Moorpark
is located just north of Thousand Oaks and just west
of Simi Valley. The city started out as an agriculture
center and much of the housing was built to support
the workers. There is still lots of agriculture in the
area, however, the growth of the area has converted
a lot of the open spaces into new housing. Many of the
newer housing developments are very well planned and
the housing is very attractive.
This
area still has the charm of a slower pace of life with
the modern convenience of newer quality construction.
Commuting to Thousand Oaks or Simi Valley is very easy,
however, getting much further is starting to get a little
slow. The 23 Freeway now has daily traffic backup during
the morning and evening commutes.
There
is still lots of room for development, so the building
trend is likely to continue. The housing in the older
parts of Moorpark are lower to middle end while the
new areas are middle to upper-middle end. There are
several new high end golf courses in the area, with
one having a new housing development front the golf
course. This is a higher end development.
The
weather is moderate with ocean breezes often cooling
off the area in the summer afternoons. The air is fresh,
the crime is low, the schools are good, making Moorpark's
popularity continue to grow.
