Living in Newbury Park

Newbury Park is a section of Thousand Oaks, California, about half way between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Offering green scenic beauty and clean air, Newbury Park is only 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Known for its wonderful Mediterranean climate, Newbury Park and Thousand Oaks enjoy near perfect temperatures all year round. Newbury Park includes the luxury home master planned community called Dos Vientos.

The Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park area has a very low crime rate and little traffic compared to other Southern California cities. With an almost country setting with rolling lush hills and attractive living conditions, Newbury Park is one of the most desirable places to live in Southern California. Experiencing the outdoors is easy in Thousand Oaks with more than 15,000 acres of public open space, 75 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails. The city is adjacent to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation area which gives outdoor lovers a great place to enjoy the environment.

Culture is alive and well in the city, with the world-class Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza which houses the Performing Arts Center, including the 1,800-seat Fred Kavli Theatre of the Performing Arts and the 394-seat Janet and Ray Scherr Forum Theatre. Both theatres offer a wide variety of performances including popular entertainers, Broadway musicals, ballet, symphony, live theatre, distinguished speakers, comedy, jazz, and award-winning children's shows, and much more. The Civic Arts Plaza is a focal point in the community and is also home to City Hall and a five-acre park. This family-friendly community, often named one of the safest cities for its size in the nation, prides itself on volunteerism - its members coming together to impact society in a positive manner - to create a better world for future generations.

The Business Community

The Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park area is home to a number of major corporations. The list includes Amgen, and the Bioscience Division of Baxter Healthcare Corporation, the top two international leaders in the biotechnology field; General Dynamics Corporation and Rockwell Science Center, all leaders in international high technology; Jafra Cosmetics, an international cosmetics company; WellPoint Health Networks, Inc., one of the nation's largest publicly-traded managed care companies; General Motors Regional Office, and Verizon's Regional Office.

Shopping

The Oaks Shopping Center includes three major anchor stores: Macy's, Robinsons-May and J.C. Penney, plus 150 high-quality shops, a food court and a movie theater and will be undergoing a major expansion project during the next three years. The Janss Marketplace, a smaller regional shopping center, also has three anchor stores: Mervyn's, Sears and Toys-R-Us, a food court and a 9-screen cineplex and is adding a number of regional and national stores to its mix. Nordstroms will be in the mall soon.

Additionally, national brand stores not represented in Southern California continue to seek locations in Thousand Oaks to showcase their new West Coast presence. Numerous smaller shopping centers, such as The Promenade at Westlake, The Lakes at Thousand Oaks, and North Ranch, also offer shopping choices. Residents and visitors enjoy fine dining at many local restaurants while many hotels, such as the Westlake Hyatt, offer luxury accommodations.
