Westlake Village is a small lakeside city straddling the Los Angeles and Ventura County border, about 37 miles northwest of downtown LA. Daily life here revolves around the 125-acre Westlake Lake at the city's center, tree-lined residential streets, and a compact dining and shopping scene along Agoura Road and Lindero Canyon Road. The city has a relaxed atmosphere, even as Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, and the broader San Fernando Valley stay easily reachable.
Rental options range from apartment and townhome rental communities with shared amenities to ranch-style and contemporary single-family rental homes. Architectural styles lean toward stucco facades, tile roofs with Spanish influences, and two-story ranch designs with large front-facing windows.
California Lutheran University sits about 10 miles away, and Pepperdine University is within 16 miles.
