Oak
Park is located just north of Agoura Hills and is
bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation
area. It is a small bedroom community that has very
nice middle to upper middle level housing. The houses
and streets roll along the foothills,
making for excellent biking and strolling.
Often,
Oak Park will be considered part of Agoura Hills,
and while they are adjacent, they are separate communities.
The recreation is very attractive for outdoor activities
and more sophisticated entertainment is just a few
miles away, in Thousand Oaks. The weather is very
pleasant, with afternoon ocean breezes cooling off
the summer heat. The 101 freeway is easily accessible
and the commute to employment centers is reasonable.
There
is a little shopping available in Oak Park and it
is newer and attractive. One of the main attractions,
as if the above items weren't enough, is the highly
prized school district. Although Oak Park is not the
largest area, it has made a serious commitment to
educating it's youth. Oak Park separated from the
Simi Valley School District and established it's own
school district and has established and maintained
a very high level of excellence in education.
