Westlake Village was master-planned from 1963, when the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, controlled by Daniel K. Ludwig, bought roughly 12,000 acres straddling the Los Angeles–Ventura county line and, with Prudential Insurance, commissioned A. C. Martin and Associates to lay out a city in the country around a lake that did not yet exist. The dam was built between 1966 and 1969 at about $3.5 million, creating a 125-acre lake with more than eight miles of shoreline. Ludwig formed the Westlake Lake Management Association in 1968 and handed it to the homeowners around the water in 1974.

Westshore came a decade after that, in 1979, and it belongs to the later phase of the plan rather than the first. By then the big detached tracts of the 1960s were finished and the shoreline was being filled in with attached housing that put more homes on the water than single-family lots could: Lakeshore on the east shore in 1967 to 1969, Northshore on the north bank in 1973, Windward Shores in 1973 and 1976, and Westshore on the west. The pattern is consistent across all of them — small private footprints, shared greenbelt, an association that maintains the exteriors, and a row of homes that front the water directly while the rest sit behind on the green.

What distinguishes Westshore from its cousins is the mix. Lakeshore and Northshore are essentially single-level patio-home tracts. Westshore was sold with four plans of which two are single-level and two are two-story, the two-story ones concentrated on Westshore Lane where the ground drops to the water, and that split still governs the price range in the tract today. The merchant builder marketed the homes simply as Westshore Homes; the company behind that name is not confirmed in any public source Gary Jacobs has been able to verify, and the recorded final map for Tract 2560 at the Ventura County Recorder is the document that would settle it.

The sheets below are reproduced from the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors plan archive and were printed without square footages, which is unusual and worth knowing: the sizes in the market today come from county and MLS records rather than from the brochure. They are marketing plans rather than construction documents, and the archive is what survives rather than a complete builder record, so other plans, elevations and options may have been offered. Two features run through all four: an interior service room holding the washer, dryer, furnace and water heater between the house and the garage, and an entry court or atrium that brings light into the middle of the plan.

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

Matching the drawings to the market: the single-level Plans 1 and 2 are the 1,540, 1,626 and 1,706-square-foot homes that make up most of Wimbledon Circle, Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive and the inland end of Westshore Lane, and they are the ones recorded as one story. The two-story Plans 3 and 4 are the 1,870 and 2,051-square-foot homes, recorded in the MLS as two and three levels, and they cluster on the water side of Westshore Lane where the lot falls away toward the lake. A buyer who wants one level should be searching the first group; a buyer who wants the water and does not mind stairs should be searching the second.

Westshore Lane carries 42 of the 78 homes and every one of the tract’s high sales. It runs along the shore, and its listings are the ones that describe a deck over the water, private stairs down to the water’s edge, main-channel views and, on the assessor’s record, a lake influence on the parcel. The four sales above $1.5 million in the last four years are all on this street. Wimbledon Circle carries 19 homes and is the entry point to the tract: the 1,540-square-foot two-bedroom plan sold there at $749,000 in 2020 and $840,000 to $1,099,000 since. Clippers Circle has nine homes and Center Court Drive eight, both of them 1,626-square-foot three-bedroom single-level plans that have traded from $950,000 to $1,112,500.

One note for anyone reading county records: the Ventura County address file carries Clippers Circle under two spellings, Clipper and Clippers, and the school district index and every listing use Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive. The same duplication inflates the apparent home count if it is not caught, which is why the number in this guide is 78 rather than the 89 a raw address list produces when Basswood Court and the duplicate spellings are included.

The homes are attached in clusters with garages to the drive and living space turned to the greenbelt or the water. Private outdoor space is a patio or a deck rather than a yard: the parcel footprints run from about 1,330 to 2,130 square feet, and the greenbelt, the walking paths, the guest parking and the pool and spa belong to the association.

The first reason is the combination. Westshore is one of very few communities in Westlake Village that offers single-level living and lake frontage inside the same tract, and one of very few where the same association covers an $840,000 home and a $1.7 million one. A downsizer who wants one level, a two-car garage and the water within a walk can have it on Wimbledon or Center Court for a fraction of what the shore costs; a buyer who wants the deck over the lake can have that on Westshore Lane. The second is the plan. All four plans put the washer, dryer, furnace and water heater in an interior service room between the house and the garage, and all four bring light into the middle of the house through an entry court or atrium, which is why these homes feel larger than 1,540 to 2,051 square feet.

