Thousand Oaks is the site of numerous corporate and regional headquarters, as well as other diverse retail, industrial and business entities. |
| Major corporations include Amgen, Inc., and the Bioscience Division of Baxter Healthcare Corporation, the top two international leaders in the biotechnology field; General Dynamics Corporation and Rockwell Science Center, all leaders in international high technology; Jafra Cosmetics, an international cosmetics company; WellPoint Health Networks, Inc., one of the nation's largest publicly-traded managed care companies; General Motors Regional Office, and Verizon's Regional Office. |
| The rich diversity of businesses in our City provides the area with a strong and stable economic foundation. In addition, retail, corporate and industrial entities give community members a variety of local employment opportunities. Thousand Oaks is also home to many entrepreneurs and welcomes small business to the area. Sales tax represents the largest source of revenue to the City and the business community is, therefore, a very important component of the City's financial well being. |
| The Thousand Oaks primary shopping market has a current population of 320,000 and includes the cities of Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Camarillo, Moorpark and Calabasas along with the adjacent unincorporated areas. The median household income of the Thousand Oaks market is more than $86,000 (2002 study by the University of California, Santa Barbara). |
| The retail buying market area is approaching $2.4 billion, evidenced by the continued strength of The Oaks Shopping Center, Janss Marketplace, the world's largest auto mall, and other shopping venues in the market area. |
| The Oaks Shopping Center includes three major anchor stores: Macy's, Robinsons-May and J.C. Penney, plus 150 high-quality shops, a food court and a movie theater. The Janss Marketplace, a smaller regional shopping center, also has three anchor stores: Mervyn's, Sears and Toys-R-Us, a food court and a 9-screen cineplex and is adding a number of regional and national stores to its mix. Additionally, national brand stores not represented in Southern California continue to seek locations in Thousand Oaks to showcase their new West Coast presence. |
| Numerous smaller shopping centers, such as The Promenade at Westlake and North Ranch, also offer shopping choices. Residents and visitors enjoy fine dining at many local restaurants while many hotels, such as the Westlake Hyatt, offer luxury accommodations. For more information contact the City's Economic Development Manager Gary Wartik at (805) 449-2135 or email him at gwartik@toaks.org. |

| Thousand Oaks |
| Thousand Oaks is home to Amgen Inc., the largest biotechnology company in the world and the county's largest private employer. The economy is strong and includes dot-coms and other technology firms. At the same time, people repeatedly look for ways to preserve the community's rural past. |
| The city is surrounded by a ring of open space, and local groups and the city continue to buy more land to save it from development. There are hiking trails in residential neighborhoods. |
| In some areas, people still keep horses in their back yards. And longtime residents remember Jungleland, where movie studios kept their large animal performers. Family-owned businesses and their simple storefronts have a strong presence along Thousand Oaks Boulevard. |
| But the specialty chains in The Promenade at Westlake and The Oaks shopping centers on either end of the main street are the greater draw. So the city and private landowners have plans to spruce up the area in the middle. Some of the smaller businesses fear they won't survive the retail Darwinism as the area improves and rents rise. |

| Agoura Hills |
| Good schools, low crime, lots of open space: Those are the virtues residents of Agoura Hills brag about when asked about their city near Los Angeles. It's close enough to Los Angeles without having to live in it. Yet it retains a rural spirit. |
| To that end, it has mountains to hike or bike through and 80 acres in six parks ranging from small neighborhood parks to an equestrian center. City recreational services provide something for everyone from toddlers to seniors. If it gets too hot, the beach is a 15-minute drive away. |
| Located in the Santa Monica Mountains foothills just 30 minutes from urban centers, the city sits among oak-covered canyons and rolling hillsides. |
| The community, which bills itself as "The Gateway to the Santa Monica National Recreation Area," sits along the Highway 101 corridor at the western edge of Los Angeles County, giving its more than 21,000 residents easy access to urban entertainment and cultural activities and nearby beaches and open spaces. |
| Vital statistics |
| Location: 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles |
| Origin of name: The community's name was chosen in 1928 to honor early settler Pierre Agoura, but through misspelling or for ease of pronunciation, the Postal Service changed it to Agoura. It became Agoura Hills with the city's incorporation. |
| ZIP code: 91309 |

| Simi Valley |
| Located at the edge of eastern Ventura County encircled by beautiful hills, Simi Valley is a haven away from the congestion of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles County. |
| "Everything is convenient. It's clean, safe and quiet," says 53-year-old Jerry Wolfe, who moved from Los Angeles to Simi Valley five years ago. "It's just pleasant. It's got a small-town feel. It's close to Los Angeles, but not too close." |
| Joyce Loftin, 63, moved from the San Fernando Valley 13 years ago for the same reasons. "I am always happy to come over that hill on the 118," she says. "We have lots of wonderful parks in the city -- parks and activities for every age." |
| Simi Valley is consistently rated one of the safest cities in the nation. It's the home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum and Corriganville Park, once known for being the backdrop of many western movies. |
| Vital statistics |
| Location: 27 miles east of Ventura |
| Origin of name: The name comes from an Indian word, meaning place, village or region. In August 1795, Spanish missionaries referred to the area as the Valley of Simi. The first post office was Simiopolis, a name used in promotional material for a planned development in the late 1880s. The post office name was changed to Simi a few months later and became Simi Valley when the city incorporated in 1969. |
