Moorpark, CA
Moorpark Highlands
Moorpark Highlands is a hillside, phased master-planned community at the city's northern edge, reached via the Spring Road extension north from Charles Street, bordered on the east by Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park. The city's current approved plan caps the community at up to 450 single-family lots plus one multi-family neighborhood of up to 102 units. Nearly 40 percent of the 445-acre site, 169 acres, is permanently preserved open space, including a 94-acre core conservation area confirmed by both the city's own specific plan and a 2002 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service federal notice protecting habitat for the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher. Pardee Homes built the community's original phases beginning in the mid-2000s, and Toll Brothers built a distinct luxury phase, The Pinnacle at Moorpark Highlands, on Saddleback Drive. Mammoth Highlands Park, a neighborhood park on Elk Run Loop, takes its name from a Southern mammoth skeleton discovered nearby in 2005. No shopping or dining sits inside the community itself; residents drive south along Spring Road for retail.

Frequently asked
How many homes are approved for Moorpark Highlands?
The city's current, approved plan allows up to 450 single-family lots plus one multi-family neighborhood of up to 102 units, for up to 552 total. That's down from the original 1999 specific plan's 598-unit total.
Is Moorpark Highlands gated?
Real-estate listing sites describe at least the Toll Brothers Pinnacle phase as gated, but neither the master homeowners association's own site nor the Pinnacle sub-association's own site contains any gate or access-control language. Treat gated status as unconfirmed.
What's the big open-space feature of this neighborhood?
A 169-acre permanently preserved open-space system, including a 94-acre core conservation area under a federally reviewed Habitat Conservation Plan for the threatened coastal California gnatcatcher, confirmed by both the city's specific plan and a 2002 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice. The community also borders the 3,000-acre Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park.
Was a school ever built inside Moorpark Highlands?
The plan reserved a 22-acre site for a possible future middle school, contingent on enrollment demand. Moorpark Unified School District withdrew from the arrangement in 2008 due to declining enrollment, and the district's current ten-school list contains no campus at a Moorpark Highlands address.
Is there an ongoing special tax on Moorpark Highlands homes?
A Community Facilities District formed in 2004 at an original $30.8 million; the city council voted in 2018 to begin phasing the tax down, targeting elimination by the 2021-22 fiscal year as understood at that time. Verify current status directly with the city or county rather than assuming that timeline held.
Is there any shopping or dining inside Moorpark Highlands?
No. The Specific Plan allocates zero acreage to commercial use anywhere in the 445-acre site. The nearest options are a several-mile drive south along Spring Road, including Moorpark Town Center, where a July 2026 check found Ralphs still operating, and Moorpark Marketplace, where the same check found Target still operating.
