Oak Park is an unincorporated community of Ventura County, and it was built out as a sequence of tracts from the late 1960s to the early 2000s under the county’s planning. Metropolitan Development Corporation bought the ranch land in the 1960s and the first houses went up on the valley floor in the late 1960s; the Municipal Advisory Council formed in 1975 and persuaded the county to cut the planned build-out from 26,000 residents to about 15,000, and the community seceded from Simi Valley Unified to form its own school district in 1977. The tracts of the 1980s and 1990s filled the slopes on either side of Kanan Road, and the last of them, above Deerhill Road, were finished in 2002.

Country Glen was built in 1986 and 1987 on the slope above Oak Canyon Community Park, one of the second-wave tracts that climbed off the valley floor. The county records show about 102 homes inside the outline; the MLS files the sales as Country Glen. The developer is not named in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify; a secondary source describes three plan tiers, from about 1,800 to 2,600 square feet with an optional downstairs bedroom, and the sale record adds a 1,348-square-foot plan below them.

The sale record shows a 1,348- to 1,628-square-foot three-bedroom, a 1,936-square-foot four-bedroom that accounts for three of the seven sales, and a 2,925-square-foot five-bedroom, all two story. The top is $1,875,000 on Park Springs Court in July 2024 for the 2,925-square-foot five-bedroom on a 24,000-square-foot lot, $1,603,875 on View Park Court in August 2023 for a 1,936-square-foot four-bedroom on a 21,600-square-foot lot, and $1,088,000 on Summit Knoll Court in August 2022 for the same plan on a standard lot. The bottom is $780,000 and $825,000 on Park Springs Court in 2020 for the smaller three-bedrooms. Four of the seven sales are four-bedrooms, two are three-bedrooms and one is a five-bedroom.

No plan sheet for Country Glen 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 1,348 to 2,925 square feet, median 1,936, with four bedrooms in four of the seven, three in two, five in one, and every recorded sale is two story.

Four courts off Oak Hills Drive, each a cul-de-sac that climbs from the park side to the hillside. Park Springs Court carries four of the seven sales. The lots are the story: about 5,700 to 8,000 square feet at the front of each court and 21,000 to 24,000 square feet at the top, where the lots run up the slope, and the record prices the hillside lots $500,000 above the standard ones for the same plan.

The first reason is the lot, on the courts that back to the hillside: a half-acre in Oak Park is rare, and Country Glen has a few. The second is the court, since every street is a cul-de-sac. The third is the park at the bottom of the hill and the Brookside assignment. The fourth is the price of the standard lots, a four-bedroom in the district near $1,050,000.

Listings report the fee at $145–$190 a month, with $190 on the 2024 and 2025 sales. The recorded sales report association fees from $145 to $190 a month; a secondary source gives about $200, and listings describe a greenbelt in the amenities. The community is not gated.

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.

Oak Park is its own school district, Oak Park Unified, a small independent K–12 district formed in 1977 and one of the main reasons buyers choose the community. The district publishes an elementary boundary street list, and every street in this tract’s sale record — Park Springs Court, View Park Court, Oak Haven Court and Summit Knoll Court — is assigned to Brookside Elementary. The district has one middle school, Medea Creek, and one high school, Oak Park High, so there is no boundary question above fifth grade. The street list this guide relies on is dated 2017; confirm the current assignment with the district office before relying on it.

Oak Canyon Community Park with the duck pond and the splash pad is at the bottom of the courts, Brookside Elementary is a few blocks west, and the Medea Creek trail and the Palo Comado trailhead are close. Oak Park runs on its parks, its trails and its one shopping center: the Oak Park Plaza at Kanan Road and Lindero Canyon Road for the supermarket, the pharmacy and the everyday errands, Oak Canyon Community Park with the duck pond and the splash pad, Deerhill Park and Medea Creek Park for youth sports, the Medea Creek trail down the middle of the community, and the Palo Comado and Cheeseboro trailheads into the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Everything else is in Agoura Hills or Westlake Village, five to ten minutes away, and the Ventura Freeway is reached down Kanan Road to the Kanan interchange or down Lindero Canyon Road to the Lindero interchange.

Oak Park has no freeway of its own. Kanan Road runs south to the Ventura Freeway at Agoura Hills in about eight to twelve minutes from most streets, and Lindero Canyon Road runs south to the Lindero Canyon interchange in Westlake Village; the north-side tracts add a few minutes to either. Errands are at the Oak Park Plaza on Kanan Road or in Agoura Hills and Westlake Village; the Westside is forty-five minutes on a good day and ninety on a bad one, and a buyer who commutes should time it at 7:30 in the morning before deciding.

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.

Only one Country Glen house sold through the MLS in the last two years: $1,030,000 in August 2025, about $532 per square foot. The longer record is seven sales from June 2020 through August 2025, from $780,000 to $1,875,000 with a median of $1,075,000. The top of the record is $1,875,000 on Park Springs Court in July 2024 for a 2,925-square-foot five-bedroom; $1,603,875 on View Park Court in August 2023 for a 1,936-square-foot four-bedroom; $1,088,000 on Summit Knoll Court in August 2022 for a 1,936-square-foot four-bedroom. The bottom is $780,000 on Park Springs Court in June 2020; $825,000 on Park Springs Court in October 2020; $1,030,000 on Park Springs Court in August 2025.

Seven sales in six years from $780,000 to $1,875,000 is two markets: the standard lots, which traded at $780,000 to $825,000 in 2020 and $1,030,000 to $1,088,000 since 2022, and the two hillside lots, at $1,603,875 and $1,875,000. The median of $1,075,000 belongs to the standard lot. 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 Country Glen; 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 1986 to 1987, and the inspection carries the 1980s list: original furnaces and condensers at end of life, tile-roof underlayment nearing the end of its span, failed dual-pane seals, and for 1985 to 1989 the possibility of polybutylene supply lines, which a plumber should be asked about by name. 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 1980s 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 the tracts on the same slope. Ridgefield next door, 1986 to 1987, is 1,840- to 2,459-square-foot houses at a median of $1,250,000 with a similar fee. Chaparral Estates below, 1968 to 1979, is the older no-fee tract at a median of $1,250,000 with the single stories. Country Meadows I, 1980, is the small-lot tract at a median of $830,000. Country Glen’s standard lots trade a step below Ridgefield, and its hillside lots trade with Regency Hills.

Start with the lot, because it is the whole difference: a standard lot and a hillside lot are the same house at prices $500,000 apart, and the hillside lot brings slope, drainage and retaining-wall questions a geotechnical engineer should answer. Then the house, briefed for the late 1980s with a plumber asked about polybutylene. Then the association, from the disclosure package. A buyer who needs a single story should look at Chaparral Estates or Morrison Estates instead.

Families first, for the courts, the park and Brookside. Buyers who want land second, for the hillside lots. Buyers moving up from Country Meadows or the condominiums third, who want a yard without leaving the district.

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 1980s. 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 the top of the record — $1,875,000 — 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.