The third is what the dues carry: exterior and landscape maintenance, trash and earthquake insurance, the last of which is worth having on a lakefront building. The fourth is the schools, the same three as the detached tracts. And the fifth is the record. Westshore’s single-level homes trade above the $785,000 median for attached one-storey homes across Westlake Village, North Ranch and Lake Sherwood, which is what a 1,626-square-foot three-bedroom plan a walk from the water is worth in this market and a reasonable measure of how it holds value.

The dues have followed the same path as every attached community of this age in this insurance market. Listings show $590 a month in 2020, $668 to $686 through 2023 and 2024, and $723 to $771 in 2025 and into 2026 — up roughly a quarter in five years. The fee reported in listings covers exterior and landscape maintenance, trash and earthquake insurance, which is the line item that explains most of the increase and is genuinely worth having on a lakefront building. Amenities that appear in the MLS records for the tract are a pool, an in-ground spa, greenbelt and walking paths, guest parking and a dock.

The management company is the one thing a buyer should not take from any published source, including this guide. The City of Thousand Oaks association map records Tandem Property Management, a division of Lyons Management, at (805) 494-4990. A 2023 listing names Seabreeze. A Realtor-board directory last updated in 2019 names Lordon Management. Any of those may be right today; escrow will produce the answer, and the same document set will answer the questions that matter more — the reserve study, the insurance certificate, the owner-occupancy ratio and whether any special assessment has been discussed. No special assessment appears in any public record Gary has found, which is not the same as there being none.

The dock deserves its own sentence. MLS amenity fields for the tract list a dock, individual Westshore Lane listings describe private water access and stairs to the shore, and one lease listing on the street advertised a private boat dock with a boat included. What is not published anywhere is a roster of which tracts hold Westlake Lake Management Association membership; the lake association’s rules describe district associations that own and maintain docks under permit, with one boat per owned lot, but they do not name Westshore. A buyer whose purchase depends on lake use or a dock should get that in writing from the lake association before removing contingencies, not from a listing.

Westshore is in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and the district’s street index assigns all four streets — Westshore Lane, Wimbledon Circle, Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive — to Westlake Elementary, Colina Middle School and Westlake High School. The assignment is uniform across the tract with no split. Westlake Elementary is a little under a mile away and Westlake High about a mile and a half; Colina Middle is the longer trip at about two and a half miles. Families should verify the assignment for a specific address with the district before relying on it.

The everyday amenity in Westshore is the lake, and how much of it a household gets depends on the street. On Westshore Lane the water is at the bottom of the deck or down a private flight of stairs, and the association lists a dock among its amenities; on Wimbledon Circle, Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive the lake is a short walk along the greenbelt paths, seen rather than owned. Either way the pool, the spa, the greenbelt and the walking paths are in the dues, and the private footprint of each home — about 1,330 to 2,130 square feet, a patio or a deck rather than a yard — means the shared green is where the tract lives outdoors.

Beyond the boundary the tract sits off Triunfo Canyon Road on the west shore, on the Thousand Oaks side of the county line. The lake’s public edge at the Landing, with its restaurants and the path along the water, is a short drive around the shore, and the open-space trail system that rings the Conejo Valley and the parks run by the Conejo Recreation and Park District are minutes away by car. This guide does not claim a park or a trailhead within walking distance, because the record it works from does not establish one.

Westshore hangs off Triunfo Canyon Road, which runs along the lake to Westlake Boulevard and, from there, to the 101 and the commercial centers of Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks along the corridor. The four streets inside the tract are internal — Westshore Lane along the shore, Wimbledon Circle, Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive behind it — and none is a through route, so traffic inside is residents and their guests. Every home has an attached two-car garage to the drive, with guest parking on the association’s greenbelt.

Errands are short. Groceries, pharmacies, banks and the medical offices that cluster along the 101 corridor are a few minutes away by car, and the lake-front restaurants at the Landing are a short drive around the shore. Westlake Elementary is a little under a mile and Westlake High about a mile and a half; Colina Middle is the longer trip at about two and a half miles. For a household with a boat, the practical question is not the drive but the dock, and that is answered by the lake association rather than the map.

