The homes

The lakeside

Lake Sherwood was a lake community long before Westlake Village was planned, and the lots along its shore were among the first subdivided. Lake Sherwood Drive runs along the water, with David Lane and Trentham Road nearby. Most of the original small homes have been replaced, and new houses are still going up. The gated Sherwood Country Club neighborhoods are on the other sides of the lake.

The homes

Every house is different. Recent sales and listings range from about 3,500 to 8,400 square feet, most with four to six bedrooms. A few older homes of under 1,500 square feet remain.

The lake association

Listings show dues of about $1,050 to $1,200 a year for the lake association, which manages the private lake and its facilities. Some homes are also in a smaller neighborhood association. Ask for both sets of documents, and for any dock permit.

Schools

Lake Sherwood is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District. Listings show Westlake Elementary, Colina Middle School and Westlake High School; confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district.

Getting around

Potrero Road runs east to Westlake Boulevard and the 101, about ten minutes away.

What to check

Homes range from decades-old to new, so every inspection is different. Unincorporated Ventura County handles permits here, not a city. On lakefront lots, check the seawall, dock and drainage; on hillside lots, slopes and brush clearance. Get an insurance quote early.
