Moorpark Highlands is the city's signature master-planned hillside community - newer construction, open-space framing, and a mix of move-up product from national builders.
The community
The Moorpark Highlands Specific Plan, approved by the City of Moorpark, authorized up to 450 single-family lots plus a multi-family neighborhood, located north of Charles Street along the Spring Road extension, east of Walnut Canyon Road (SR-23) and west of Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park. Development began in the mid-2000s, with homes ranging from roughly 1,100 to 6,000+ square feet. The plan permanently preserves 169 acres under a Habitat Conservation Plan and includes a community park and multi-use trails. Verified builders include Pardee Homes (LivingSmart neighborhood) and Toll Brothers (The Pinnacle at Moorpark Highlands).
Schools
Moorpark Highlands is in the Moorpark Unified School District (MUSD). Schools in the district include Mountain Meadows Elementary, Mesa Verde Middle School, and Moorpark High School. Attendance areas are set by the district and not guaranteed by community name, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific Highlands address with MUSD.
The market
As of January 2026, the Redfin neighborhood median sale price for Moorpark Highlands was about $666,000. Note that small-neighborhood Redfin samples are volatile month to month (an earlier reading showed roughly $1.0M), so this figure should always be read with its date alongside the broader Moorpark market.
