Moorpark, CA
Downtown / Old Town Moorpark
Downtown Moorpark, also called Old Town or Historic High Street, is a walkable, mixed commercial-and-residential public street grid centered on High Street, with residential blocks to the north and the rail corridor to the south, governed under the city's own zoning rather than a homeowners association. Buyers here are trading the larger, newer-construction lots typical of Moorpark's master-planned communities elsewhere in the city for transit access and a compact commercial spine: a weekly Sunday farmers market, restaurants including Freda's Fine Food and Enegren Brewing Company, the High Street Arts Center performing-arts venue, and a Metrolink station right on High Street with free parking and both Ventura County Line and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service. The trade-off is property-level: this is a rail-adjacent corridor with at-grade crossings and horn noise near the tracks, and the street itself has been under active public reconstruction, with a Phase 1 streetscape rebuild finished in 2025 and a Phase 2 approved in 2026 extending work along more of High Street. The residential blocks' construction era isn't independently documented; treat any specific decade claim as unverified. Moorpark Unified School District serves the area district-wide, but school assignment for a specific address should be checked against the district's own boundary tool rather than assumed from the neighborhood's name.

Downtown Moorpark's housing sits in an older, mixed-use street grid governed by the city's Downtown Specific Plan rather than one master-planned tract, a different, more individually built pattern than the newer subdivisions elsewhere in Moorpark.
Frequently asked
What exactly is Downtown Moorpark, officially?
It's a real planning unit, the city's own Downtown Specific Plan, centered on High Street. The plan area includes the residential neighborhood north of High Street, the railroad right-of-way south of High Street, and properties along Moorpark Avenue north of Los Angeles Avenue. Old Town Moorpark and Historic High Street are informal names for the same area.
Does the Metrolink station sit right in the downtown area?
Yes. The Moorpark Metrolink Station's address is 300 High Street, on the same street as the historic commercial corridor, with 270 free parking spaces plus 8 handicapped spaces and service on both Metrolink's Ventura County Line and Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner. Its north parking lot, with EV charging, opened in August 2022.
Is there a farmers market on High Street?
Yes. The Moorpark Certified Farmers' Market runs every Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., year-round, per the city's own event calendar, with recent listings placing it at 450 High Street. Confirm the current week's exact site before visiting.
What schools serve downtown Moorpark?
Moorpark Unified School District serves the area district-wide. The nearest campuses are Flory Academy of Sciences and Technology and Walnut Canyon Arts & Technology Magnet School for elementary grades, Chaparral Middle School, and Moorpark High School, though specific address assignments should be confirmed directly with the district.
Is High Street under construction right now?
Yes, in phases. A Phase 1 rebuild of roughly 1,100 feet of High Street's south side, between Moorpark Avenue and Magnolia Street, was authorized in January 2025 and preserved the historic pepper trees. A Phase 2 extension, covering the street's north side and additional south-side blocks, had its engineering and project-management contracts approved in May 2026.
What dining options are on High Street today?
Freda's Fine Food and Enegren Brewing Company were both confirmed open as of early July 2026, along with the High Street Arts Center performing-arts venue. M on High closed in June 2026 after five years in business, so don't list it as a current option.
