A peaceful bastion of quiet elegance and private estates
Cool, calm, and collected – Westlake Village is like a glamorous Old Hollywood film star, a refined Hitchcock blonde with effortless style and impossibly elegant taste.

Bordering Thousand Oaks and situated about 40 minutes from downtown LA, Westlake Village is a beacon of tony relaxation and breezy serenity. The well-heeled denizens cherish the quiet life, and while they could easily hop over the hill to Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, most days, they simply don’t have the need. The culinary scene and cultural offerings in their own backyard are as sumptuous and refined as anything the City of Angels can provide, sans the traffic and noise. Westlake Village real estate is as glittering as the landscape, with Mediterranean and Spanish-style architecture and an endless array of luxe amenities.
