos lifestyle at a lower price point usually look at Vizcaya and Quintana or Palermo. For how this fits the broader market, see our Thousand Oaks home values page.
Schools: one campus from kindergarten through eighth grade
Sedona is served by Sycamore Canyon School on Via Rio, inside Dos Vientos itself. It is a K-8 campus of about 950 students, which is unusual in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, where most children change schools after fifth grade. Families here get one school community for nine years, close to home.
Sycamore Canyon holds a California Distinguished School designation, a 10 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and an A grade on Niche, which ranks it among the top 25 public K-8 schools in California. About three quarters of students test at or above proficient in both math and reading. High school is Newbury Park High. Attendance boundaries are set by the district and can differ elsewhere in Dos Vientos, so confirm the assignment for any specific address before you write an offer.
Trails, errands and getting out
The trailheads are the main amenity. Sedona sits against the Dos Vientos Open Space trail system, and the Rancho Potrero Community Equestrian Center is a public horse facility serving the area. The riding, hiking and cycling routes here reach into the Santa Monica Mountains.
Daily errands happen at The Village at Dos Vientos Ranch on Via Las Brisas, a 50,000 square foot center whose tenants have included a coffeehouse and creamery, a sushi spot, The Local Table, a market and deli, a dry cleaner, a dentist and a fitness studio. A full service grocery run means Newbury Park Plaza, home to Albertsons.
Be honest with yourself about location. Sedona is in the westernmost pocket of the city, and errands beyond the Village mean getting in the car. Residents trade that for quiet, space and the open space edge, and most of them consider it a good trade.
Who Sedona suits, and what to check before buying
Sedona fits families who want a large, relatively new home with room for a home office and visiting relatives, a single K-8 school inside the neighborhood, and a gate between the street and the rest of the world. It also suits buyers who hike or ride and want the trail system at the edge of the neighborhood. It is not the place for someone who wants to walk to dinner or who prefers an older home with mature trees and established character.
- Two associations. Sedona has its own maintenance association, and it sits inside the larger Dos Vientos Ranch West Community Association. Reported dues of about $266 to $447 a month cover both layers, so order both sets of documents and budgets in escrow and confirm exactly what each one covers.
- Open space edge. Backing the mountains means brush clearance obligations on slopes and the need to get a homeowners insurance quote early in escrow rather than at the end. We treat insurance as a contingency item on every home that borders open space.
- Tax bill line items. Dos Vientos was approved in 1988, and master planned communities of that era often carry special assessments. Read the county tax bill for the specific property rather than assuming.
- Leasing happens here. Sedona homes do appear on the lease market, which matters for buyers who may relocate and keep the house. Confirm any rental rules in the governing documents.
