Newbury Park, CA
Casa Conejo
Casa Conejo is a compact, 1960s-vintage tract of single-family homes on a small grid of residential streets in Newbury Park, with no private HOA and no gate: its only governing body is a public Municipal Advisory Council that reports to the county Board of Supervisors, not a homeowners' association, so there are no dues, architectural-review board, or amenity package to factor in. Schools run through Conejo Valley Unified: most streets feed Walnut Elementary, Sequoia Middle School, and Newbury Park High School, with one documented exception, a higher-numbered stretch of Lesser Drive that routes to Cypress Elementary instead. Two county parks bracket the neighborhood: Pepper Tree Playfield sits on its own northern boundary street, and Borchard Community Park, with ballfields, tennis courts, and a gymnasium, sits directly across Borchard Road from its southern edge. The South Branch of the Arroyo Conejo creek runs through the community's center. Because Casa Conejo is an unincorporated Ventura County "county island" rather than part of the surrounding City of Thousand Oaks, permits and land use for any parcel here go through the county rather than Thousand Oaks City Hall, a real, checkable process difference worth confirming before purchase.

Frequently asked
Is Casa Conejo part of the City of Thousand Oaks?
No. It's an unincorporated Ventura County county island surrounded by, but administratively separate from, the City of Thousand Oaks, confirmed by both the county supervisor's own site and the U.S. Census Bureau. Permits and land use go through the county, not Thousand Oaks City Hall.
Is Casa Conejo a gated community, or does it have an HOA?
No confirmed gate and no confirmed HOA were found. Its only documented governing body is the public Casa Conejo Municipal Advisory Council, which advises the county board of supervisors. It's not a private property-owners' association and sets no dues or gates.
How old is Casa Conejo, and why is it its own unincorporated pocket?
Local historical reporting places construction beginning around 1960, four years before Thousand Oaks incorporated in 1964, though that date rests on a single news source, not a primary county record. When most of the surrounding area was later annexed into the new city, Casa Conejo remained unincorporated and has stayed that way since.
What school district and schools serve Casa Conejo?
Conejo Valley Unified School District handles this area. Per the district's own street-index records, most Casa Conejo streets feed Walnut Elementary, Sequoia Middle School, and Newbury Park High School, with one documented carve-out: part of Lesser Drive routes to Cypress Elementary instead. Check the district's street-index tool directly for whichever specific address you're considering.
Is there a creek or natural feature in the neighborhood?
Yes. The South Branch of the Arroyo Conejo runs through the center of Casa Conejo and is the site of a recurring county-organized Walk the Channel Day community event, a rare bit of natural feature woven into an otherwise flat suburban grid.
What's the closest park?
Two county parks bracket the neighborhood. Pepper Tree Playfield sits on Casa Conejo's own northern boundary street, with soccer fields, softball fields, a playground, and a walking path. Borchard Community Park, 29 acres with ballfields, tennis courts, and a gymnasium, sits directly across Borchard Road from the neighborhood's southern edge.
