WHAT IS THE CONEJO VALLEY

The Conejo Valley is a suburban region spanning the western edge of Los Angeles County and the eastern end of Ventura County, nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and rolling oak-covered hills. The name Conejo comes from the Spanish word for rabbit, a nod to the wildlife that once roamed these valleys freely.

The area began transforming in the 1960s when the 101 Freeway connected it to Los Angeles, turning what was largely open ranch land into one of Southern California's most sought-after communities. Today the Conejo Valley encompasses Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, and neighboring Moorpark, each with its own distinct character and price point.

What separates the Conejo Valley from other Southern California suburbs is the balance it delivers. Nearly a third of the land within the region is protected open space, including portions of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Wildwood Regional Park, and the Conejo Open Space Preserve. Residents have access to hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails within minutes of their front door, yet remain close to world-class dining, shopping, and employment.

The region consistently ranks among the safest in California. Thousand Oaks has earned national recognition as one of the safest cities in the entire country. The Conejo Valley Unified School District serves the area with highly rated public schools, and major employers including Amgen's global headquarters have anchored a strong professional employment base for decades.

For buyers relocating from Los Angeles or out of state, the Conejo Valley offers more space, better schools, lower crime, and a genuine sense of community without sacrificing convenience. It sits roug

WHY PACIFIC HOME GROUP
Local Knowledge You Cannot Replicate

Chrystal and David Schoenbrun grew up here, raised their family here, and have spent over 20 years helping buyers and sellers navigate every type of market this valley has seen. That is not a tagline. It is the difference between an agent who looks up a neighborhood on Google and one who can tell you which streets back to open space, which tracts have HOA issues, and which school boundary lines matter most to resale value.

 

Chrystal holds broker status, which means every transaction has an additional layer of expertise, oversight, and protection built in. The Pacific Home Group operates as a full team, so you get the personal attention of working directly with experienced agents backed by the coordination of a support structure that keeps deals moving.

 

If you are relocating, upgrading, downsizing, or selling a long-time family home, you deserve advisors who have done it before in this exact market. That is what you get with Pacific Home Group.
