Welcome to the Conejo Valley!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

We think you are going to love it here, and we’re excited to share why:<\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

We love the Conejo Valley and its laid back lifestyle and hometown feel. Yes, it can be a bit sleepy. But who wants to deal with a bunch of traffic, parking tickets, and overcrowded malls anyway?<\/p>\n

Conejo Valley is a proud mix of the young and the old with a lot of us in the middle. It\u2019s where we come to live outdoors, meet friends for coffee, or hit a local wine bar after a stroll around the lake.<\/p>\n

But most of all, it’s Southern California’s best kept secret. Maintaining its small town vibe with a soul for the adventurous and a heart for families. It’s the place we’re proud to call home.<\/p>\n

A Favorite CVG Memory:<\/span><\/strong> Reserving a section of Oak Canyon Splash Park. Bringing in a bounce house, and having a reptile party for my son’s 5th birthday.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, you\u2019re moving to the Conejo Valley\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s country living, there\u2019s city living, and there\u2019s something in between – that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the Conejo Valley. The enticing balance of the relaxed, carefree lifestyle of living in the countryside and the convenience of living in a major city.<\/p>\n

We may be small but we\u2019re big where it counts. It\u2019s not<\/em> the type of small town where everyone shares the same grocery store and has to drive 10 miles to get there. In fact, we get a little cranky if it takes more than 5 minutes to get to a store. The day to day living is easy – and that\u2019s the way we like it.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s safe. Safe in the way that you\u2019ll feel comfortable taking a walk around the lake even when it\u2019s dark out. Safe enough that accidentally leaving your garage open over night doesn’t mean you’ll wake up to an empty garage in the morning (yep, I’ve done that).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The tradeoff?<\/span> It\u2019s not for everyone. Some of you like the hustle and bustle of a major city. The sound of the city life right outside your window and the late nights bar hopping until 2am. You won\u2019t find that in the Conejo Valley. A nice dinner, a bottle of wine and home at a decent hour is more our style – it’s definitely the CVG style.<\/p>\n

Conejo Valley is a close knit group of people who moved to the Conejo Valley to raise our kids. We hangout at the park, hit an occasional happy hour, and support our local businesses. We’re an easy going bunch and making friends is easy.<\/p>\n

Stonehaus Winery is a great day or night spot to ditch the kids for awhile and sip on some local wines.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Other Stuff that Matters<\/span><\/h3>\n

We know that settling into your new digs is more than parks and happy hour. It\u2019s the day to day stuff that matters most. From Whole Foods and Target, to locally sourced restaurants and In-N-Out Burger, you\u2019ll find everything you need within a five mile radius.<\/p>\n

What you won’t find is a local Walmart. We go out of our way to support our local businesses – that’s just how we do it here. Of course, you can find a 24 Hour or LA Fitness, but you\u2019ll find me at Stevenson Fitness – the neighborhood gym where everyone\u2019s friends with the owner.<\/p>\n

Let’s Talk Weather<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Conejo Valley loves its California sunshine. Our summers can get a little warm, but at least our winters don\u2019t leave us shoveling snow from the driveway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before we get into summer vs. winter, <\/span>let\u2019s address the two types of people in this world: Those that like the heat (strange), and those who don\u2019t (us).<\/p>\n

If you love the heat, no need to worry. You\u2019ll be happy in the California sun sitting by the pool, enjoying an outdoor venue, or heading to the park. Even letting the kiddos run around one of our indoor playgrounds when you do need to escape the heat.<\/p>\n

We however, don\u2019t like the heat. So the few weeks a year where the temp hits triple digits, you can find us indoors with the A\/C cranked high.<\/p>\n

But, whether you love the heat or not, you\u2019ll be happy to hear that our temperatures always drop with the sun. You won\u2019t find yourself sweating in your bed sheets at night. A cracked window and a fan usually does the trick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To touch on winter:<\/span> Our winters, or lack there-of, last about as long as our summer\u2019s heat wave – not very. There\u2019s a reason Californians have a reputation for not knowing how to drive in the rain, we don\u2019t get much practice. It only rains a few weeks of the year and we welcome it when it does.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All in all, we\u2019re super lucky here. Our moderate temperatures invite an active lifestyle and just makes life more fun. We\u2019re spoiled in the Conejo Valley and we don’t mind bragging about it.<\/p>\n

Your Morning Commute<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

When we talk about traffic in the Conejo Valley we have to break it down into two groups: Local traffic and commuter traffic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s rarely local traffic<\/span> – it\u2019s one of the things we love most about living in the Conejo Valley. We do get hit with the 9 and 5 slow down, but it only adds 15 minutes or so to the drive. And it\u2019s usually the highways that get a little heavy, the side streets usually remain clear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commuters and the Daily Trek Downtown<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many of our locals work in nearby cities. For those taking the daily trek downtown, traffic is a little different. Getting out of town remains pretty easy, but you will hit that L.A. traffic further down the 101.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With that said, we love being close to the city. On a weekend, it\u2019s easy to hop over to the pier in Santa Monica, downtown Los Angeles to catch a game, or even north to Santa Barbara for a night\u2019s stay at a B&B.<\/p>\n

Conejo Valley Schools<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We’re known for our excellent schools. But, chances are you already know that. If you don’t, there are tons of online resources where you can read all about our school’s scores and rankings.<\/p>\n
