My experience with Thousand Oaks is that I'm a local resident of the city, from the people to the atmosphere, to the weather the city in a nutshell is fantastic! I've lived here for nearly fifteen-years and haven't looked back. A slight downside to living in Thousand Oaks is the lack of nightlight, meaning it isn't a great place for having fun late out. Lastly, something I think I'd like to be changed in Thousand Oaks is for better local transportation systems to be implemented on a regular basis, rather than a transportation system with very scarce hours.

Thousand Oaks is a beautiful town! I have lived here all my life. The public schools are rated highly. We are close to the ocean, hiking trails and have tons of public open space to explore. We have great shopping, parks and recreation courses and Senior centers and college. This town caters to all age groups and is one of the safest in the nation.
It is a very safe and family friendly environment. The community is well kept and is in a perfect location. You can either go to Malibu which is just shy of 30 minutes away, or you can go to Ventura which is also about 30 minutes away. You can also go to the mountains to go skiing. It is in between gorgeous mountains and the weather is just right! Thousand Oaks has plenty of schools with great teachers.
