Description

Westlake Village – with its centerpiece lake providing a natural sanctuary for a picnic, a nature walk, or an early morning jog – is an ideal place to create your own version of the ideal Southern California lifestyle. The scenic lake itself provides eight miles of beautiful shoreline and 125 acres of water for boating and fishing, and the neighborhoods in the area are exquisitely maintained, with even the roadway medians showcasing colorful flowers and green foliage. The vibrant community is known for its elegant homes, excellent schools, and commitment to sustainable conservation of its natural assets.

A few minutes from town are the gentle hills and lovely canyons of the expansive Cheseboro and Palo Comado park. It’s a splendid terrain for hikers, bikers, and Equestrians, and you can stroll to Sulphur Springs or hike to Simi Peak for breathtaking vistas. The old-growth oaks and sedimentary rocks are also a habitat for diverse wildlife. Other outdoor destinations include Triunfo Creek Park, Lake Eleanor Sentinel, and Juan Bautista de Anza Park.

Local culinary choices are fabulous, ranging from Coin & Candor, specializing in locally sourced ingredients cooked over a wood fire; the Japanese restaurant ONYX; Finney’s Crafthouse with 50 made-from-scratch dishes, craft beer, and patio dining; and Casa Nostra Ristorante – serving classic Italian in a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Plus Westlake Village is a quick commute to the gorgeous beaches of Malibu, Topanga State Park, the San Fernando Valley, or downtown L.A. That makes it one of the most desirable places in Southern California for families, young professionals, and retirees alike.
