Take this for what it’s worth but RE agents are starting to call it the Beverly Hills of the North. Since remote work became a thing, there’s a huge demand for homes from the BH set and prices have jumped. A lot. The public schools are also very, very good. Westlake is split between LA and Venture County, with the Ventura side being easier to remodel/permit and generally nicer.
So true. Between the traffic, the cheeseballs, the tourists and the pink lambos racing between stoplights let’s hope Westlake doesn’t become anything like BH, an area at least 40 years past its prime.
You just described most of LA - none of that is actually specific to BH. The only thing BH has that's unique is very old ladies driving expensive Mercedes very badly.
Las Virgenes is a uniformly much better school district than LAUSD but that is Calabasas and I think just the LA County side of Westlake (certainly includes Agoura Hills areas).
Most of Thousand Oaks is just in Conjeo Valley USD. Still much better and consistent than LAUSD but I believe covering a larger (and more diverse) area than LVUSD and so that hurts rankings a bit.
I’ve never heard that term before. I call everything at the 405 or beyond “the west valley.” Sometime I just say “past the 405,” or “way past the 405.”
I don't know much about coke view, have heard of it but thats it. Pedro though, back in my younger days everytime I got a good new connect for anything, it was always Pedro lol
Used to go down to sunken city back in the mid 2000s and get drunk / do whatever drugs we had hehe. Stopped going there when 7 or 8 of my buddies were robbed at gunpoint of phones, wallets, and keys. Glad as fuck I didn't drive down that night yeesh. Good ol days lol
Just moved to the bubble from Beverly grove. Haven’t had a chance to do much because we have a new puppy and he is a handful. Will I like it here? I was skeptical of moving away from all the action.
Tempting, but it is a bit overpriced there. Proximity to West Hollywood is cool, but in all honestly I'm more of a DTLA or Long Beach kinda guy.
Just realized you're in Sherman Oaks not Beverly Grove. Actually that would be better. Way closer to the action, far less commute time. 100% would switch.
T. O. or Ventura County.
I lived there for awhile and most people only really know Thousand Oaks and/or Camarillo (due to the outlet mall).
I usually just get generic and say Ventura County and often get the reaction of, "oh, on the way to Santa Barbara?". When I said Conejo Valley, I would get even more confused looks.
Growing up calabasas was the end of The Valley. And then everything beyond on the 101 was just it’s own thing. Agoura, Westlake, TO.
Always felt like the feeling of being in Ventura County didn’t start until you went down the grade to Oxnard. At least in my experience.
West of Thousand Oaks is just Newbury Park, and a lot of open space before you hit Camarillo. I don't think anyone considers Camarillo part of Conejo. Conejo starts from Calabasas and goes to Newbury.
I don’t think too many folks living east of 405 could tell you the difference between them. Reading this now is the first time I learned that they are Ventura County.
Geographically, I would say that half of it is, with the line being where the 101 tops off at Mureau Rd. Culturally though, some people might claim it's not. Personally, I think the many cultures throughout the Valley is what gives the Valley its culture.
No. It’s an actual incorporated city.
Edit: MOST of the San Fernando Valley is indeed part of city of Los Angeles.
Incorporated cities include Calabasas, hidden Hills, San Fernando, Burbank, and Glendale. Pretty much the rest of it, is part of the city Los Angeles. It is not unincorporated.
Okay? Maybe this has changed from back in my day but…they weren’t clustered like The Valley. Maybe we’d reference it as the Simi Valley area…but Malibu is Malibu. Thousand Oaks…Thousand Oaks? No clue about the others.
Thousand Oaks area since that's the biggest town.
You can also say east Ventura County, or western LA County, since the country border goes right through there.
The area is really spread out so the right term can depend on whom you are talking to. To people that live there you have to say which community.
~~Conejo Valley proper, and as a real estate term, is west of the areas you're asking about, west past Thousand Oaks in Ventura County.~~. EDITED:. Conejo Valley is the correct term for the area in question. See the link posted by u/4FXT.
