Vizcaya and Quintana sit on the western side of Dos Vientos, where the Via streets end near open hillside and the week runs through Sycamore Canyon School and the fields at Dos Vientos Community Park. The 185 homes date from 2000 to 2003, run about 2,700 to 4,000 square feet on lots near a quarter acre, carry master association dues of roughly $104 to $120 a month, and sit behind no gate. Recent sales ran about $1.25M to $2.1M, with the typical home trading near $1.77M.
Head west through Dos Vientos until the community starts to run out of streets, and you are in Vizcaya and Quintana. The Via streets bend toward the hills, the lots open up, and the land next door is coastal sage, grass and oak rather than another roofline. It is the part of Newbury Park where neighbors talk about trails, gardens and fire readiness in the same breath, where the preschool, the courts and the ballfields are all close by, and where the evening sound is a youth game at the park, not the freeway.

Where Dos Vientos meets the Santa Monica Mountains
Dos Vientos takes its name from the two winds that keep the climate mild year round, and nowhere do you feel it more than on this western side. The neighborhood borders Dos Vientos Open Space, undeveloped land of coastal sage scrub, grassy hillsides, oak woodland and chaparral that runs into the Santa Monica Mountains. Trails thread through the community and out into that open country, which is why hiking, walking and dogs are such a big part of daily life here.
The social center is Dos Vientos Community Park, the largest park in the Conejo Recreation and Park District, with baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, sand volleyball and playgrounds. Youth sports run there almost nightly, and the adjoining community center on Borchard Road hosts a preschool, sports programs and free lit courts used for tennis and pickleball. Del Prado Playfields adds a second set of fields and playgrounds. Neighbors here skew toward home improvement, gardening and trail time, and a noticeable number organize around emergency preparedness, a sensible habit for a neighborhood that sits beside wildland.
For the bigger picture of the community, including the other tracts, see our Dos Vientos neighborhood guide.
The homes on Via Dolores, Via Capote and Via Jacinto
Vizcaya and Quintana are two plan series from the same era, and they sit side by side on the same streets, so the neighborhood reads as one. The homes are executive scale for Dos Vientos: tall entries, four and five bedroom layouts, and on the larger plans the kind of features buyers at this price expect, such as a private gated courtyard entry with a fountain, custom iron double entry doors and a detached studio off the entry that works as a home office or guest room.
Lot size is the real variable. Most homes sit on something close to a quarter acre, but a handful of lots run far larger, up to roughly three quarters of an acre. Two homes with the same floor plan can be very different properties depending on the lot and what it looks out on, so judge each parcel on its own.
Because there is no separate tract association, owners pay only the Dos Vientos Ranch West master dues, which is why the monthly number is low for a home in this range. The master association, not a small tract board, sets the rules.
If you are weighing this pocket against the rest of Dos Vientos, the closest comparisons are the homes in Gallery, Palermo and Villa Encanto.
One campus from kindergarten through eighth grade
Sycamore Canyon School is a Conejo Valley Unified K-8 campus in Dos Vientos, with roughly 960 students and a student to teacher ratio near 19.5 to 1. It carries an A rating on Niche and a 10 out of 10 on GreatSchools, and the campus displays the California Distinguished School emblem. For families the structure is the draw: one school, one community of parents, from kindergarten until high school.
High school is Newbury Park High. School boundaries can change and edge parcels can fall differently, so confirm the specific address with the district before you count on it.
Getting around from the western edge of Newbury Park
Borchard Road is the spine road serving this side of Dos Vientos. This is the far western end of Newbury Park, against the mountains, so the trade is a few extra minutes of driving in exchange for the open space setting and the quiet. Measure the drive to the 101 and to your own workplace before you commit, since the numbers vary by time of day.
There is shopping and dining both inside and just outside the community, with the rest of Newbury Park's retail farther east. Weekends tend to point the other direction, toward the trails that leave the neighborhood for the open space and the mountains beyond.
What to know before you buy here
- Inventory is thin. Roughly six homes a year change hands out of 185, so a specific plan on a specific type of lot may not appear for a long stretch. When the right one lists, be ready.
- Compare by street, not by label. Vizcaya and Quintana homes interleave on the same blocks, and some sell under a generic Dos Vientos or Newbury Park name. An agent or appraiser who sorts by name alone will miss half the relevant sales.
- Verify the lot. With lots from about 6,700 to nearly 33,000 square feet in one neighborhood, the parcel matters as much as the house. Walk the yard, check the slope and confirm what sits behind the fence.
- Open space means fire planning. The neighborhood sits beside undeveloped chaparral. Pull the fire hazard designation for the property, read the natural hazard disclosure, and get an insurance quote before you remove contingencies, not after.
- Read the master documents. Ask for the Dos Vientos Ranch West CC&Rs, rules and reserve study. There is no tract level association, so do not let anyone hand you one.
- Check the tax bill. Dos Vientos is a master planned community from the era when special assessments were common. Review the line items on the Ventura County tax bill for the specific home rather than assuming either way.
- Walk it at 6 pm. Homes close to the community park or along Borchard will feel the evening sports and the community traffic. The interior Via streets are the quiet ones.
Who Vizcaya and Quintana suit
This is a neighborhood for families and active empty nesters who want a large, newer home at the edge of open country, who value a K-8 campus inside the community, and who would rather trade a few minutes of driving for hills, trails and quiet. It fits buyers who want the Dos Vientos lifestyle at a modest monthly carrying cost, and who are comfortable living next to wildland and planning accordingly.
It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs the shortest possible drive to the 101, who wants a gate, or who wants the smallest possible yard to maintain.

Questions people ask about Vizcaya and Quintana
Is Vizcaya and Quintana in Dos Vientos gated?
No. The neighborhood has open streets with no community gate. Some individual homes have a private gated courtyard at the front door, which is a house feature rather than a neighborhood gate. If a gate is essential to you, confirm the status of any specific community in writing rather than relying on a listing.
What do homes in Vizcaya and Quintana cost?
Recent sales ran about $1.25M to $2.1M, with the typical home trading near $1.77M. Price depends heavily on the lot, since parcels here range from under a quarter acre to roughly three quarters of an acre on the same streets.
What are the HOA dues and what association runs the neighborhood?
Dues run about $104 to $120 per month and go to the Dos Vientos Ranch West Community Association, the master association for this side of Dos Vientos. There is no separate tract association, so the master sets the rules and holds the reserves.
Which schools serve Vizcaya and Quintana?
Sycamore Canyon School, a highly rated Conejo Valley Unified K-8 campus in Dos Vientos, serves elementary and middle grades, and Newbury Park High serves grades 9 through 12. Confirm the exact address with the district, since boundaries can shift.
How often do homes come up for sale here?
Not often. Roughly six homes a year sell out of about 185, so a specific floor plan or a large lot can take a long time to reappear. Buyers who know exactly what they want should be prepared to move quickly when one lists.
What is the biggest thing to check before buying in this part of Dos Vientos?
The open space beside the neighborhood. Homes sit near undeveloped chaparral and sage scrub, so review the fire hazard designation for the property, read the natural hazard disclosure, and get a homeowners insurance quote before removing contingencies. Then verify the lot size and the tax bill line items for the specific home.
