THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (Reuters) - Alicia Wagner says she moved her family six years ago from the affluent Los Angeles-area enclave of Pacific Palisades to the sleepier and more distant Thousand Oaks, in the Santa Monica Mountains, away from urban hustle and bustle.

"We wanted a quieter, more peaceful lifestyle," said Wagner 46, a photo archivist who shares a spacious, two-story home with her husband, Steve Vincent, 55, a Walt Disney Co executive, their five children and two large dogs in the Westlake Village community.
