Gated: North Shore Homes
North Shore holds some clout in Lake Sherwood as one of its premier gated communities. There’s a lot of space in these floor plans with many being tri-level. Enter into the main living area then head upstairs for the master bedroom. Lastly, downstairs is a handful of more bedrooms plus an additional living space – not a bad place to stash your teens or in-laws.

NORTH SHORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most buyers confuse North Shore Homes with Northshore in Westlake Village. They’re completely different communities. North Shore is a gated Lake Sherwood neighborhood of mid-1990s single-family homes with lake rights and a much more private setting.
Prices typically run $2M-$3M. The range reflects differences in lot position, views, and condition. Homes with the best lake and hill views command a meaningful premium.
Residents have access to Lake Sherwood for kayaking and non-motorized boating. It’s a private lake, which means no public access and a quieter, more exclusive experience than what you’d find at Westlake Lake. For buyers who want that kind of access, it’s one of the harder things to find anywhere in the area.
Many homes here are tri-level, which means a lot of stairs. The lower level works naturally as a space for older kids, in-laws, or guests, but buyers with young children or anyone who needs single-level living should think carefully before falling in love with the community. It’s a layout that works very well for the right family and not at all for others.
Both are gated Lake Sherwood communities, but they feel different. The Meadows is newer and more uniform. North Shore Homes offers lake rights and more dramatic views, but with a tri-level layout that limits who it works for. Buyers usually end up choosing based on the layout and how much the lake access matters to them.
Buyers looking at North Shore Homes usually aren’t just shopping for a house, they’re choosing a different lifestyle. Lake Sherwood offers more privacy, less traffic, and access to a private lake. Westlake Village offers more walkability and everyday convenience. The right choice depends on which lifestyle fits better.
Families with older children, multigenerational households, and buyers who value privacy tend to be the best fit. The tri-level layout, gated setting, and lake access appeal to people looking for something quite different from central Westlake Village.
The tri-level layout is the one that eliminates the most buyers. The stairs work for some families and genuinely don’t for others. Beyond that, Lake Sherwood is quieter and more removed than Westlake Village. Buyers who want to be close to the action will find it a longer drive than they expect.
