In the early 1960's most of the Conejo Valley consisted of large ranches. Their vision included a balanced mix of residential housing, commercial services, clean industry and diverse recreation where people could live, work and play. In 35 years the Conejo had grown from a handful of ranches to a thriving community with a population of approximately 135,000. Home sites are available with golf course or lakeside frontage, hiking trails or recreation centers nearby. Major employers such as Amgen, State Farm, General Motors, Jafra, Blue Cross, General Telephone, Rockwell Science Center and others have major facilities within the community.
Recreational opportunities abound.
The beaches of Malibu and Ventura are within a 20 minute drive and mountain or desert resort areas, one to three hours. Thousand Oak offers attractive, supervised centers for teens and seniors while the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza attracts world class entertainment for everyone. Money Magazine ranked Thousand Oaks as the 4th safest city. Fire protection is excellent, with stations strategically located to cover all areas of the valley within a minimum response time. A mutual aid agreement is maintained between the Ventura and Los Angeles County departments.
