Three streets inside the gate: Vista Oaks Way, which carries most of the sales, and the shorter Heather Oaks Lane and Verde Ridge Lane. The lots run from about 13,400 to 25,500 square feet, median 15,500, which is a third of an acre and up; the larger ones are at the ends of the lanes. With forty houses and one entrance there is no through traffic, and the greenbelt and sport court sit inside the gate.

The record shows plans in the 3,600- to 4,300-square-foot range for most of the tract, one 4,785-square-foot five-bedroom, and a 5,469-square-foot five-bedroom on Vista Oaks Way that is the largest and the highest sale. Six of the seven recorded sales are two story; the single story is a 3,817-square-foot four-bedroom on Heather Oaks Lane that sold for $3,150,000 in May 2023 on the largest lot in the record, which says what buyers pay for one level on a big lot here.

No plan sheet for Bridgehaven is in the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors archive that this guide series draws on, so there is no drawing to reproduce. The sale record shows homes of 3,604 to 5,469 square feet, median 4,226, with five bedrooms in five of the seven, four in two, and one of the seven recorded sales is single story.

The first reason is the combination that is hard to find in Westlake Village: a large 1990s house, a third of an acre or more, a gate, and a fee that is a fraction of the guard-gated tracts. The second is the scale: forty houses behind one gate is a neighborhood where people know each other. The third is the North Ranch side’s convenience, with the shopping at Lindero Canyon and Kanan a few minutes away and the freeway just past it. The fourth is Westlake High and the Conejo Valley district.

Listings report the fee at $315–$370 a month, and every sale since August 2024 reported $370. The fee carries the gate, the private streets, the greenbelt, the picnic area and the sport court, and an architectural review of exteriors.

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.

Ventura County side of Westlake Village, inside the City of Thousand Oaks, so Conejo Valley Unified: Westlake Elementary or Westlake Hills Elementary, Colina Middle School and Westlake High School are the assignments listings give for this side. Confirm the exact address with the district locator; the county line is also the district line, and it runs through the middle of the community.

Westlake Village runs on the lake and the promenade: the Landing and the Westlake Village Inn on the water, the shops and restaurants along Agoura Road and Westlake Boulevard, the YMCA, the community park, and Triunfo Creek and the Santa Monica Mountains trails within a few minutes. The Ventura Freeway crosses the middle of the community, and most tracts are five minutes from an on-ramp; the drive to the Westside is the same forty minutes to ninety it is from anywhere in the Conejo Valley.

The Ventura Freeway is the spine of the Conejo Valley, and this tract is a few minutes from an on-ramp. Errands are along Agoura Road, Westlake Boulevard and Lindero Canyon Road; the Westside is forty minutes on a good day and ninety on a bad one, and a buyer who commutes should time it at 7:30 in the morning before deciding.

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.

In the two years through June 2025, three homes in the tract sold through the MLS, at prices from $2,470,000 to $2,815,000 and a median of $2,510,000. Over the longer record since September 2020, seven sales ran from $2,200,000 to $3,241,000 with a median of $2,510,000. The top of the record is $3,241,000 on Vista Oaks Way in August 2024 for a 5,469-square-foot five-bedroom; $3,150,000 on Heather Oaks Lane in May 2023 for a 3,817-square-foot four-bedroom. The bottom is $2,250,000 on Heather Oaks Lane in September 2020; $2,200,000 on Vista Oaks Way in January 2023. Single-story homes account for one of the seven sales, at a median of $3,150,000.

The shape of the six years is the same as the rest of the Conejo Valley: sharp appreciation from 2020 into 2022 and a band since, with the premium inside the band going to the plan, the lot, the view and the renovation. A record this short should be read as a range rather than a trend; Gary Jacobs keeps the full sale-by-sale history and can say where a given house sits in it.

No lease is recorded in the MLS sources this guide draws on, so it does not quote a rent for Bridgehaven; a current figure should come from the leasing agents who work these streets. Each association’s leasing rules — minimum terms, caps, pet rules — should be read before buying as an investment.

These homes date from 1991 to 1999, and the inspection carries the 1990s list: original systems at end of life, tile-roof underlayment approaching the end of its span, failed dual-pane seals, and for 1990 to 1994 the possibility of polybutylene supply lines. Slope lots add drainage and retaining-wall questions that a general inspector will flag but a geotechnical engineer should answer; 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 a 1990s 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, on the right lot, the pool. What does not return its cost is the addition that pushes the house past what the street will support; the record shows the top sales are renovated versions of the original plans on the better lots, not the biggest houses.

The comparison is the other gated tracts on the North Ranch side and the estate tracts of the Los Angeles County side. Majestic Oaks, 2002 to 2006 on Hartglen Avenue, is the closest match: a few years newer, similar sizes, lots to two-thirds of an acre, at a median of $2,300,000 with a fee near $430 a month. North Ranch’s Signature Collection, 2000 to 2023, is 4,000- to 5,700-square-foot houses at a median of $2,241,500. Sycamore Canyon, 2002 to 2003 on the Los Angeles County side, is 4,200- to 4,600-square-foot houses behind a guard gate at a median of $2,677,000 with a fee near $630 a month. Bridgehaven trades at the top of that group on a per-house basis, for the lot size.

Start with inventory, because there is almost none: seven sales in six years. A buyer who wants Bridgehaven should decide what it is worth in advance and be ready. Then the lot, which the record prices: the two top sales are on the two largest lots. Then the association package, from the disclosures. Then the house, with the inspector briefed on the 1990s list; the 1991 houses and the 1999 houses are not the same age and should not be inspected the same way.

Families moving up inside the Conejo Valley first, for the fifth bedroom, the lot and the gate. Buyers comparing the gated tracts of the North Ranch side second, who choose Bridgehaven for the fee and the lot size. Downsizers rarely, because there is one single-story plan in the record and it does not come up often.

For a buyer, read the plan off the square footage and the level, take the association package from the disclosures before the inspection, and brief the inspector for the 1990s. Pull the permit history of any addition, pool or converted garage from the county. Confirm the school assignment for the exact address.

For a seller, the comparable is the same plan and level, and the top of the record — $3,241,000 — is the renovated house on the better lot. Price to the record for the plan, say the association fee and the school assignment in the first lines of the listing, and let the condition argue for the top of the band.

Bridgehaven is a late arrival in Westlake Village. The master plan of the 1960s filled the lake basin and the first hillsides through the 1970s, and the North Ranch side north of the freeway through the 1980s; the small gated tracts on the last ridges came in the 1990s, and Bridgehaven, built from 1991 to 1999 in the recorded sales, is one of them. It sits on the Ventura County side, which puts it inside the City of Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley Unified district while carrying a Westlake Village mailing address.

The developer is not confirmed in any source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify, and this guide does not guess. What the sale record shows is a tract of about forty large houses, four- and five-bedroom plans of 3,600 to 5,500 square feet on lots of 13,400 to 25,500, behind a single gate, with a greenbelt, a picnic area and a sport court carried in the listings as the common amenities.
