Discovery Homes
As you drive down the streets you’ll notice the differences from house to house. Some are original, while others have been completely resurfaced. Discovery Homes is one of those neighborhoods that will continue to change over the coming years as buyers take advantage of the opportunity to buy at a lower cost and then completely redesign from the inside out.
Newbury Park | The Overview
Curious what it’s like to live in Newbury Park beyond this neighborhood? Known for its mountain views, trail access, and more space between homes, it offers a different feel than the rest of the Conejo Valley. Here’s the full local breakdown.
Discovery Homes | Quick Take
A neighborhood mid-transformation, where original 1970 homes sit next to full renovations.
- Lifestyle: Newbury Park’s largest shopping centers are just a few minutes away, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, Home Depot, and Target all close by.
- Identity: Condition varies dramatically from house to house, some are still original, others have been completely redone. Buyers are actively renovating here, so the neighborhood keeps changing.
- Trade-off: The schools here aren’t bad, but they don’t hold up to the Conejo Valley standard as well as some other areas. Worth a closer look if schools are a top priority.
- Bottom line: A good fit for buyers who want a larger, more affordable home in a safe neighborhood, especially if you’re open to buying something original and updating it yourself. Many empty nesters live here, though turnover is picking up as their kids move out.

What's To Love
Discovery Homes sits just a few minutes from Newbury Park’s largest shopping centers – restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and a few crowd favorites like Home Depot & Target.
What's Not To Love
As we’ve said in the past, not all schools in Thousand Oaks hold up to the Conejo Valley standard. Before we scare you off, the schools here aren’t bad, but if it’s high on your priority list, you may consider looking into some different neighborhoods.
Who Should Look Here
Empty nesters make up much of Discovery Homes. However the neighborhood is starting to see more turnover as kids move on and the parents downsize. It’s a great spot for those seeking a larger house in a safe neighborhood at a more affordable price.

DISCOVERY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
People sometimes expect a single price range to mean fairly similar homes, but condition varies dramatically here, some are still fully original, others have been completely redone.
Homes here typically run $750k-$950k. Condition is a big part of the variation within that range, an original home and a fully renovated one can sit at very different points even with similar square footage.
Being just a few minutes from Newbury Park’s largest shopping centers, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, Home Depot, and Target, is a real everyday convenience that’s harder to find in some of the more tucked-away Newbury Park neighborhoods.
Both are single-family neighborhoods from a similar era, but Discovery Homes leans more on renovation opportunity and everyday convenience, while Running Springs Village stands out for its larger lots and driveway space. Worth deciding whether upside and location or lot size matters more to you.
It fits buyers comfortable purchasing an original home and updating it themselves, drawn by the larger square footage at a relatively accessible price. Empty nesters make up much of the neighborhood currently, though turnover is picking up as their kids move out.
The schools here aren’t bad, but they don’t hold up to the Conejo Valley standard as well as some other areas, so if schools are high on your priority list, it’s worth looking at a few different neighborhoods. Since condition varies so much here, walking several listings will give you a much clearer picture than the price range alone.
