With regards to real estate in Thousand Oaks, there are a multitude of neighborhoods that cater to varying tastes, styles, and budgets. As an example, Lynn Ranch, which was one of the first three equestrian neighborhoods in Thousand Oaks, is a highly desirable neighborhood due to its large lot sizes, single story ranch homes, and six miles of bridle paths meandering through the neighborhood. Located in the southeastern part of Ventura County, Lynn Ranch chose to remain unincorporated. For those who are looking for a custom and/or equestrian community, this neighborhood is a fantastic choice and still so centrally located to shops, restaurants, schools, and freeways. 

Other tract communities comprised of single family residences, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments benefit from easy freeway access, proximity to The Oaks Mall, The Lakes, Amgen, and Los Robles Hospital. 

Residents can take advantage of several trail systems, including Wildwood Park which encompasses hundreds of acres. Riders, hikers, and bikers enjoy walls of volcanic rock and a seventy foot waterfall along Moonridge and Indian Creek trails. Theater enthusiasts can take in performances at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, and food and drink lovers will enjoy the variety of selections in restaurants the city has to offer.
