The Thousand Oaks Eichlers were built in 1964-1967 and featured both sloped-roof and A-frame homes designed by two of Eichler’s preferred architectural firms, Jones & Emmons and Claude Oakland. The homes range from 1809 square feet to 3093 square feet. All the Eichler homes in Thousand Oaks are atrium models except the “Gallery” model (VC 34) with 4 - 5 bedrooms, 2 baths and/or a carport and garage.
The first Eichler homes in Thousand Oaks were advertised as “Eichler Homes In Conejo Village”. The newer portion of the development was marketed as expo/west.
