The demand for single story homes in the Conejo Valley has greatly increased over the last decade.
But, when the Conejo Valley was built, home builders skewed towards families with young kids who tended to favor 2 story layouts. Overtime, the kids have moved on, but their parents elect to stay although no longer wanting a 2 story house – greatly increasing the demand for single story houses.
I estimate that our typical neighborhood is about 4:1 two story homes vs one story homes, overall. However, there are some neighborhoods that buck that trend and have a lot more single story homes.
If a single story is what you’re looking for, good news, I’ve compiled a list of potential communities to consider based on the following criteria:
-
Ratio of two story homes vs one story homes closer to 2:1.
-
Single family only (no townhomes).
-
Large communities with consistent turnover.
