Janss Investment started Conejo Village in the 1950s, and Thousand Oaks grew out from there, with large custom homes later in North Ranch. Across such a range, you may have old masonry or modern metal. We start with which, about 35 miles from Silver Lake and by appointment. Milder than the San Fernando Valley thanks to ocean air, this area still saw homes and chimneys damaged in 1994. Rain from November on shows failed flashing as leaks, and fire reached Hill Canyon at the northern edge in 2018, so check screens there.
