Sunset Hills | Quick Take
Same tucked-away section of Thousand Oaks as East & West Hill, with a more low-key, traditional feel.
- Lifestyle: Tucked into the hills for real solitude, while still just a short drive to local amenities, the same privacy trade that defines this whole corner of town.
- Identity: A small, simplistic neighborhood with a traditional Thousand Oaks feel, inviting rather than flashy.
- Trade-off: Some homes and yards show more wear than others, and you may feel a bit removed from the action here.
- Bottom line: Mostly empty nesters looking for a home with just enough space for the kids and grandkids to visit, though the school district draws in some young families too.

What's To Love
Like all neighborhoods in this section of Thousand Oaks, the sense of privacy and seclusion is comforting in Sunset Hills. While remaining only a short drive to local amenities, you’ll also be tucked into the hills of TO – creating that sense of solitude.
What's Not To Love
No HOA removes the standard for upkeep. Some of the homes and yards are a little tired compared to other neighborhoods. You may feel a bit removed from the action here.
Who Should Look Here
The school district will certainly attract young families with school-aged kids. But mostly you’ll find your neighbors are empty nesters looking for a home with just enough space for the kids and grandkids to come back and visit.
