Two counties, one community

In 1963 the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company bought the 12,000-acre ranch here and, with Prudential Insurance Company, commissioned a master plan for a new community centered on a lake. In 1968 and 1972, 8,544 acres on the Ventura County side were annexed into Thousand Oaks. In 1981 the Los Angeles County portion, about 3,456 acres, incorporated as the City of Westlake Village. The county line crosses the Westlake Golf Course and the lake itself, so it matters which side of the line a home is on for taxes, city services and schools.

Westlake Lake

Westlake Lake is the centerpiece of the community and lies within the Malibu Creek watershed. It is operated by the Westlake Lake Management Association, a private entity. Searches for Westlake Village homes on the lake are common; lake access and dock rights depend on the specific property and association, so confirm them for any home in writing.

North Ranch

North Ranch is the hillside area around North Ranch Country Club, inside the City of Thousand Oaks, bordering unincorporated Oak Park. It has a mix of attached homes and single-family homes, including custom homes and gated enclaves, under several homeowners associations. Ask for the documents for each association that applies to a specific home.

Lake Sherwood

Lake Sherwood is an unincorporated community in the Santa Monica Mountains, west of Westlake Village and south of Thousand Oaks, in ZIP 91361, with 1,759 residents at the 2020 census. It has about 660 residences: a guard-gated golf-club community around Sherwood Country Club, three electronic-gated communities and lake-view homes along Lake Sherwood Drive. Swimming, fishing, paddleboarding and boating are allowed on the lake. Students attend Conejo Valley Unified schools, including Westlake Elementary, Colina Middle School and Westlake High School.

Hidden Valley

Hidden Valley is an unincorporated equestrian and ranch community in the Santa Monica Mountains between Lake Sherwood and Newbury Park, with single-family homes on parcels of 20 acres or more. Residents rely on private wells for drinking water, which is an important item to check when buying here.

Schools

Most of the City of Westlake Village is in the Las Virgenes Unified School District (White Oak Elementary, Lindero Canyon Middle School and Agoura High School); a southern portion is in the Santa Monica–Malibu Unified School District. The Ventura County side, in the City of Thousand Oaks, is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District. Confirm assignment for a specific address with the district.

Golf, trails and open space

The area has three golf clubs: Westlake Golf Course, Sherwood Country Club and North Ranch Country Club. The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area borders the community.
