Gated: Kensington Park Townhomes
Kensington Park is a distinct neighborhood in the North Ranch section of Westlake Village. It has a unique, balanced feel between seclusion and accessibility. The gated duplex community gives the sense of privacy, yet plenty of shopping centers and restaurants are walking distance from the main gate.
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.
Kensington Park | Quick Take
Gated duplex living in North Ranch with a creek behind it and dinner walkable from the front gate.
- Lifestyle: Step out the north gate and walk to dinner. Step out the south gate and walk it off at the park. A natural creek runs along the back of the community and winding streets give it more character than most gated communities at this price.
- Identity: Early-90s builds in North Ranch at a price that still has some room compared to the larger estates nearby. Duplex layout means one shared wall and a more house-like feel than a stacked townhome.
- Trade-off: HOA are on the higher end, and some units need some updating.
- Bottom line: Best for couples and downsizers who want gated North Ranch living, genuine walkability, and a quieter setting without taking on a large estate.

What's To Love
The winding streets, curb appeal and the natural creek that backs the neighborhood are all worthy of some love. And the location – step outside the north gates to walk to dinner and have some drinks. Step out the south gate and walk off that dinner at the local park.
What's Not To Love
HOA fees are steep compared to similar neighborhoods. Budget some updating money too.
Who Should Look Here
Your typical neighbors are couples lured by the communities’ relaxed vibe and easy walkability. Downsizers (often from estate size homes) looking for lower maintenance homes to free up travel and family time find Kensington the place to be.

KENSINGTON PARK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most buyers assume North Ranch means quiet but car-dependent. Kensington Park is one of the exceptions. From the north gate you can walk to restaurants and shopping, while the south gate opens toward a neighborhood park. It’s one of the more walkable gated communities in this part of Westlake Village.
Prices typically run $1M-$1.5M. With only about 50 homes and a handful of sales most years, inventory is limited and buyers may have to wait for the right unit.
The creek, mature trees, and winding streets give Kensington Park a softer, more established feel than many gated communities. Buyers are often surprised that it feels more like a traditional neighborhood than a townhome development.
The HOA is higher than many comparable townhome communities, so it’s important to include it in your monthly budget from the beginning. Buyers should understand what’s covered and decide whether the amenities and maintenance justify the cost for their lifestyle.
Both are small gated communities, but they appeal to slightly different buyers. Meadow Oaks offers larger homes and a stronger North Ranch feel, while Kensington Park stands out for its walkability and more intimate setting. Which fits better depends on whether location or square footage is the priority.
Many buyers are downsizing from larger homes in North Ranch and want to stay in the area without the maintenance of a large property. Others are drawn to the combination of gated privacy and walkability, which is harder to find than most people realize.
Condition varies more than many buyers expect. Some homes have been beautifully remodeled while others are largely original, so two homes at similar price points can feel completely different. It’s worth paying as much attention to updates as you do to the floor plan.
