Agoura Hills, CA
Old Agoura
Old Agoura is a rural equestrian community governed by the city's own Old Agoura Design Overlay District, which keeps streets free of curbs, gutters, and streetlights, caps building coverage at 25 percent of a lot, and requires that development stay usable for horses and other farm animals; bridle trails line many of the streets. There's no mandatory HOA here: the Old Agoura Homeowners association runs on voluntary contributions, makes no gate claim, and offers only an optional design-review step ahead of formal permitting. Old Agoura Park, with a baseball field, playground, and equestrian arena, anchors the neighborhood at 5301 Chesebro Road; further out the same road, the National Park Service's Cheeseboro Canyon trailhead is the gateway to roughly 4,000 acres of open space. Las Virgenes Unified serves every address, with elementary in the shared Sumac/Willow/Mariposa zone and middle school genuinely split between A.E. Wright and Lindero Canyon depending on the street; high school is Agoura High. The community spans both the incorporated City of Agoura Hills and unincorporated Los Angeles County; the park sits on the city side, the NPS trailhead on the county side, so buyers should confirm which jurisdiction covers a specific parcel before assuming who handles permits.

The Housing Stock
Old Agoura's homes sit on large, irregular lots zoned for very low residential density and equestrian use rather than in a tract-grid subdivision, so lot size and jurisdiction, not a shared construction era, set this community's housing apart.
Frequently asked
Is Old Agoura part of the City of Agoura Hills?
Genuinely mixed, so it depends on the parcel. The city's Old Agoura Design Overlay zoning, its ownership of Old Agoura Park, and the county's own annexation map together show the community spans both incorporated Agoura Hills and unincorporated Los Angeles County. Check any specific address against the county assessor before assuming either jurisdiction.
Is Old Agoura a gated community?
No, not as a whole. The Old Agoura Homeowners association's own site makes no gate or access-control claim anywhere on its public pages. Individual private properties may have gated driveways, but that's a per-property feature, not a neighborhood-wide designation.
Is there a mandatory HOA with dues?
No. The Old Agoura Homeowners association's own site states directly that it doesn't have mandatory dues, only voluntary contributions to cover overhead like insurance and communication. It does run an informal design-review step ahead of formal city or county permitting.
What school district serves Old Agoura, and which schools?
Las Virgenes Unified School District district-wide. Elementary falls in a shared Sumac, Willow, and Mariposa attendance zone; middle school genuinely splits between A.E. Wright Middle for the northern and central area and Lindero Canyon Middle nearer Palo Comado Canyon Road; high school is Agoura High. Verify any specific address against the district's own locator tool.
Can I keep horses on my property here?
The city's Old Agoura Design Overlay zoning is written specifically to preserve that use, including a standard that development stay tenable for horses and other farm animals. Confirm any specific parcel's zoning and recorded restrictions before purchase.
What trail access does Old Agoura have?
Old Agoura Park has its own equestrian arena, and public bridle trails line many streets in the community, per the homeowners association's own site. The NPS Cheeseboro Canyon trailhead, reopened in August 2023 after a renovation, is the main gateway into the roughly 4,000-acre Cheeseboro and Palo Comado Canyons open space, though its current page notes no on-site drinking water as of July 2026.
