Morrison Ranch is the north side of Agoura Hills between Kanan Road and the Ventura County line, developed on the old Morrison cattle ranch from the late 1970s through the 1980s as a set of related tracts — the East and North Meadows, the Highlands and Ranch South — that share a name, the greenbelts and the horse trails, and an association structure that varies by section. The developer of any one section is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify.

The Highlands was recorded in three tracts on the hillside above the Meadows and built out from 1983 to 1988 with the largest plans in the development, on lots sized for the slope. The county records show about 293 parcels.

The plans run from 3,833 to 5,902 square feet, four to six bedrooms, nearly all two story. The top is $3,500,000 on Deerview Court in May 2024 for a 4,935-square-foot five-bedroom from 1986 on a third of an acre, and $3,200,000 on Weeping Willow Drive in June 2025 for a 4,412-square-foot five-bedroom. The bottom is $1,825,000 on Queens Way in May 2020 for a 4,122-square-foot four-bedroom, and $1,630,000 on Laro Drive in August 2020 for the same plan. Fifteen of the twenty-four sales are five-bedrooms, five are four-bedrooms and four are six-bedrooms; two of the twenty-four are single story, at a median of $2,103,625.

No plan sheet for Morrison Highlands 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 3,833 to 5,902 square feet, median 4,647, with five bedrooms in fifteen of the 24, four in five, six in four, and two of the 24 recorded sales are single story.

Laro Drive carries six of the twenty-four sales and Weeping Willow Drive four, with Queens Way, Macadam Court, Bertrand Drive and Greenbriar Court two each and Heritage Drive, Bainbridge Court, Deerview Court, Ridgeway Drive, Castlehill Drive and Edinburgh Court one each. The streets climb the hillside from the Meadows, and the lots grow with the elevation: about 11,000 square feet at the bottom to 28,000 at the top, median about 15,500. The view lots on the upper streets are the premium.

The first reason is the size: 3,800 to 5,900 square feet, five and six bedrooms, which is the largest production plan in the city. The second is the hill, with the view lots on the upper streets looking over the valley. The third is the low fee for the setting, a few hundred dollars a year for the greenbelts and trails.

Listings report the fee at $540–$780 a year and $150–$256 a quarter; every 2025–2026 sale reported $255 to $256 a quarter. The recorded sales report fees of $540 to $780 a year and $150 to $256 a quarter, and every 2025 and 2026 sale reported $255 to $256 a quarter. The greenbelts and the horse trails are what the association carries, and the landscape is maintained on some streets according to listings.

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.

Agoura Hills is in the Las Virgenes Unified district, and listings in Morrison Ranch give Sumac Elementary, Lindero Canyon Middle School and Agoura High School. Confirm the exact address with the district locator.

The greenbelts and the horse trails run through the section, Morrison Park is at the bottom of the hill, and the Kanan Road shops are a few minutes away. Agoura Hills runs on Kanan Road and the freeway: the shops and restaurants along Kanan Road and Agoura Road, the Whizin Market Square and the Twin Oaks center, Chumash Park and the city’s smaller parks, the Reyes Adobe Historical Site, and the Santa Monica Mountains trails at Cheseboro Canyon, Ladyface and Paramount Ranch a few minutes away. The Ventura Freeway runs through the middle of the city with interchanges at Kanan Road, Reyes Adobe Road, Chesebro Road and Liberty Canyon Road, and the drive to the Westside is the same forty minutes to ninety it is from anywhere in the Conejo Valley.

The Kanan Road interchange is about five minutes. Errands are along Kanan Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard; 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.

In the two years through May 2026, seven homes in the tract sold through the MLS, at prices from $2,057,250 to $3,200,000 and a median of $2,700,000. Over the longer record since May 2020, 24 sales ran from $1,630,000 to $3,500,000 with a median of $2,625,000. The top of the record is $3,500,000 on Deerview Court in May 2024 for a 4,935-square-foot five-bedroom; $3,200,000 on Weeping Willow Drive in June 2025 for a 4,412-square-foot five-bedroom. The bottom is $1,825,000 on Queens Way in May 2020; $1,630,000 on Laro Drive in August 2020. Single-story homes account for two of the 24 sales, at a median of $2,103,625.

Twenty-four sales in six years from $1,630,000 to $3,500,000 is one section with a steep rise and a view premium: the 2020 sales at $1,630,000 to $1,825,000 and the 2024 and 2025 sales at $3,000,000 and above for the same plans. Inside a year the premium is the lot and the view, then the renovation. 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 Morrison Highlands; 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 1983 to 1988, 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 other large-plan tracts of the Conejo Valley. Morrison Ranch South below, 1983 to 1987, is 2,369- to 4,000-square-foot houses at a median of $1,747,500. Peacock Ridge above Lake Lindero, 1987 to 1988, is 3,442- to 4,026-square-foot houses at a median of $1,759,725. Medea Valley Estates in Cornell, gated on acre lots, trades at a median of $3,137,500. Across the county line, North Ranch’s Signature Collection and High Country are the equivalents at higher prices. Morrison Highlands is the largest plan and the highest median inside the city of Agoura Hills.

Start with the slope: a geotechnical engineer on the pad, the drainage and any retaining walls, on every lot on the upper streets. Then the house, briefed for the mid-1980s, including the polybutylene question. Then the view, which is the premium and which the listing should prove from the rooms rather than the roof.

Families moving up first, from the Meadows sections and Fountainwood, for the size. Buyers relocating second, for whom a 5,000-square-foot house in the Las Virgenes district under $3,500,000 is the brief. View buyers third, comparing the upper streets with North Ranch across the line.

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 level, and the top of the record — $3,500,000 — 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.
