Why Ventura County Misty Hall Editor California 101 Real Estate Guide mhall@ca101guide.com

TheSociety ConejoofValley The Humane Ventura County The Conejo Valley is sandwiched between Los Angeles and the ocean, in the easternmost portion of Ventura County. It’s comprised of Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Oak Park, Agoura Hills, Lake Sherwood, and a portion of Calabasas. And though it’s bisected by two freeways (US-101 and SR-23), it is so much more than a pass-through community.

With lakes (Sherwood, Eleanor, Westlake), several golf courses (Los Robles, Lindero, Westlake, Tierra Rejada), and tons of hiking trails (too many to list!), there’s plenty of outdoor adventures to be had. But there’s ample fun indoors, as well. Conejo Valley has a vibrant cultural scene, with fantastic music and performing arts venues like the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Center, Hillcrest Center for the Arts, and the Canyon Club. Due to the valley’s

proximity to Los Angeles, its venues see more than its share of performances from world-class artists.

Conejo Valley also boasts a huge variety of restaurants, bars, breweries and wineries, incredible shopping (The Oaks, The Lakes, Janss), and excellent public and private schools (including a university, Cal Lutheran); there’s even a presidential library (Ronald Reagan’s) a stone’s throw away in Simi Valley.

Not too hot, not too cold, Conejo Valley is the Goldilocks of climate, averaging less than 90 degrees in the summer and rarely dipping below 40 in winter. It’s close to L.A., but has ample opportunities to get lost in nature. It’s got plenty of housing within walking distance of city centers and great small communities to raise kids, with Oak Park topping the list of best places to live in Ventura County (niche.com).

But Conejo Valley also boasts some absolutely stunning — and exclusive — communities, like Lake Sherwood, North Ranch, Hidden Valley, and The Oaks of Calabasas.

It’s no wonder the region’s communities are regularly ranked as some of the best places to live in California. Here are some of our favorite reasons why we wholeheartedly agree.

• Explore pretty places and great gardens There’s so much beauty in Conejo Valley, but you’ve got to get off the Springtime in the Conejo Valley means an explosion of wildflowers on the area’s many freeway to really experience it. Want trails. But since the area boasts great weather, you can hike here any time of year. to feel some serious garden envy?

Head to Gardens of the World (gardensoftheworld. info) in Thousand Oaks. You’ll find 4.5 acres of specialty gardens highlighting different locations all over the world, from Spanish to Japanese, English to Italian. The Hogan family went all-out in creating these extensive, carefully maintained and exquisitely beautiful gardens, which are open to the public free of charge. More free garden envy can be found at the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, also in Thousand Oaks. It boasts 33 acres and 18 different gardens, highlighting geographic regions (California and Australian native plantings) as well as tributes to specific types of plants like herbs, salvias, and those that attract butterflies and birds.

the Channel Islands on a clear day. Paradise Falls in Thousand Oaks is a bit easier (if more heavily trafficked), with a loop that clocks in well under three miles. Not surprisingly, its highlight is a waterfall, but don’t bring your bathing suit; swimming isn’t permitted. Great views of the entire Conejo Valley can be seen by hiking China Flats (Oak Park) and Bowfield (Westlake Village). The Conejo Valley also provides easy access into the Santa Monica Mountains for some fantastic Malibu-area hikes.

• Go shop-hopping As a kid, The Oaks was like the Holy Grail of shopping. It

blew my mind how many different kinds of stores there were in this Thousand Oaks mall. And I gotta admit, I still feel that way (especially about the Godiva chocolate store). With more than 180 shops, a movie theater, tons of restaurants, and even an awesome art museum (The California Museum of Art Thousand Oaks), you’re going to want to plan a full-day trip here.

• Get out and hike If you’re after more natural beauty, check out Conejo Valley’s myriad trails. Newbury Park’s Boney Mountain Overlook Trail is a tough-but-worth-it hike with fascinating geology and killer views extending out to California 101 Real Estate Guide

Also in Thousand Oaks is the Janss Marketplace. This outdoor mall also boasts a huge variety of shops and restaurants, including Ulta Beauty, Nordstrom Rack, and Dave & Buster’s. Not to be outdone by The Oaks, Janss also has a movie theater and a museum (Conejo Valley Art Museum). There’s also The Lakes at Thousand Oaks.