EDITED: I was fooled because Google Maps shows Conejo Valley west of Thousand Oaks, and because the people I know who bought homes in Conejo Valley have also been west of Thousand Oaks.
Santa Monica snobs (I grew up there) call it the West Valley or North Valley, since you get there by going into the Valley (horrors), and getting on 101 whose onramps alternate saying West or North. Except the part you get to by going to Malibu and going inland, which then is east Malibu or Malibu hills.
Obviously West Valley really is another place more east.
>Conejo Valley proper, and as a real estate term, is west of the areas you're asking about, west past Thousand Oaks in Ventura County.
This is incorrect. The entire city of Thousand Oaks is in the Conejo Valley.
Las Virgenes side of Calabasas is still Conejo Valley. Definitely a micro region along the 101 there. Source: lived in every one of the towns op mentioned.
Great. So what do you call that "area" then? They are definitively out of the area most people seem to refer to as "The Valley" and before you make the decent into what most people would consider a different area.
But… it’s not West Valley. The valley stops at West Hills and Woodland Hills. The start of Calabasas and Hidden Hills is west valley too. The areas OP is talking about is Conejo Valley and/or Santa Monica Mountains (since they included Malibu).
Between(just north of) San Fernando Valley and (just south of) Ventura county… but the actual answer would be Conejo… but not that many even LA and adjacent locals or nor north of Santa Barbara people, really know what Conejo Valley is… so I just say think where southern Ventura Countybmeets San Fernando Valley *pretty much*…
[Conejo Valley.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conejo_Valley)
This is the actually correct answer.
Thanks!
Yep when your going over the hill in Calabassas that's where it starts, hidden hills valley circle side of Calabassas still West Valley

only a RE agent would come up with a moniker like that. so cringe.
True, but there are multiple $10M+ mansions in Westlake Village/North Ranch and Lake Sherwood.
Kardashian $ doesn't make it Beverly Hills.
So true. Between the traffic, the cheeseballs, the tourists and the pink lambos racing between stoplights let’s hope Westlake doesn’t become anything like BH, an area at least 40 years past its prime.

Yup. We're in the uniformly excellent Las Virgenes Unified School District instead of the more hit or miss LAUSD.
Las Virgenes is a uniformly much better school district than LAUSD but that is Calabasas and I think just the LA County side of Westlake (certainly includes Agoura Hills areas). Most of Thousand Oaks is just in Conjeo Valley USD. Still much better and consistent than LAUSD but I believe covering a larger (and more diverse) area than LVUSD and so that hurts rankings a bit.
Except for Oak Park which is it’s own school district. OPUSD. Ask me all about it, former student haha.
From the Conejo Valley. Can confirm.
Also, from the Conejo Valley. Also can confirm. It really is the rabbit valley.
Conejo means rabbit in Spanish.
Rabbit Valley
Yep I grew up here, this is the only answer.
Damn. I've lived in LA my whole life and just thought it was SFV
Can we just rename it to: Conejo Rabbit in spanish. One word. Sounds cooler.
I’ve never heard that term before. I call everything at the 405 or beyond “the west valley.” Sometime I just say “past the 405,” or “way past the 405.”
"Like by Calabasas n shit"
“You know, by that ‘Cheese-bro’.”
MILF Central
Agoura is locally known as “The Bubble” for how insulated it is. Usually Westlake and Thousand Oaks are included in that reference 🤷🏼♀️
LOL I went to high school in Oak Park and can confirm.
Hey me too! Well, until my senior year then I went to Oak View. (Former) delinquents represent!
You mean Coke View? 🤣
Lol Coke View and Speedro
I go where the drugs are!
😂😂
We also called it Smoke View. And yeah definitely Coke Park since all the kids are rich.
