Moorpark Estates
Moorpark Estates is the common name for Tract 1240, about 109 single-story ranch homes on Shasta, Sierra, Whitney, Diablo and Palomar avenues between Poindexter Avenue and Los Angeles Avenue. Investor's Enterprises, Inc., headed by Charles K. Mason, who was also behind two of the Vista Verde tracts, recorded the map in March 1961, and county records date the houses to that year.
Partly documented: residents and listings use this name, but official records are thin. Corrections are especially welcome.

About Moorpark Estates
Most homes were built at about 1,500 square feet on lots of about 8,000 square feet, and a few have since been enlarged. Sales records show no association dues. Chaparral Middle School and Poindexter Park are a short walk up Poindexter Avenue, and the newer Mountain View homes next door continue the mountain street names. A homeowners association in the Moorpark Highlands also uses the Moorpark Estates name, so check the street address to tell the two apart.

Downtown Moorpark, Moorpark
Downtown Moorpark is the city's original town center. It runs from Charles Street and the High Street rail station south across Los Angeles Avenue to the Arroyo Simi. The townsite was mapped beside the railroad in 1900, and the area filled in over the next century, from early cottages and 1950s tract streets to condo complexes and small-lot communities built since 2000.
