Agoura Hills

Agoura Hills lies along the 101 at the western edge of Los Angeles County, bordered by Westlake Village, Oak Park and Calabasas. Ladyface Mountain rises behind the city and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area wraps around it, so the setting feels more rural than its location suggests.

Ventura County buyers often shop Agoura Hills alongside Westlake Village and Oak Park. The trade-offs are mostly about county services and the school district (Las Virgenes Unified). The housing mix runs from condos and 1960s-80s tract homes to hillside custom homes and larger-lot horse properties in Old Agoura.

• Dining and shopping cluster along Agoura Road and around the Kanan Road and Reyes Adobe interchanges, including local restaurants and live-music venues.
• The City's Agoura Hills Recreation & Event Center hosts classes, events and community programs.
• The Reyes Adobe Historical Site preserves one of the area's early ranch adobes.
• Malibu is about 20 to 25 minutes south via Kanan Road.

Agoura Hills is a trail town. National Park Service lands at Cheeseboro and Palo Comado Canyons and Paramount Ranch (with its rebuilt Western movie-town set) are minutes away, and the Ladyface Mountain trail climbs right behind the city. City parks include Chumash Park and Reyes Adobe Park. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 at Liberty Canyon is being built here to connect the Santa Monica Mountains with the Simi Hills.

• Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD) serves Agoura Hills, including Agoura High School and Lindero Canyon Middle School, along with several elementary schools.
• A number of private schools operate in Agoura Hills and the neighboring cities.

Confirm the school assignment for a specific address with LVUSD.

Electricity: Southern California Edison (SCE) owns the lines, reads the meter and sends the bill (sce.com, 1-800-655-4555). Agoura Hills is a member of Clean Power Alliance (CPA), so homes are enrolled in CPA for the power supply by default; the default tier is 100% Green Power.