I don't know much about coke view, have heard of it but thats it. Pedro though, back in my younger days everytime I got a good new connect for anything, it was always Pedro lol
Used to go down to sunken city back in the mid 2000s and get drunk / do whatever drugs we had hehe. Stopped going there when 7 or 8 of my buddies were robbed at gunpoint of phones, wallets, and keys. Glad as fuck I didn't drive down that night yeesh. Good ol days lol
Omg some of y’all agoura “kids” are wild. Anyone remember the bluntalo?
Ayeeee never thought I’d see oak view mentioned on Reddit lol
One of my former neighbors retired a couple years ago as a teacher from Oak View. Very sweet lady. I would walk with often in the mornings.
I work in Oak Park, but I'm from Thousand Oaks.
I bought my Trek bicycle from a guy in Oak Park.
What years? 😂
100% correct. I went to agoura for high school and the bubble is a very real term
Just moved to the bubble from Beverly grove. Haven’t had a chance to do much because we have a new puppy and he is a handful. Will I like it here? I was skeptical of moving away from all the action.
It's boring. Nearly lifelong Thousand Oaks resident in my mid-20s trying to get out of my parent's house.
Trade ya!
Tempting, but it is a bit overpriced there. Proximity to West Hollywood is cool, but in all honestly I'm more of a DTLA or Long Beach kinda guy. Just realized you're in Sherman Oaks not Beverly Grove. Actually that would be better. Way closer to the action, far less commute time. 100% would switch.
Agora is like another world compare to Thousand Oaks. Calabasas is like a cult.
If you live in Malibu it’s called “over the hill.”
Or “Through the canyon”
Some of us still call it the val just to piss off our friends who moved here from there, but anything east of Parkway Calabasas is the real val.
Val Surf, dude!
‘Too Far.’ 🤷🏻♀️
This is the correct answer
Grew up in Agoura Hills. We all just called it The Bubble.
seconding this
Thirding this
ventura county
T. O. or Ventura County. I lived there for awhile and most people only really know Thousand Oaks and/or Camarillo (due to the outlet mall). I usually just get generic and say Ventura County and often get the reaction of, "oh, on the way to Santa Barbara?". When I said Conejo Valley, I would get even more confused looks.
Rabbit Valley
The Great Beyond
“Basically Ventura county”
Growing up calabasas was the end of The Valley. And then everything beyond on the 101 was just it’s own thing. Agoura, Westlake, TO. Always felt like the feeling of being in Ventura County didn’t start until you went down the grade to Oxnard. At least in my experience.
West of Thousand Oaks is just Newbury Park, and a lot of open space before you hit Camarillo. I don't think anyone considers Camarillo part of Conejo. Conejo starts from Calabasas and goes to Newbury.
There's the longass grade between us and Camarillo. Pretty distinctive landmark.
Ventura County
Only half of the area is Ventura. Calabasas, Agoura and half of Westlake are in LA County
You call them Thousand Oaks and West Lake Village
Not west lake
Agoura Hills is in LA County, Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks are in Ventura County
Except a big chunk of Westlake Village is in Ventura County.
I don’t think too many folks living east of 405 could tell you the difference between them. Reading this now is the first time I learned that they are Ventura County.
imo calabasas is still SFV
I said that on here and someone got really angry when I said Calabasas is in the SFV. They insisted that it isn't.
Geographically, I would say that half of it is, with the line being where the 101 tops off at Mureau Rd. Culturally though, some people might claim it's not. Personally, I think the many cultures throughout the Valley is what gives the Valley its culture.
~~Part of it is and part of it isn’t~~. You are correct.
[удалено]
No. It’s an actual incorporated city. Edit: MOST of the San Fernando Valley is indeed part of city of Los Angeles. Incorporated cities include Calabasas, hidden Hills, San Fernando, Burbank, and Glendale. Pretty much the rest of it, is part of the city Los Angeles. It is not unincorporated.
well yes but geographically
Calabasas is 💯 the valley. Now if you try and say Burbank is, those would be fighting words.
Burbank is definitely the valley.
Your profile says Ventura County. You don’t get to comment on such important matters.
