The homes

The tract

Lake Sherwood was a small lake community for decades before the country club and gated neighborhoods were built around it. The Upson Tract, subdivided in the 1920s, is its oldest section. Some original cabins remain; others have been replaced.

The lake association

There is no neighborhood association. Homes belong to the Lake Sherwood lake association, which manages the private lake. Ask for its current dues and rules in escrow.

Schools

Upson 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.

What to check

A home from the 1930s may have original foundations, wiring and plumbing, and additions made over decades may not have permits. Ventura County handles permits here. A thorough inspection and a survey are worth doing.
