Southshore (The Shores) | Quick Take
True lakefront living in Westlake Village. The kind most people spend years working toward and rarely leave.
- Lifestyle: Tree-lined streets, stunning lake views, and a private dock to boat to any of the three waterfront restaurants. Quiet, and genuinely on the water.
- Identity: About 100 homes built across four decades, ranging from move-in ready to top-to-bottom projects. That span is what creates the price range, and the opportunity.
- Trade-off: The gap between the best and the rest here is significant. A lakefront address doesn’t equate to a turnkey home, and some listings need real work underneath updated surfaces.
- Bottom line: Best for buyers who’ve decided lake living is the goal, and are ready to evaluate each home on its own terms.

What's To Love
The peace and tranquility that comes with living waterfront is hard to find – even being this close to the pacific coast. We love the relaxation this quiet community offers.
What's Not To Love
Not all homes are created equal and living on the lake doesn’t come without a hefty price tag. There’s a wide gap between the relatively new move-in ready, and those that need a top-to- bottom remodel.
Who Should Look Here
Let’s be honest, you probably already know if lake living is for you. For most people, lake living didn’t happen by accident. It was a goal achieved by hard work and finding the right home to capture a lifestyle that’s hard to beat.

THE SHORES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most buyers assume a lakefront address means a turnkey home. The Shores includes homes built across four decades, and the difference between a fully remodeled home and a major renovation project can be substantial. The lake is the constant. The homes are not.
Prices typically run $2M-$5M+. The range is wide because condition, lot position, water frontage, and dock access all drive value independently. Two homes at similar square footage can be in completely different categories.
No. The neighborhood includes both true waterfront homes with private docks and homes that are set back from the lake. There’s a significant difference in both lifestyle and price, so it’s important to understand exactly where a property sits before comparing it to another home in The Shores.
Living here means the lake becomes part of your daily routine instead of something you drive to. Morning paddleboarding, boating to dinner, evenings on the dock, and lake views from home are all part of why buyers are willing to pay a premium for true waterfront ownership.
Built between the late 1960s and 2008, so there’s genuine variety. Some have been beautifully remodeled, others are largely original, and some carry updates that don’t hold up on closer inspection. Evaluating condition carefully. not just the listing photos, is essential at this price point.
Both offer private docks and true lakefront living, but they feel different. Windward Shores is generally newer and more consistent from home to home. The Shores has much more variety in architecture, age, and condition. Buyers who enjoy having more options often prefer The Shores, while those looking for greater consistency may lean toward Windward Shores.
Most buyers have already looked at other lake communities and decided they want true waterfront living. Many have been watching for the right home for months because inventory is limited and they know exactly what they’re waiting for.
Condition variance. A lakefront address in The Shores doesn’t come with a guarantee about what’s inside. Some homes are exceptional, others need significant investment. Buyers who do their homework on condition and walk in with realistic expectations tend to fare much better than those who fall in love with the address first.
