Renaissance

Renaissance was built in 1997 and 1998 on land at the east end of the Westlake Village master plan, long after the neighborhoods around the lake. It has one gated entrance, on Russell Ranch Road at Renaissance Place. Inside, Salerno Drive runs the length of the community with short courts off it, most named for European cities and regions: Verona, Monaco, Loire, Paloma, Saint Jean, Ferrara, Bayonne, Mayenne, Padova, Paris, Avignon, Grenoble and others. The pool, spa and playground are inside the gate.

The houses are detached but close together, with small private yards. Russell Ranch Park, a City of Westlake Village park, borders the community, and residents can reach it through gates from inside.

There are three plans, all two-story with every bedroom upstairs, a living room with a fireplace and a tall ceiling, a separate dining room, an indoor laundry and two and a half baths. Plan 1 (about 1,459 square feet) has two bedrooms and a loft, Plan 2 (about 1,547) has three bedrooms and a loft, and Plan 3 (about 1,735) has four bedrooms. Many lofts have been enclosed as a bedroom or office.

The most common size is about 1,500 square feet—Plan 2, with three bedrooms and two and a half baths.

Drawings on file for the tract. Other plans, elevations and options may have been offered.

Every home belongs to the Renaissance at Westlake Homeowners Association. Dues have risen steadily, from $83 a month in 2021 to $125 on the 2026 sales, and cover the gate, the pool and spa, the playground, the private streets, guest parking and common landscaping. There is no guard. Read the CC&Rs and the master insurance policy early in escrow to see what the association maintains and insures and what the owner does.

Renaissance is in the Las Virgenes Unified School District: White Oak Elementary, Lindero Canyon Middle School and Agoura High School. Lindero Canyon Middle is close by in Agoura Hills. Confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district.

The Lindero Canyon Road interchange on the 101 is minutes from the gate, and shopping along Russell Ranch Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard is close. Homes on the courts nearest Russell Ranch Road hear the freeway.

At nearly thirty years old, original furnaces, air-conditioning units and water heaters are due or already replaced. Tile roofs last, but the underlayment under them does not. Check window seals for fogging and ask about any enclosed loft’s permit.

Because the homes are so alike, prices move in a narrow band. Three sold through the MLS between December 2025 and July 2026: a 1,502-square-foot home on Salerno Drive for $893,000, a 1,439-square-foot three-bedroom on Paloma Court for $949,900, and a 1,569-square-foot four-bedroom on Sienna Way for $1,049,000. Remodeled four-bedroom Plan 3 homes have sold above $1,150,000.

Westlake Canyon Oaks, a little north on Lindero Canyon Road, has older (1978–81) fee-simple homes on real lots with low dues and no gate, and costs a bit more. First Neighborhood, south of the freeway, has larger 1960s homes on bigger lots with the same schools at a higher price. Renaissance is the newest and least expensive detached, gated option in the City of Westlake Village.
