If you’ve been thinking about moving closer to family—maybe to be near your grandkids, aging parents, or simply to enjoy more time together—you're not alone. Across Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, and Newbury Park, more and more homeowners are making lifestyle moves that put loved ones first.

At Lydia Gable Realty Group, we’ve helped dozens of families relocate both into and out of the Conejo Valley, guiding them through every step of the process with care, precision, and local expertise. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, here’s what to know before making the move.

❤️ Why So Many Are Moving Closer to Family

Life changes fast—and priorities do too. For many of our clients, the motivation isn’t just a new house; it’s reconnection.

  • Grandkids grow up fast. Moving back to Westlake Village or Thousand Oaks means you can attend soccer games, school recitals, or family dinners instead of watching from FaceTime.

  • Aging parents need nearby support. Relocating to Agoura Hills or Newbury Park puts you minutes, not hours, away.

  • Lifestyle flexibility. With remote work and hybrid schedules, it’s easier than ever to live where your heart is.

  • Community and quality of life. The Conejo Valley consistently ranks among the safest and most family-friendly regions in Southern California, with top-rated schools, scenic parks, and a relaxed, suburban feel that draws families back year after year.

These personal reasons often merge with practical ones—great climate, top amenities, and a thriving local real estate market.

📦 Planning Your Relocation: Start with Strategy

Relocating isn’t just packing boxes—it’s coordinating timing, finances, and emotions. Here’s how to make it seamless:

  1. Clarify your priorities. Are you downsizing, upgrading, or looking for a multi-generational home near family?

  2. Know your budget and timeline. Home values in the Conejo Valley range from $900K–$1.3M on average, depending on neighborhood and condition.

  3. Choose the right neighborhood.

    • Westlake Village: Walkable communities, lakefront homes, and proximity to shopping and golf.

    • Thousand Oaks: Family-friendly neighborhoods with excellent schools and parks.

    • Agoura Hills: Peaceful atmosphere, nature trails, and easy freeway access.

    • Newbury Park: Spacious lots, mountain views, and a quiet suburban charm.

  4. Coordinate sale and purchase. If you’re selling your current home to buy locally, our team can align both timelines so you don’t get stuck “in between.”

  5. Work with a relocation-experienced Realtor. We specialize in managing out-of-state logistics, coordinating inspections, and negotiating on your behalf—even when you’re hundreds of miles away.

🌍 Why the Conejo Valley Is Ideal for Family Moves

Few regions combine natural beauty, safety, and accessibility like the Conejo Valley. Local families love that they can enjoy:

  • Top schools — Conejo Valley Unified and Las Virgenes Unified consistently score among California’s best.

  • Outdoor recreation — miles of hiking and biking trails, from Wildwood Park to the Santa Monica Mountains.

  • Central location — easy drives to both Los Angeles and the coast.

  • Vibrant community life — farmers markets, local concerts, and family-friendly events year-round.

That’s why relocating here isn’t just a move—it’s an upgrade in lifestyle.
