Gated: The Colony Duplexes
Affordable and gated don’t often go together in Westlake Village, but the Colony homes are just that. The duplex homes have a unique Cape Cod style and feel that you don’t often find in Westlake Village. A private pool/spa & tennis court add to the neighborhood’s appeal. And the central location to local shops & dining is the icing on the cake.
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.
The Colony | Quick Take
Gated, Cape Cod-style duplexes in the heart of Westlake Village, with a price that’s still within reach.
- Lifestyle: The Shoppes, Westlake Lake, and Stonehaus are all close by, the library is next door, and Wade’s Wines is across the street. A private pool, spa, and tennis court round it out.
- Identity: Gated and affordable don’t usually go together in Westlake Village, but The Colony pulls it off. The Cape Cod style is also a different look than most of what’s around it.
- Trade-off: These are tri-level layouts with no two-story option, so it won’t work for everyone. Kitchens and yards are on the smaller side, and freeway noise can be an issue for some units.
- Bottom line: A good fit for younger families and singles who want a gated, central Westlake Village location and don’t mind a tri-level floor plan.

The Colony Floor Plans
What's To Love
The Shoppes, Westlake Lake, and The Stonehaus Winery (aka The Best of Westlake Village) are all just a short ways away. If you have a reader in the family, the local library is right next door. And last but not least, Wade’s Wines is literally across the street. If you don’t know it yet, chances are, you will.
What's Not To Love
The tri-level layout won’t work for everyone and there is no two story option if it doesn’t. Freeway noise can be an issue if you’re sensitive to it. Don’t expect a grand kitchen or large yard, but if a kitchen nook and quaint patio is all you need, then these homes may work for you.
Who Should Look Here
The Tri-level layout lends itself to younger families and singles (or newly single). Your typical neighbor is likely a mix of families with school age kids with some singles sprinkled in there. If you’re looking to land in Westlake Village at a more affordable price, then this neighborhood is worth a look.

THE COLONY DUPLEXES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
People assume gated communities in Westlake Village come at a steep premium. The Colony is one of the few gated options at this price, and the Cape Cod style gives it a different look than most duplex communities in the area.
Prices typically run $800k-$1M. With around 120 homes and a handful of sales most years, there’s usually some inventory to choose from compared to smaller communities nearby.
Every home here is tri-level, and there’s no two-story option. It works well for a lot of buyers, but if stairs are a dealbreaker or you’re picturing a more traditional layout, this isn’t the community for that.
It can be, depending on the unit. Some homes are more exposed to it than others, so it’s worth checking in person before you commit, especially if you’re sensitive to noise.
Younger families and singles make up most of the interest, often a mix of families with school-age kids and people in transition. The gated, central location is the main draw.
Layout and size. The tri-level floor plan won’t suit everyone, and kitchens and yards run on the smaller side. If you’re after a grand kitchen or a large yard, look elsewhere, but if a kitchen nook and a quaint patio work for you, it’s worth a closer look.
