Newbury Park is a populated place in Ventura County, California, occupying the western portion of Thousand Oaks within the Conejo Valley. Most of the community lies inside Thousand Oaks city limits after a series of annexation votes in the 1960s and 1970s, while nearby areas such as Casa Conejo and Ventu Park remain unincorporated. The community takes its name from the Newbury family, early settlers in the area. The setting is defined by open hills and mountain ridgelines, with the sandstone formations of Boney Mountain rising to the south and the Santa Monica Mountains framing the landscape. Located in the northwestern reaches of the Greater Los Angeles area, Newbury Park sits roughly 35 miles from downtown Los Angeles and less than seven miles from the Los Angeles County line near Westlake Village. The coast is within a short drive, with Malibu reachable by winding roads and trails. This position gives residents suburban space and mountain recreation while keeping the larger region's employment centers accessible. The community's growth is closely tied to the biotechnology industry. The Amgen campus, one of the world's largest biotech employers, is a defining economic anchor, and the upscale Dos Vientos master-planned community transformed the area's residential landscape as it built out over recent decades. Today Newbury Park combines established mid-century neighborhoods with newer planned developments, all oriented around the open space and schools that define the Conejo Valley. For households, Newbury Park offers a distinctive combination: quiet suburban streets, immediate trail access into the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and proximity to a major life-sciences employer. The Conejo Valley Unified School District serves the area, and Newbury Park High School anchors the community's education landscape. This blend of employment, open space, and schools has made the western Thousand Oaks area one of the most sought-after residential settings in eastern Ventura County.
