The best of everything California has to offer in a friendly, suburban environment.

Upscale Safe Schools Parks Nature Outdoors Mountains Shopping Tech Suburb Commuter

About an hour west of downtown Los Angeles sits Thousand Oaks, a large, upscale suburban community. It is an outstanding place to raise a family—the FBI has identified Thousand Oaks as having one of the lowest crime rates in the nation for a city its size, and the public schools earn excellent marks.

The city is bordered to the south by the Santa Monica Mountains, giving residents enviable access to the rugged natural beauty of southern California. Malibu is only about thirty minutes away, so naturally the beach is quite popular with locals as well.
