Virazon is a gated enclave of 98 large homes on the south edge of Dos Vientos, where the neighborhood gives way to open space rather than more rooftops. It suits families who want a big house, a K-8 school in the neighborhood and 41 miles of trails nearby, and who are fine being at the far end of Thousand Oaks. Homes run 4 to 6 bedrooms and 3,062 to 4,596 square feet, and sold for about $1.62M to $2.52M in the three years through 2026, with most trading near $1.9M.
Drive to the south end of Dos Vientos, past the community park and the Village shops, and the road quiets down until you reach the gate. Inside, the streets are named Via Don Luis, Via San Jose, Via Rafael and Via Adorna, the lots are wide, and south of you are the Santa Monica Mountains and the trails into Rancho Sierra Vista. That is Virazon: the edge of town, with Sycamore Canyon School back up the hill inside Dos Vientos.

Life at the Bottom of the Hill
Virazon sits on the south side of Dos Vientos, directly below Estancia, at the point where the tract meets undeveloped hillside. The neighborhood sits beside Dos Vientos Open Space, more than 1,200 acres of oak woodland, sage scrub and ridgeline with over 41 miles of trail for hikers, riders and mountain bikes. The land was part of the Rancho Guadalasca grant of 1836, and the open space trail system has views out to the Pacific.
Daily life is organized around two things a short drive up Borchard Road. Dos Vientos Community Park, 28 acres and the largest park in the Conejo Recreation and Park District, has ball fields, tennis, basketball, sand volleyball and playgrounds, and youth sports run there almost nightly. The Village at Dos Vientos Ranch on Via Las Brisas handles the small errands, including the Village Trader Market and deli. It is convenience, not a dining destination; the nearest restaurant clusters beyond the Village are a couple of miles out.
At the south end of the development the Rancho Sierra Vista and Satwiwa entrance opens into Point Mugu State Park, with the Satwiwa Loop, Rancho Sierra Vista Loop, Upper Sycamore Canyon and the climb up Boney Mountain all within reach. If weekend mornings on dirt are part of how you live, this is one of the best-placed neighborhoods in Thousand Oaks for it.
The Homes Behind the Gate
Ninety-eight homes were built here between 1998 and 2001, with four to six bedrooms and roughly 3,000 to 4,600 square feet. Lots start around a quarter acre and the median is close to a third, which in this part of Dos Vientos means real yard rather than a postage stamp. A handful of lots record as several acres because they include steep slope above or below the house; the usable flat pad on those is much smaller than the number suggests, so walk the yard before you fall in love with the acreage.
Turnover is very low. Only about seven homes changed hands in the three years through 2026, roughly two a year, so when one comes to market it tends to draw serious buyers who have been waiting. Those sales ran from about $1.62M to $2.52M, with the median near $1.9M, which works out to roughly $430 to $600 per square foot depending on condition, lot and view. For how these numbers fit the wider city, see our Thousand Oaks home values page, and for a nearby gated comparison see Haciendas.
Schools: Sycamore Canyon and Newbury Park High
Virazon is zoned to Sycamore Canyon School, the K-8 campus on Via Rio inside Dos Vientos itself, so most kids here stay on one campus from kindergarten through eighth grade without leaving the development. Enrollment runs a little under 1,000 and it ranks among the top California elementary schools on the common rating sites.
High school is Newbury Park High, which has been International Baccalaureate authorized since 1996 and recently extended IB to all grade levels, making Conejo Valley Unified the first district in Ventura County with a full TK through 12 IB pathway. U.S. News places it second among the district's high schools, with about half of students taking AP courses. Elementary boundaries in Dos Vientos are split among more than one school, so we always confirm the exact assignment for a specific home before an offer.
Getting Around, and Being the Far End of Town
Everything in and out of Dos Vientos funnels through Borchard Road and Via Las Brisas toward the 101, and Virazon is one of the farthest points in Thousand Oaks from the freeway. The mailing address is Newbury Park, 91320, but you are inside the City of Thousand Oaks for services, police and permits. Big-box shopping such as Target and Home Depot is several miles east, and there is a closer-in center with a grocery store, pharmacy and coffee on the way.
The flip side of that distance is quiet. There is no through traffic, because Dos Vientos is a terminus with no route south over the mountains. For a comparison with the gated neighborhoods closer to the entrance of Dos Vientos, see La Entrada, or browse all Thousand Oaks neighborhoods.
Who Virazon Suits, and What to Know Before You Buy
This is a neighborhood for families who have outgrown a 2,500-square-foot house and want space, privacy and a gate, and for anyone whose idea of a good Saturday starts on a trail. It is not for someone who wants to walk to dinner or who commutes east on the 101 every day and resents every extra minute.
- The HOA is shared with Estancia. There is no separate Virazon association; dues seen on recent sales ran about $176 to $222 a month, call it about $190, paid to the same association that covers the neighborhood above. Order the documents to see exactly what the gates, streets and slope landscaping cover.
- Check the tax bill for special assessments. Dos Vientos was approved as a master plan in 1988, so we pull the full county tax bill on any home we write on rather than assume.
- Fire and insurance come first. The homes sit beside more than 1,200 acres of chaparral and sage scrub and Dos Vientos has a single way out, so get insurance quotes and the state fire hazard disclosure early, not during contingencies. We look up the specific hazard designation for the address.
- Comps are thin. With two or three sales a year, appraisals can land wide of the contract price. We price from the whole south side of Dos Vientos, searching by street rather than by neighborhood name, to get it right.
- Views are lot by lot. Some upper homes look over the grasslands and ridges; others look at the neighbor's slope. See the house at the time of day you will actually be home.
