Signature Collection was built from 2000 on the last large piece of North Ranch, at the top of North Westlake Boulevard past Kanan Road where the boulevard climbs toward the Simi Hills, as a gated tract of large production houses beside the slightly older North Pointe. The MLS files it as Signature Collection NR, and the recorded sales date most of the houses to 2000 to 2002 with a few finished later, the newest in 2023.

The developer is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify. What the record shows is a tract of about 101 houses of 3,337 to 5,718 square feet, four and five bedrooms, on lots of 12,600 to 23,500 square feet, with the gate, security and maintained landscaping carried as the amenities and dues of $275 a month on 2025 sales (older listings showed $199 to $275).

The record sorts into four plans. A single-story 3,337-square-foot four-bedroom, which sold for $1,810,000 on Rainfield Avenue in January 2025. A single-story 4,007-square-foot four-bedroom, which holds the bottom of the record at $1,610,000 on Hathaway Avenue in November 2020, before the run-up. A two-story 5,283- to 5,330-square-foot five-bedroom, the median plan, which holds the top at $3,023,000 on Waterside Circle in August 2023. And a two-story 5,718-square-foot five-bedroom, the largest, which sold for $2,880,000 on Waterside Circle in July 2025. Nine of the sixteen are five-bedroom houses and seven are four-bedroom; seven of the sixteen are single story, at a median of $2,241,500.

No plan sheet for Signature Collection is in the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors archive that this guide series draws on, so there is no drawing to reproduce. The sale record shows homes of 3,337 to 5,718 square feet, median 5,283, with five bedrooms in nine of the sixteen, four in seven, and seven of the sixteen recorded sales are single story.

Five streets inside the gate: Rainfield Avenue carries six of the sixteen sales, Waterside Circle four, and Hathaway Boulevard, Hathaway Avenue and Allyson Court two each. The lots run from about 12,600 to 23,500 square feet, median about 15,700, and the lots against the hillside at the back of the tract carry the views.

The first reason is the age: 2000 and later, with the systems work of the 1980s tracts a generation away. The second is the single-story stock, seven of sixteen sales, in plans of 3,300 to 4,000 square feet. The third is the gate at a fee of a few hundred dollars a month. The fourth is the size: 5,300 square feet at the median with five bedrooms, on a lot of a third of an acre.

Listings report the fee at $199–$275 a month, and $275 on the 2025 sales. The fee carries the gate, the private streets and the common landscaping, and an architectural review of exteriors.

What the association covers and what the CC&Rs restrict is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify. Take the budget, the reserve study, the insurance certificate and the CC&Rs from the seller’s disclosure package, read the minutes for any special assessment or litigation, and confirm the current fee with the manager before removing a contingency.

Signature Collection is inside the City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley Unified district. Its streets sit at the northern edge of North Ranch, and the elementary and middle assignments listings give for them are not the same as for the streets around the club; confirm the exact address with the district locator before relying on any school.

The North Ranch Center at Kanan Road and Lindero Canyon Road is five minutes away, and the North Ranch Country Club is a few minutes further. The open space above the tract carries the trails. North Ranch is the country-club side of Westlake Village: the North Ranch Country Club and its courses in the middle, the North Ranch Center shopping at Kanan Road and Lindero Canyon Road for groceries, coffee and errands, the open-space trails up the hillsides behind the tracts, and the lake, the Landing and the Westlake Village Inn ten minutes down Westlake Boulevard or Lindero Canyon Road. The Ventura Freeway is ten minutes from most streets by either road, and the drive to the Westside is the same forty minutes to ninety it is from anywhere in the Conejo Valley.

North Westlake Boulevard runs south past Kanan Road to the Ventura Freeway in about ten minutes; Kanan Road reaches the freeway at Agoura Hills in about the same time. The Westside is forty minutes on a good day and ninety on a bad one.

The figures in this section were current when this guide was last reviewed. The sale record in the facts above and the listings below are drawn live from the MLS each time the page loads.

Four homes in the tract sold through the MLS in the last two years (September 2024 to August 2025), at prices from $1,810,000 to $2,880,000 and a median of $2,665,000. The longer record is sixteen sales since July 2020, from $1,610,000 to $3,023,000 with a median of $2,172,149. The top of the record is $3,023,000 on Waterside Circle in August 2023 for a 5,330-square-foot five-bedroom; $2,880,000 on Waterside Circle in July 2025 for a 5,718-square-foot five-bedroom. The bottom is $1,810,000 on Rainfield Avenue in January 2025; $1,610,000 on Hathaway Avenue in November 2020. Single-story homes account for seven of the sixteen sales, at a median of $2,241,500.

The shape of the six years is the same as the rest of the Conejo Valley: sharp appreciation from 2020 into 2022 and a band since, with the premium inside the band going to the plan, the lot, the view and the renovation. A record this short should be read as a range rather than a trend; Gary Jacobs keeps the full sale-by-sale history and can say where a given house sits in it.

No lease is recorded in the MLS sources this guide draws on, so it does not quote a rent for Signature Collection; a current figure should come from the leasing agents who work these streets. Each association’s leasing rules — minimum terms, caps, pet rules — should be read before buying as an investment.

These homes date from 2000 to 2023, and the inspection carries the 2000-era list: original furnaces, water heaters and condensers at end of life, original appliances, and the builder-grade window, slab and stucco questions of any production house of the period. Slope lots add drainage and retaining-wall questions that a general inspector will flag but a geotechnical engineer should answer; pools of this age often have original equipment and plaster. None of this is unusual; all of it is negotiable if it is found before the contingency comes off rather than after.

In a tract of this era the remodels that return their cost are the ones that bring a 2000s plan to the way people live now: the kitchen opened to the family room, the primary bath and closet, the floors and the glass, and, on the right lot, the pool. What does not return its cost is the addition that pushes the house past what the street will support; the record shows the top sales are renovated versions of the original plans on the better lots, not the biggest houses.

The comparison is North Pointe next door and the other post-2000 tracts of the area. North Pointe, 1999, is 3,729- to 4,481-square-foot gated houses at a median of $2,300,000 with a fee of $170 a month. Majestic Oaks, 2002 to 2006 on the Lindero Canyon side, is 3,500- to 4,800-square-foot gated houses at a median of $2,300,000. Whitehawk, the 1988 tract on half-acre lots, trades at a median of $2,750,000. Signature Collection trades with North Pointe and Majestic Oaks at the median and has the largest plans and the most single-story houses of the three.

Start with the plan and level, because the single-story houses sell first and the 5,300-square-foot plan holds the top of the record. Then the lot: hillside or interior, and the view. Then the house, with the inspector briefed on the 2000-era list: original furnaces, water heaters and condensers at end of life, and the builder-grade window, slab and stucco questions of any production house of the period. Then the association package for the fee and the architectural rules, and the school assignment for the exact address.

Families first, for the five-bedroom houses behind a gate. Downsizers second, into the single-story plans, often from the older North Ranch streets. Buyers relocating third, for whom a newer gated tract in the Conejo Valley district is easy to understand from a distance.

For a buyer, read the plan off the square footage and the level, take the association package from the disclosures before the inspection, and brief the inspector for the 2000s. Pull the permit history of any addition, pool or converted garage from the county. Confirm the school assignment for the exact address.

For a seller, the comparable is the same plan and level, and the top of the record — $3,023,000 — is the renovated house on the better lot. Price to the record for the plan, say the association fee and the school assignment in the first lines of the listing, and let the condition argue for the top of the band.
