Welcome to Westlake Village
Considered the heart and soul of Conejo Valley
Westlake is slowly but steadily gaining popularity as a place for artists and young families to reside, while remaining close to the downtown area. This neighborhood attracts history, art, and culinary enthusiasts, as well as a wealth of outstanding restaurants and entertainment options. Westlake was one of Los Angeles' original residential areas, and by the 1900s, it had become affluent, comparable to Manhattan's Upper East Side. Housing would have been largely mansions, and the inhabitants would have enjoyed an immaculate MacArthur Park, which was previously renowned as Los Angeles' Champs-Élysées. The area is made up of a mix of antique and contemporary apartment buildings, bungalows, and charming hillside residences with amazing views of downtown and Los Angeles.

Things to Do
Only a few places in Southern California provide the opportunity to go sailing on a private lake and then play golf at one of three local courses and one of them is Westlake Village. The Westlake Golf Course is a simple course to walk for exercise or ride in carts for a relaxing day. A 40-stall night illuminated driving range, pro shop, snack bar, friendly fully stocked bar, nine teaching professionals, and a practice putting and chipping green are just a few of the amenities available at Westlake Golf Course.
One of Westlake's most appealing features is its culture, which includes historic MacArthur Park, Filipinotown, Lafayette Park, and Temple-Beaudry. While many of these historic landmarks have been overlooked for decades, the region is slowly being revitalized.