In addition to great shopping and food options, it has a gorgeous pond and lots of events on the calendar that take advantage of its outdoor beauty (including special kids’ activities every Wednesday). Still not enough for you? Check out The Promenade at Westlake. Although fair warning, home décor friends — they have Restoration Hardware AND Sur la Table.

Delve into American history and beyond at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, located just north of Conejo Valley in Simi Valley. It is home to a large library, as well as permanent exhibits like Reagan’s Air Force One (yes, you can go inside!) and a piece of the Berlin Wall. There are also rotating exhibits, from the recently completed Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibition to the Egypt’s Lost Cities Exhibit, which opens Oct. 5. Check out reaganfoundation.org for more. ***

Boccaccio’s Restaurant in Westlake Village sits right on Westlake Lake. The location is stunning (watching the sun set, lake-side, over the Santa Monica Mountains is hashtag-amazing), and they’ve got the food and service to match. Mastro’s Steakhouse and Lure Fish House are other local favorites for American fine dining.

For something a little different, try Moqueca (Brazilian), Mouthful Eatery (Peruvian), Sesame Inn (Asian), and Ali Baba’s Kitchen (Middle Eastern).

HELPFUL SELLING AND BUYING POINTS

Make floors shine like new Flooring should last for years. The online home improvement resource HomeAdvisor estimates that the average cost of a flooring project ranges from $357 for vinyl or linoleum flooring to $4,240 for wood flooring. Homeowners investing in new flooring do not want to replace floors too frequently, and keeping floors looking like new takes effort and maintenance.

Sweep and clean Restoring shine to flooring involves making sure the floor is clean. Dirt and grime can diminish the color and look of flooring. Homeowners are urged to use products designed for their particular flooring material, such as wood, laminate, stone, or vinyl.

Products oftentimes are not interchangeable.

Begin by thoroughly sweeping or vacuuming the floor. Clean along all surfaces of the floor, including under furniture where dust and dirt tends to accumulate. Use the hard-floor setting on a vacuum to avoid having the brush rolls scratch or damage the flooring. Laminate can scratch easily and hardwood flooring is not impervious to dings and scratches.

Quite often a dry mop or a static-charged mopping cloth effectively picks up debris left behind on many flooring surfaces.

Although many commercial cleaners can clean flooring, homemade mopping solutions are sometimes just as effective. Keep in mind that wood, laminate, and vinyl should not be soaked in water. A little liquid can go a long way on these surfaces. Water and other liquids can seep between laminate and wood boards, potentially contributing to swelling and damage over time. Also, resist the urge to use too much soap. Soap can leave behind a residue that dulls the finish of the floor.

Vinegar-based solutions can work well on a wide variety of flooring types and help cut through any sticky residue left behind from cooking, cleaning, and the activities of daily life. Many wood-floor cleaners and polishes are oil-based to condition the wood in the process. Whenever making one’s own solution, test a small amount in an inconspicuous spot to make sure it will not damage the flooring.

Protection Another way to prolong the life of flooring is to protect it from wear and tear. Removing shoes before walking indoors can help. Avoid high heels and athletic cleats, which can create divots in hardwood and some other types of flooring.

Place indoor and outdoor mats at the entrances of the home to catch any dirt that would be ground into the flooring. Furniture protectors will help prevent scratches from furniture feet while moving pieces around a room.

Remember to wipe up spills when they occur to prevent the formation of stains.

These steps can keep floors in top form and prevent premature aging or damage. Floors that are in especially bad shape may need professional restoration or replacement.

In that case, here’s a few local professionals to consider: • Chisum’s Floor Covering, chisumsfloorcovering.com • Flooring 101, flooring101.com • Artizen Floors (Bennett Floors), bennettfloors.com Ventura County, CA – September 2019