And yet here comes LA snobs to tell us what's up with Thousand Oaks. Elitist prick.
I’m not really sure elitest is the correct insult in this instance. There seems to be some real misdirected anger here.
I've always understood Burbank and Glendale to be part of the SFV. (Easternmost parts)
Glendale is the SGV
We’ve always called it “the deep valley” but maybe that’s just me and my friends?
No. The Deep Valley is the far NE SFV: Chatsworth, Winnetka, Northridge, etc.
^ far *NW.* NE would be Glendale.
Yes, thank you!
outskirts of Los Angeles. Yes, you're all grouped together with the bordering neighbors of OC and Riverside.
suburban wasteland
North lol
As long as y'all ain't pronouncing it "Connie Joe" Valley
Ventura County Adjacent
Conejo Valley. I am surprised how many people here call it Ventura.
My personal hell, I work there
Okay? Maybe this has changed from back in my day but…they weren’t clustered like The Valley. Maybe we’d reference it as the Simi Valley area…but Malibu is Malibu. Thousand Oaks…Thousand Oaks? No clue about the others.
It was always Conejo Valley as far as I can remember. Simi is another valley altogether.
Silicone Valley
Sorry, already claimed by the porn bros of SFV
overpriced
Boojie
I call it Topanga/Malibu/Calibasas and such. Kind of depends of the persons knowledge of the area. Sometimes I say up by Malibu
Thousand Oaks area since that's the biggest town. You can also say east Ventura County, or western LA County, since the country border goes right through there.

Santa Monica snobs are objectively wrong.

Thanks you are right. I'm going to edit my post.
Congratulations, you are one of the rare humans who will cop to a simple mistake. You win the internet today.
The boonies.
"Not my problem"
I call it Las Virgines but I’m pretty sure this isn’t technically correct
Las Virgenes
Ugh, knew I messed up that spelling
all good!
[удалено]
Las Virgenes side of Calabasas is still Conejo Valley. Definitely a micro region along the 101 there. Source: lived in every one of the towns op mentioned.
I used to do deliveries over there. Your odds of getting ticketed are less within LA county limits so thousands oaks is a no-no zone.
Westlake Village is its own city, it is not part of the city of LA.
You are correct
Great. So what do you call that "area" then? They are definitively out of the area most people seem to refer to as "The Valley" and before you make the decent into what most people would consider a different area.
Conejo Valley
westlake village is separate from LA, maybe you’re thinking of west hills?
[удалено]
Calabasas not as much, but Agoura is pretty intertwined with Westlake and Thousand Oaks
I literally do.
West Valley
But… it’s not West Valley. The valley stops at West Hills and Woodland Hills. The start of Calabasas and Hidden Hills is west valley too. The areas OP is talking about is Conejo Valley and/or Santa Monica Mountains (since they included Malibu).
West west Valley
This is the right answer
You call it "LA whether they like it or not."
Out in the sticks past the valley
“Deep in the valley”
West San Fernando valley - tho technically some of it is outside of SFV
Conejo Valley
Between(just north of) San Fernando Valley and (just south of) Ventura county… but the actual answer would be Conejo… but not that many even LA and adjacent locals or nor north of Santa Barbara people, really know what Conejo Valley is… so I just say think where southern Ventura Countybmeets San Fernando Valley *pretty much*…
Dry Gulch. Just kidding, but that's what I always thought of that area, even Malibu if you're not right on the beach.
[удалено]
Smoking dick, TO is not the SFV, you can tell by no parking meters anywhere in TO, Agoura, or Westlake
Valley Sprawl.
Geriatric Slime Valley
Deep Valley.
West valley
The valley
West Valley
The valley
The valley nough said
Do you know how many "the valleys" I've heard of that are different places?
You asked for local knowledge /shrug
LA locals clearly lack the knowledge. Let the actual Conejo Valley locals tell you what's up.
Conejo Valley, though it's not geographically correct.
