If you sometimes wake up and think about how lucky you are to live in the Conejo Valley, you’re not alone. The self-storage deals experts at Hollywood Storage Center of Thousand Oaks aren’t shy about claiming the Conejo Valley is one of the best places to live in the country. While there are plenty of lovely places to live in every state, there are so many benefits we enjoy. On that note, here’s 8 reasons why we think our community is the bomb! What else do you love about living in our community?

Weather

Our near-ideal weather makes living in the Conejo Valley a joy. We have low humidity, highs seldom above 90, moderate lows with no freezing temperatures, and welcome breezes in the summer. Both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara are frequently mentioned as cities with the best weather in the country, and we’re right in between the two. What a perfect place to be!

Safety

In 2020, Thousand Oaks was named by Safety.com as the number one safest city in California. We all take comfort in knowing our community has low violence, few assaults, and very minimal hate crime. Our little SoCal bubble is one we can all be very proud of.

Small Community Feel

Unlike the mammoth metropolis of Los Angeles, the communities in the Conejo Valley have more of a small-town feel. It’s highly likely we’ll run into each other when visiting our local Trader Joe’s. Walking our dog in our neighborhoods can easily turn social. And the Conejo Valley six degrees of separation is stronger than that of Kevin Bacon.

Outdoor Recreation

We often blog about the numerous outdoor activities that we all enjoy in the Conejo Valley. And with our exceptional weather we mentioned earlier, there’s absolutely no reason to get stuck in the house. That’s important because being outdoors can make you healthier and happier. It reduces stress, improves mood, improves focus, helps us heal quicker, and supports graceful aging. So, let’s get out! What do you say to a little goat yoga?

Proximity

Malibu, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles…need we say more?

Industry

The Conejo Valley has been experiencing a biotech boom. Many of our neighbors work at local biotech giants such as Amgen. Westlake Village BioPartners has also been working on a 130,000-square-foot life sciences campus in the Thousand Oaks biotech hub. But biotech isn’t our only thriving industry. Health care and education are also big and include companies such as Anthem Blue Cross, California Lutheran University, and Los Robles Regional Medical Center. Of course, lots of small businesses, including Hollywood Storage Center, also proudly make the Conejo Valley home. Industry is so important to keep our community thriving, so booming businesses are always welcome news!
