Westshore Knolls belongs to the 1970s building on the Ventura County side of Westlake Village. The county recorded its 25 houses in Tract 1967-02, the same recorded tract as the much larger Village Homes; the MLS separates it as Westshore Knolls-730. The one house sold since 2020 was built in 1977.

The builder is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify. What listings do carry is the association amenity list, a clubhouse, tennis courts and a greenbelt, with dues of $260 a quarter, the same figure Foxridge listings report nearby.

One sale is too thin a record to describe the plans, so this guide does not try. It was $1,380,000 on Basswood Court in January 2024 for a 2,711-square-foot five-bedroom from 1977. No plan sheet for Westshore Knolls is in the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors archive that this guide series draws on, so there is no drawing to reproduce. County records give the range across all 25 houses as 1,858 to 3,012 square feet.

Basswood Court has 11 of the 25 houses, Hartglen Avenue 9 and Lindengrove Street 5. The one recorded sale was on Basswood Court. Lots run from 0.14 to 0.26 acre in county records.

The first reason is the size of the tract, 25 houses on three streets. The second is the association: a clubhouse and tennis courts for $260 a quarter. The third is the house, which at a median of about 2,540 square feet is larger than most of the older tracts nearby.

The January 2024 listing reported dues of $260 a quarter and listed a clubhouse, tennis courts and a greenbelt. The figure matches what Foxridge listings report nearby, which suggests a shared association; which association it is, and what membership includes, is a question for the disclosure package.

What the association covers and what the CC&Rs restrict is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify. Take the budget, the reserve study, the insurance certificate and the CC&Rs from the seller’s disclosure package, read the minutes for any special assessment or litigation, and confirm the current fee with the manager before removing a contingency.

Westshore Knolls is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and Westlake High School is the high school for this side of Westlake Village. Elementary and middle school assignments depend on the address, so confirm them with the district’s school locator before writing an offer.

Daily life here runs on the same places as the rest of the lake side of Westlake Village: Westlake Lake and its shoreline walk, the neighborhood parks, and the shops and restaurants along Westlake Boulevard and Agoura Road. Trailheads into the hills south of Triunfo Canyon Road are a short drive.

Westlake Boulevard and Lindero Canyon Road both reach the Ventura Freeway in a few minutes. The drive to the Westside is forty minutes on a good day and ninety on a bad one, the same as from anywhere in the Conejo Valley.

The figures in this section were current when this guide was last reviewed. The sale record in the facts above and the listings below are drawn live from the MLS each time the page loads.

No home in the tract has sold through the MLS in the last two years; the most recent recorded sale was $1,380,000 on Basswood Court in January 2024 for a 2,711-square-foot five-bedroom from 1977. The record since March 2020 holds one sale: $1,380,000 on Basswood Court in January 2024 for a 2,711-square-foot five-bedroom from 1977.

One sale in six years is not a market, it is a data point: $1,380,000 in January 2024, after 76 days on the market, for a five-bedroom of 2,711 square feet with a pool. For a current value the better guide is the neighboring tracts of the same age, and Gary Jacobs can set a given house against them.

No lease is recorded in the MLS sources this guide draws on, so it does not quote a rent. In a tract this small, leases are occasional and mostly private.

These are late-1970s houses, and the inspection carries the list for that era: original supply lines and electrical panels of brands insurers now flag, single-pane aluminum windows where not replaced, original furnaces and ductwork, and roofs and sewer laterals at or past end of life. Pools of this age often have original equipment and plaster. None of this is unusual; all of it is negotiable if it is found before the contingency comes off rather than after.

In a tract of this era the remodels that return their cost are the ones that bring the original plan to the way people live now: the kitchen opened to the family room, the primary bath and closet, the floors and the glass, and the pool brought up to date. What does not return its cost is the addition that pushes the house past what the street will support.

The comparison is the small tracts nearby. Foxridge, 1976 and 1977, is about 65 houses with the same $260 quarterly dues and six sales since 2020 at a median of $1,275,000. Village Homes is the large 1970s tract that shares the recorded tract number. Majestic Oaks, next door, is gated houses from 2002 to 2006 at higher prices. Westshore Knolls is the smallest of them, and its one sale sits in the Foxridge range.

Start with the house: a late-1970s building, inspected for its age, with the permit history pulled from the City of Thousand Oaks. Then the association: which one it is, what the $260 a quarter covers, and the reserves. Then patience, because one house has sold here in six years.

Move-up buyers first, who want a four- or five-bedroom house with association tennis and a clubhouse. Buyers already in the neighborhood second, since in a tract of 25 most sales are known locally before they are public.

For a buyer, brief the inspector for a late-1970s house and take the association budget, reserve study and CC&Rs from the disclosure package. Confirm the school assignment for the exact address.

For a seller, there is one comparable inside the tract, so the comparables are in Foxridge and Village Homes. Price to the square footage and the condition, and name the association amenities in the first lines of the listing.
