What Does a Typical Office Cost to Rent in Thousand Oaks?

September 23, 2025
"What Does a Typical Office Cost to Rent in Thousand Oaks?"

One of the first things that a new business does is look for office space – a storefront of desk of some kind where they can see clients, make copies, and otherwise manage their business.

Yet, most businesses do not really need an office. Service based businesses (pest control, roofing, landscaping), B2B, even services like insurance and marketing – many of these take place almost entirely remotely, with rare face to face contact and almost no in-person unscheduled visitors. People do not walk into insurance agencies anymore. They do not knock on the door of a marketing company. They do not look for door signs of architects or real estate agents.

Most businesses simply do not need to pay rent on a full time office space. They do not need to buy or lease a commercial property.

Instead, what they need is something more versatile – a place they can see clients, or receive mail, and use as their home base, but where they can otherwise work from home or on location – but where they do not need to pay rent as though they’re working there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Offices can be expensive, especially here in Thousand Oaks and throughout Southern California. Let’s look at the cost of an office in the region, and then talk about the alternative options of virtual offices and part time shared coworker spaces.

Average Office Rental Rates

On average, office space in Thousand Oaks costs around $30 per square foot per year. Smaller or older spaces may rent for closer to $22 per square foot per year, while modern or Class A spaces in prime locations can rent for $35 or more per square foot per year.

That means:

  • A small 1,000 square foot office could cost between $22,000 and $35,000 per year in base rent.
  • A mid-size 5,000 square foot office could cost between $110,000 and $175,000 per year.
  • Larger, premium offices may cost significantly more, especially when utilities and maintenance are added.

Commercial properties cost more to rent, on average, than even residential properties. That means that if you’re looking to rent one, you have to be able to prove that the business you create by having an office is worth more than the price of the office.

Why Costs Matter for Small Businesses

For many small businesses and startups, the cost of a traditional office can be more than they need. Expenses don’t stop at base rent — utilities, furniture, maintenance, and long lease commitments add up quickly.

This is why options like virtual offices and coworking spaces have become popular in Thousand Oaks. They provide professional space and business support without the high costs and long-term obligations of a traditional lease.

A Practical Approach

If you are considering office space in Thousand Oaks, it is helpful to think about your actual needs. Businesses that only require a mailing address, occasional meeting rooms, or flexible desks may find that coworking or virtual offices are a much more cost-effective solution compared to renting a full office suite.

Addresses and “Near Me” Searches – How An Address is Needed for Digital Marketing

August 16, 2025
"Addresses and “Near Me” Searches – How An Address is Needed for Digital Marketing"

Many, many businesses now operate remotely. Even before COVID, many small businesses were using their homes as their home base and visiting customers or clients elsewhere when in-person work was needed. Since COVID, that has become even more common now that services like Zoom have become more routine.

Most of the time, this doesn’t create any problems. But it does with Google. “Google now features its maps listing right at the top of their search engines,” says Micah, owner of Great Leap Studios, a digital marketing agency, “if you’re looking for a service, the first results that show up are going to be local, and sometimes even based on distance from your location, even if you don’t require an immediately local company.”

If you don’t have an address, then you will not show up locally in Google Maps, which means that you are missing out on all the people that are seeking your services in your local area. “You can put your home address,” says Micah “but then people will have your home address. Many websites also use Google Maps data, which means your address will also be posted in other directories that may make it difficult to remove.”

Search and Near Me

When people use Google these days, they don’t just search for a word like “therapist” or “window company.” They usually add the words “near me.” They search for “contractor near me” or “dentist near me.”

Any time you do a “near me” search, Google Maps will always be the first to show up in a square in Google Search called “Places.” Google’s AI – along with other chatbots, like ChatGPT – also try to integrate location data into their response results.

You need an address, and ideally you need a professional business address you can use to:

  • Get mail.
  • Meet people.
  • Share publicly with others.
  • Change if you need to change it.

That’s our goal here at OfficeLOCALE in Thousand Oaks, CA. We provide you with a professional business address that also offers private offices, meeting rooms, storage, and more, so that you have an office without actually having an office – a virtual office in Southern California to manage your business’s requirements.

Our space has additional services as well, including printing, live receptionists, and more, but the primary goal is to make sure that you have an address that you can call your own for any need, and that includes your digital marketing and Google search presence.

If you are not yet ready for your own office building, but you need a professional address so that you manage your business, improve your Google search placement, and keep people away from your home address, you need OfficeLOCALE. Sign up today or contact us with questions.

Why Every Remote Company Needs a Professional Address

July 29, 2025
"Why Every Remote Company Needs a Professional Address"

OfficeLocale is a virtual coworking space. That means that we offer everything your business could need as if it had its own storefront, such as:

  • Addresses for you to get your mail.
  • Offices and private meeting rooms for rent if you need to hold a meeting.
  • Print on demand, and more.

These days, many businesses start from a garage or a room in a house. Fewer and fewer people are leasing office spaces, and many people are working remotely from the comfort of their own home.

The problem, however, is that many businesses, services, and people need addresses. Not necessarily to operate a business, but because many of today’s business services require an address – and especially one that is not a person’s home. For example:

Google Maps and Google Business

Every business, even those that offer nationwide services, is more likely to grow remotely first. It’s why so many companies start in places like LA and San Francisco, because they know that they need a local presence to grow their national one.

Google understands this. They put Google Maps listings (known as “Google Business” listings in the marketing world) right there in their search results, so if you search for a term related to your business, you get local results first.

So you can – and want to – show up locally. The only problem is that you need an address. You can, in theory, put a general “service area” but search engines typically refuse to put someone in there unless you have a physical address. OfficeLocale can provide that address in Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park.

Privacy

Similarly, when you don’t have a professional address, then your personal address is usually the one that is available online and in public records. That can be a significant privacy concern, especially as your business grows. If you would like privacy, then you also need to make sure that you’re address is not the one that shows up first when people are researching your business.

Professionalism

At times, you’re going to share your address with others – either intentionally or unintentionally. People are more likely to trust companies that have physical addresses of some kind, because they believe it adds legitimacy. If you are using a home address, they may feel you’re too small or, even worse, a scam. But a business address gives the impression that you are a bigger, more trustworthy, more established company.

General Support

It helps to have an address you can send people to for them to mail you checks, or to visit for meetings, or to stop in if you need to see people in person. No one wants to get all that at their house, but if you have a business address, you have a place you can send people that is away from your home and designed around your business needs.

At OfficeLocale, we are here to help. We have two locations – one in Newbury Park, CA, one in Thousand Oaks, CA, both of which are here to help you manage your business away from your home. Come visit us today, or reach out with any questions.
