Short version: Westlake Village heads into fall 2026 with a Public Safety Fair on September 16, ongoing Pure Water Project construction along Agoura Road, a fresh Fire Risk Reduction Community certification that can matter to your homeowners insurance, and a real-estate market that quietly gets more rational once the summer traffic clears out. Here is the detail.
Events in Westlake Village this fall
The city runs a small but consistently well-executed events program out of the Community Park and Berniece Bennett Park.
- Public Safety Fair & Touch-A-Truck — Wednesday, September 16, 5–7 p.m. at Westlake Village Community Park. LA County Fire, the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station and other local partners set up so you can ask emergency-preparedness questions in person. Plenty of trucks for kids to climb in. Free.
- Concert in the Park — the summer series closed out on August 29 at Berniece Bennett Park with the Surf City AllStars playing Beach Boys material. Worth noting for next summer if you missed it.
- The Honor Tree — dedicated in June 2026 at the Civic Center, with six branches for the six branches of the U.S. military and a flag wrapping the trunk. It illuminates from within at night. If you have not walked over to see it, do it on a fall evening.
- City meetings — City Council meets September 9 and again September 30 (special date), with the Cultural Recreation Advisory Board on September 3 and October 1. Land Use, Environmental and Public Safety committees all meet in September. These are open, and if you own property here they are more interesting than they sound.

Road work: what to plan around
Pure Water Project on Agoura Road
This is the one that affects daily driving. As part of the Las Virgenes–Triunfo Pure Water Project, crews began potholing work on westbound Agoura Road between Lindero Canyon Road and Lakeview Road starting in mid-August, working roughly 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for about four to six weeks. Expect construction activity, temporary lane closures and traffic shifts. No full roadway closures are planned during this phase, and access to businesses and driveways is being maintained.
The part to actually mark on your calendar: extended closures are anticipated later this year when crews move from potholing to pipeline installation. The city has said additional information will be provided in advance. Questions go to the project outreach team at (818) 245-4440.
Earlier in the summer, related construction ran along Lindero Canyon Road beginning June 1 and continued to Lakeview Canyon Road, Triunfo Canyon Road and Agoura Road, with completion targeted for the end of August.
Lakeview Canyon Road Complete Street Project
Still in design, with construction expected in the 2026/2027 window. When it happens it will meaningfully change the corridor: four travel lanes reduced to two, lane widths narrowed to 10 feet to calm speeds, sidewalks on both sides, expanded parkways with drought-tolerant landscaping, and protected Class IV bike lanes separated by raised medians. Estimated cost is about $7.4 million, partially funded through state, county and local sources including LA County Measure M. Parking is preserved along portions of the west side on Sundays and holidays, and the design was developed in consultation with the fire department.
Thousand Oaks Boulevard median transformation
The city secured a $777,000 grant with the Department of Water Resources and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District to pull non-functional ornamental turf out of the Thousand Oaks Boulevard medians and replace it with low-water planting, while protecting the existing tree canopy. Planning and design phase now; timeline to come.
The fire-safety story that affects your insurance
Westlake Village has been recognized by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection as a Fire Risk Reduction Community, with the 2026 certification adopted July 1, 2026. The city cites three benefits: better access to fire-prevention funding, formal recognition of its preparedness work, and lower homeowners insurance rates.
I bring this up constantly with buyers, because insurance has become one of the genuine friction points in escrow across our whole area. If you are shopping for coverage on a Westlake Village property, the designation is worth naming explicitly to your carrier or broker. It does not guarantee anything, but it is a real, citable data point and most people do not know it exists.
The city’s vegetation program is also part of that story — including the goats. Each summer, herds graze targeted open-space areas around Canyon Oaks Park and the dog park, coordinated with LA County Fire so the work finishes before the August 1 deadline. I wrote a full explainer on the goat program, because it is the single most-asked-about thing in this city.
Retail and dining changes
Locally, Crumbl Cookies closed at The Shoppes at Westlake Village. Just over the line, Malibu Brewing Company opened a new Agoura Hills location in late August, Jon & Vinny’s opened in Calabasas, and Erewhon opened at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks — all within an easy drive.
What fall means for the Westlake Village market
Fall here is not a slowdown so much as a filter. The spring rush brings out everyone, including buyers who are three years from actually transacting. By late October the people still touring homes on a Sunday afternoon have generally seen everything on the market, know what things trade for, and are ready to move. Fewer showings, higher-quality showings.
For sellers, the tradeoff is straightforward: less competition on the shelf, but less tolerance for an ambitious price. In a thin market a well-prepared, correctly priced home can do very well and a mispriced one just sits and accumulates days on market going into the holidays, which is the worst outcome. If you are considering a fall listing, the prep work matters more than the timing.
For buyers, the underappreciated advantage is negotiating room on homes that have been listed since summer. Sellers who have carried a listing through August tend to be measurably more flexible in October.
One practical note specific to Westlake Village: because the city straddles the Los Angeles–Ventura county line, the address alone does not tell you the school district, the county services, or in some cases the tax picture. I cover that in why Westlake Village spans two counties.
What the Westlake Village housing market actually looks like heading into fall 2026
Westlake Village is the highest-priced of the five core Conejo Valley markets and, right now, the slowest-moving. The median single-family sale price from January 1 through August 24, 2026 was $1,900,000 across 119 closings — more sales than 2025 (106) and 2024 (94), at a median about 4% below the 2025 high of $1,986,750 and roughly 3% above 2023.
| Westlake Village — single-family, Jan 1 to Aug 24 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homes closed | 123 | 94 | 106 | 119 |
| Median sale price | $1,850,000 | $1,823,750 | $1,986,750 | $1,900,000 |
| Average sale price | $2,299,104 | $2,525,129 | $2,434,399 | $2,463,267 |
| Avg. days on market (sold) | 44 | 50 | 59 | 57 |
| Sale-to-list ratio | 99% | 99% | 98% | 97% |
Inventory is the tighter half of the story. There were 42 single-family homes listed here on August 24, 2026, down from 58 on the same date a year earlier. Against 158 closings over the trailing twelve months, that works out to about 3.2 months of supply.
Two numbers are worth sitting with if you are thinking about listing. Average days on market for sold homes has moved from 44 days in 2023 to 57 in 2026, and the sale-to-list ratio has slipped from 99% to 97% — the lowest of the five cities. In practical terms, the market is still absorbing homes, but it is negotiating more, and it is taking about two extra weeks to do it than it did three years ago.
Autumn amplifies that. Homes that sold during the fall 2025 window averaged 72 days on market, the longest fall figure of any city in the valley, versus 59 days for homes sold January through August of that year. Fall closings also swing hard here on a small base: 54 in fall 2024, then 24 in fall 2025.
| Westlake Village — single-family, Sep 1 to Nov 30 (the fall window) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homes closed | 35 | 40 | 54 | 24 |
| Median sale price | $1,550,000 | $1,667,500 | $1,875,000 | $1,675,000 |
| Avg. days on market (sold) | 46 | 50 | 65 | 72 |
