Gated: Westlake Island Homes

The lakefront lifestyle is the culmination of the best attributes of living in Westlake Village. Behind the guarded gates lies a unique neighborhood like no other in the area. Each home has its own private dock to store your boat when you’re not cruising around the lake or dining lakeside at one of the three fine restaurants. The central location offers quick and easy access to local shops & dining which balances nicely with the peacefulness and privacy the island lifestyle provides.

What's To Love

Character and charm that doesn’t exist in many other places. Where else can you wake up and be greeted by lake views from a bay window? Each home has individuality – from updated and modern to a blank canvas to make it your own. Fourth of July is truly a community celebration as neighbors gather on their boats and watch the fireworks in the sky.

What's Not To Love

Living on the Island doesn’t come cheap and limited land makes each dollar count. Young families looking for a big yard and lots of other neighborhood kids may want to look elsewhere. Plan on having some remodel money on hand as many of the homes are stuck in past decades.

Who Should Look Here

The Island is often a landing point for those who have “made it” and want something different than the ordinary four bedroom house with a pool at the end of a cul-de-sac. Your typical neighbor is likely a retiree or a younger professional who has the time to enjoy a truly unique and entertaining house in a safe and secluded neighborhood.
