Oak Park is a small suburb of Los Angeles just outside the county line and into Ventura county. While running around looking at homes for sale and speaking with the locals who are feeling a panic about the recent media claims that the market is falling, I realized that if everyone would just calm down and stop selling their homes in a panic…there wouldn’t be a reason to panic and home prices would not fall. Not in this area…anyway. This is a popular area because of the schools and the family “neighborhood” feeling. Most who live here love the local shops and the kids playing in the playgrounds, people who say hello to each other and the lack of the hussel and bussel of the big city that is so close you can spit on it and the traffic from the freeways that are a way to get to the big city where many work…and look forward to coming home to this neighborhood.
