Windrose Pointe is a quiet pocket of 67 two-story townhomes on Amberton Lane and Windrose Drive, tucked off South Ventu Park Road just south of the 101 in Newbury Park. Every home has three bedrooms, an attached two-car garage and 1,532 to 1,671 square feet, with a community pool and spa shared by the neighbors. It fits first-time buyers, downsizers and commuters who want a real house layout inside the Newbury Park High boundary, and homes have sold for about $684K to $765K in recent years.
Turn off South Ventu Park Road and you reach two short streets of stucco townhomes, a few of them backing to greenbelt, a few ending in cul-de-sacs where nobody passes through on the way to somewhere else. Mornings here mean a short drive to the Ralphs center and the Ventu Park on-ramp, evenings mean the pool and spa a short walk from your front door. It is a modest, well kept, lived-in kind of place, and for a lot of buyers it is an affordable way into the Newbury Park school zone with a garage and three bedrooms.

The feel: small, quiet and close to everything that matters
Windrose Pointe sits on roughly 11 acres and only two streets, so there is no through traffic and most neighbors recognize each other. Several end units sit at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac or face a greenbelt, and those positions are the ones listings tend to feature. The community is not gated, and it does not need to be. It reads as a settled townhome neighborhood rather than a complex.
What you give up is walkability. Groceries, coffee and school runs are all a short drive, and the 101 is close enough that you may hear it from some units at rush hour. Walk the specific home you are considering at 5 p.m. before you decide. That is a trade many buyers happily make for the location, which puts you close to the Ventu Park interchange and the rest of Newbury Park's neighborhoods.
The homes: one era, one plan family, a few meaningful differences
All 67 homes date to 1990 and all have three bedrooms upstairs, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and two secondary bedrooms. Plans run 1,532 to 1,671 square feet with 2.5 or 3 baths, an attached two-car garage and an interior laundry room. The lots are essentially the footprint of the building plus a patio, so there is no yard work to speak of.
Inside, resale listings highlight the upgrades that matter in a 1990 townhome: vaulted ceilings, dual-pane windows, plantation shutters, skylights and a roman tub in the primary bath. Condition varies unit by unit. Views are not uniform either. Some Amberton Lane units are marketed on their views, others face greenbelt, and at least one unit's records list no view at all, so judge each home on its own position.
Prices have run about $684K to $765K in recent sales, generally below what a detached home in a neighborhood like Lynn Oaks or Oakmount will cost you. Values here peaked in 2022 and have settled into the high $600s to mid $700s, with at least one 2025 seller taking a price cut before closing. You can see how that compares across the area on our Newbury Park home values page.
HOA dues and what the association covers
Dues are the number to study. Recent buyers have paid about $667 per month in 2024 rising to about $745 per month in 2026, and the equivalent figure was under $500 a month as recently as 2022. That is a steep climb for a 67-unit community, and at this size a single roof or paint cycle moves the number.
The association is managed by Community Property Management and is registered under its older name, Ramona Townhomes, on city paperwork. Do not let that confuse you. The community pool and spa are association amenities, but exactly what else the dues cover is something to confirm in writing. We would ask for the last three budgets, the reserve study and any pending special assessment before writing an offer, and also confirm rental caps, pet and parking rules, and whether an EV charger is allowed in the garage.
Schools: Madrona, a middle school choice, and Newbury Park High
Windrose Pointe is assigned to Madrona Academy of the Arts and Sciences, a K-5 campus of about 245 students with a gifted program and an arts and science emphasis, rated 8 out of 10 on GreatSchools. For middle school the neighborhood sits in a Conejo Valley Unified option area, so families choose between Redwood Middle and Sequoia Middle rather than being assigned to one.
High school is Newbury Park High on North Reino Road, about 2,000 students, an A grade on Niche and a 9 out of 10 on GreatSchools. Boundaries and option area rules change, so confirm the current year with the district before you rely on any of this.
Getting around and what is nearby
The 101 on and off ramps at Ventu Park Road are a short drive from the neighborhood, which makes freeway commuting about as easy as Newbury Park gets. The Ralphs center and a small strip center sit at the northwest corner of the interchange, and a hotel and more retail share the same corner.
Listings for these townhomes consistently point to hiking, shopping, parks and dining nearby. If you want a similar townhome lifestyle in another Newbury Park pocket, compare Lynn Meadows.
Who it suits and what to know before buying
Windrose Pointe works best for buyers who want three real bedrooms, a two-car garage and the Newbury Park High boundary without a detached home budget. Downsizers like the lock and leave setup. Commuters like the freeway access. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants a yard, needs quiet from the 101 or is dues-sensitive.
- Name traps. Windrose Court is part of Crystal View Estates, a 1999 single-family tract with three-car garages, larger lots and prices well above this community. There is also a Windrose Pointe in Oxnard. Make sure appraisals, insurance and comps reference the Newbury Park townhomes on Amberton Lane and Windrose Drive.
- Dues trajectory. Budget for dues that have risen sharply and may keep rising. Read the reserve study.
- Unit position. Greenbelt and cul-de-sac end units are the ones sellers market hardest. Proximity to the freeway side is worth checking in person.
- Disclosures. Review the Natural Hazard Disclosure report and the property tax bill for any special assessments, and confirm the parcel sits inside Thousand Oaks city limits for permit and service purposes.
We sell across Newbury Park and Thousand Oaks and are glad to walk the community with you, pull the association documents and show you how a specific unit stacks up against the rest of the townhome market on this side of the Conejo Valley.
