Tucked into the heart of Thousand Oaks, Shadow Oaks traces its roots to the early 1960s, when the Janss Corporation transformed rolling ranchland into a thoughtfully planned suburban community. The neighborhood was designed to blend comfortable mid-century homes with the natural beauty of oak-studded hills and peaceful, tree-lined streets.

Just steps from your front door lies the beloved Conejo Community Park—also known as Dover–Hendrix or Hendrix Park—a 38-acre haven that has been at the heart of local life since its development in the early 1970s. This park offers a picnic-friendly landscape dotted with majestic oaks, sports fields, disc-golf, racquetball courts, a playground with modern equipment, and winding trails—a space where every generation gathers.

What truly distinguishes Shadow Oaks is the beloved Summer Concerts in the Park held each Memorial Day through Labor Day. Held in the park’s natural amphitheater, these free, family-friendly concerts feature popular tribute bands—like Journey, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Dave Matthews Band, and Lynyrd Skynyrd—from 5 to 7 PM. Attendees bring blankets and chairs while enjoying gourmet food trucks and a vibrant community atmosphere. It’s a seasonal tradition that warmly reflects Shadow Oaks’ strong, connected spirit.

Today, Shadow Oaks remains a peaceful, welcoming neighborhood steeped in community pride. Quiet evenings bring neighbors together for strolls, Little League games, or impromptu front‑yard conversations. Weekends are often filled with parkside concerts, picnics under the oaks, and gatherings that bond generations. Its ease of freeway access, proximity to shopping and civic amenities, and vibrant sense of belonging make Shadow Oaks more than just a place to live—it’s a neighborhood to call home.
