Once again, some people view that as a positive and others as a negative. \u00a0Those that like HOAs like the fact that their neighbor can&#8217;t paint their house lime green or leave their boat in the driveway. \u00a0Others <em>want<\/em> to paint their house lime green and <em>can&#8217;t wait<\/em> to park\u00a0their boat in the driveway. \u00a0It all depends on what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"black\" style=\"color: #709cc1;\">Plenty of Both Types of Homes in the Conejo Valley<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The good news is that the Conejo Valley offers a big selection of both newer and older construction homes. \u00a0If you decide you want newer construction, Oak Park and Lang Ranch (In Thousand Oaks) may offer the best selection of homes for you. \u00a0If you want a larger lot and less restrictions, areas of Westlake Village and most of Thousand Oaks might make the most sense for you.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you start your home search with an open mind. \u00a0I have had many buyers get into my car thinking they would never go for a planned community and change their mind half way through the day and vice versa. \u00a0After a day or so of looking, you&#8217;ll have a pretty good idea of what trade offs you are willing to make.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #d97045;\">I&#8217;d love to help you with your home buying search!<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"scroll-link btn btn-secondary\" href=\"#form-section\">Let&#8217;s Connect!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all tend to like newer things.
