The Charter Oaks Apartment complex is tucked away on a side street off Wilbur Rd in a beautiful area of Thousand Oaks. The location is in close proximity to open space without being too far off the beaten track. Studded with many gorgeous trees, the property is beautifully landscaped. It's a short walk to the Oaks Mall. Hiking trails and The Conejo Botanical Gardens are nearby.
Our 2 bed/1 bath unit has large floor to ceiling windows that let in lots of natural light. We enjoy beautiful views
...of Fireworks hill. The overall layout of our apartment is okay but closet space is really limited. The master bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king sized bed, but not much more than that. I do like that the apartment features gas heat and a gas stove. However, the walls in our unit are really thin!!! Neighbors can easily be heard talking through the walls and their sound systems vibrate vociferously throughout our apartment. Sometimes having a “quiet living space” can be difficult to achieve at Charter Oaks.
During our 10 years renting at Charter Oaks, I’ve found the Management to be helpful, friendly and responsive. Maintenance issues are usually resolved quickly. The landscaping maintenance crews are the best! They work hard to keep the common areas immaculate and they plant seasonal flowers year round for our community to enjoy. However, Charter Oaks is changing: in addition to the expensive rental renewal increases, management has begun invoicing tenants monthly for all of the utility expenses. The parking lots are louder than they used to be with more people in their cars socializing/listening to loud music. Sometimes these people are Charter Oaks residents, but others are definitely not connected to our community. Individuals that don’t appear to be residents are frequenting the property; it's difficult to tell who actually lives in some of the units. And there is a proposal pending at City Hall to build a 3-story, 146-unit (157 bed) assisted living facility directly behind our apartment complex. If this project is approved, there could be significant impacts to our community including the loss of open space on Fireworks hill.
Charter Oaks rentals are expensive but the property is lovely and management is responsive to its tenants. It can be a great spot to call home in our beautiful city of Thousand Oaks.
