Direct AnswerNorth Ranch — the estate community in the hills north of Westlake Village (Thousand Oaks jurisdiction, Ventura County) around the 27-hole North Ranch Country Club — is the Conejo's understated prestige address: custom homes and gated enclaves (North Ranch Gated, the Country Club Estates pockets) generally trading $2M-$8M+, with CVUSD schools (Westlake High zone) and a quieter, golf-and-trails culture than the lake corridor below. Club membership is separate from ownership; the area's oak-savanna terrain brings standard hillside diligence.

The sub-areas

Why buyers choose it over the lake

North Ranch trades the lake's scene for land and quiet: larger average lots, the club's golf-first culture, and direct Conejo Open Space access (Sandstone Peak-system trailheads). Pricing overlaps Westlake's mid-tier while the estate ceiling runs higher than anything lakeside except the island's summit. For the golf-and-privacy buyer, this is the Conejo's default answer.
