Westlake Village, California
Lake views, A+ schools, and 35 miles from Los Angeles. One of Southern California's most coveted addresses.
About the Area
Westlake Village sits at the western edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, straddling the Los Angeles and Ventura County line. It's one of the few places in Southern California where you get a genuine 125-acre private lake, rolling hills, excellent schools, and a 40-minute commute to Century City — all in one zip code.
The community is centered around Westlake Lake, with lakefront homes, private boat docks, and a members-only recreation area. Surrounding neighborhoods range from attainable townhomes to multi-million dollar custom estates with panoramic hilltop views.
Buyers relocating from Los Angeles consistently discover their dollar goes significantly further here without sacrificing quality of life. I've helped many families make exactly that move — and Westlake Village tends to be a community they stay in for decades.

Zac's Market Take
Westlake Village is a selective buyer's market right now. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes — particularly in Foxmoor, First Neighborhood, and Three Springs — still move quickly, often with multiple offers. Overpriced or dated listings are sitting. If you're a buyer, this is a rare window. If you're a seller, pricing strategy is everything. Let's talk about what your home is actually worth today.
