Gated: Westlake Cove Homes
As one of the newest communities in Westlake Village, Westlake Cove has its perks – open floor plans with island kitchens, high ceilings, and lots of natural light to name a few. However the location of Westlake Cove is what really makes it stand out. Right up against the lake in a private secluded neighborhood offers a tranquil lifestyle desired by many. And the easy access to heart of Westlake Village makes for a must see for many buyers.
Westlake Village | The Overview
Curious what it’s really like to live in Westlake Village beyond this neighborhood? From lake lifestyle and dining to schools, pricing, and how it compares to nearby towns, here’s the full local breakdown.
Westlake Cove | Quick Take
One of the newer gated communities in Westlake Village, right up against the lake with open floor plans and high ceilings.
- Lifestyle: Walk the lake, hike Pentachacta Trail, or head next door to the Westlake Athletic Club. Lakeside dining is steps away and the heart of Westlake Village is easy to reach.
- Identity: Built in 1996, Westlake Cove is newer than most comparable communities, which shows in the open kitchens, high ceilings, and natural light. Forty homes tucked against the lake keeps it quiet and tight-knit.
- Trade-off: Parking is tight and yards are minimal. If either is a priority, this isn’t the right fit.
- Bottom line: Best for active retirees and older couples who want newer construction, a lakeside setting, and low maintenance living in a small, quiet community.

WESTLAKE COVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most buyers assume lake-area communities in Westlake Village mean older homes. Westlake Cove was built in the mid-1990s, so the floor plans feel much more modern with higher ceilings, open kitchens, and more natural light than many of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Prices typically run $1M-$1.8M. With only about 40 homes and very few sales most years, inventory is extremely limited. Sometimes just one or two homes a year.
Buyers who want the lake lifestyle without living in a 1970s home often end up here. You’re close to the lake, restaurants, trails, and the Athletic Club, but the homes feel noticeably newer inside.
Many buyers are downsizing from larger homes but aren’t ready to give up modern layouts. Others want to live near the lake without taking on the maintenance or remodeling that often comes with older waterfront communities.
Compared to Northshore or Lakeshore, Westlake Cove offers newer construction and more modern interiors, but without private docks or direct water frontage. Buyers who value updated interiors often prefer Westlake Cove. Buyers whose priority is private docks or true waterfront living usually end up looking elsewhere.
You’re near the lake, not on it. If your goal is stepping out to a private dock or unobstructed lake views, communities like Lakeshore or Northshore may be a better fit. Westlake Cove offers the location and modern homes, but not true waterfront ownership.