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 May 2026, nine homes in the tract sold through the MLS, at prices from $840,000 to $1,725,000 and a median of $1,100,000. The seventeen sales on record since 2020 sort almost perfectly by street and plan. The top four are all two-story homes on Westshore Lane: 2,051 square feet at $1,785,000 in October 2023 and $1,750,000 that June, 1,870 square feet at $1,725,000 in August 2025, and 2,051 square feet at $1,600,000 in October 2025. Below them come the single-level homes at $950,000 to $1,200,000 — 1,626 square feet on Westshore Lane at $1,200,000 in May 2025, on Clippers Circle at $1,112,500 that November, on Center Court Drive at $950,000 and $970,000. The floor of the tract is the 1,540-square-foot two-bedroom plan on Wimbledon Circle: $749,000 in August 2020, $840,000 in January 2025, $1,099,000 in May 2026.

The median across all seventeen is $1,100,000. What the spread really measures is water and stairs. A two-story home on the lake side of Westshore Lane has sold for roughly $600,000 to $800,000 more than a single-level home of similar age and association a hundred yards behind it, and the gap has held through every phase of the last six years. For a buyer that means the choice between one level and the water is a real financial decision rather than a preference; for a seller on Westshore Lane it means the listing photographs need to be taken from the water, and for a seller on Wimbledon or Center Court it means the comparison that sets the price is the other single-level homes in the tract, not the lakefront sale everyone remembers.

For context outside the tract: across Westlake Village, North Ranch and Lake Sherwood over the last two years, attached one-story homes sold at a median $785,000 and about $617 a square foot. Westshore’s single-level homes trade above that, which is what lake proximity, the schools and a 1,626-square-foot three-bedroom floor plan are worth in this market.

This trips up buyers and agents alike, so it is worth stating plainly. The MLS carries a second subdivision called Westshore Knolls, tract 730, and it is not part of Westshore. It is eleven detached houses on Basswood Court, built in 1977, on lots of about 6,000 to 11,200 square feet — three to five times the private footprint of a Westshore home. The plan sheets in the Realtor association archive are headed “West Shore Knolls in Village Homes,” and listings on Basswood Court name the Village Homes Property Owners Association, managed by the Emmons Company, with dues reported at $192 and $260 per quarter rather than per month, covering the Village Homes clubhouse, pool and tennis courts. A 2,711-square-foot five-bedroom on Basswood sold for $1,380,000 in January 2024.

Its five plans, also in the archive, are a different kind of house: Plan 1800 and Plan 1995R are single-story family plans with a den and a view kitchen; Plan 2530, Plan 2768R and Plan 3000 are two-story, the last with a spiral staircase to a library loft, a sunken living room under exposed beams and four bedrooms upstairs. A buyer who wants a detached house with a yard in this corner of Westlake Village should be looking at Basswood Court and at Village Homes generally; a buyer who wants the lake and an association that maintains the outside should be looking at Westshore. They are neighbours, they share four letters of a name, and almost nothing else.

These homes reached forty-five years old in 2024. On unrenovated units of this era and construction, inspectors in the Conejo Valley commonly report original copper supply lines and cast-iron drains, aluminum-frame single-pane windows and sliders, period electrical panels, and original furnaces and water heaters in the interior service room. Each home is different and only a licensed inspector on the specific unit can say what is actually there. On the lakefront homes there is a second inspection to arrange: the deck, any stairs to the water, the seawall or bank, and the dock itself are separate items and a dock contractor is a different trade from a home inspector.

Because these are condominiums, the division between owner and association — roof, exterior walls, decks, the plumbing inside the walls, the slab — is set by the CC&Rs and is not the same in every Westlake association. Read that section before the inspection so the inspector can be pointed at the right things. On the remodel side, the record says the money is in the kitchen, the baths, the floors and the glass, and in nothing that changes the footprint. The atrium in Plans 1 and 2 is the feature most often reworked, sometimes enclosed and sometimes replanted, and any change to it, to an exterior wall, to a window or to a patio enclosure will need the association’s architectural approval.

Westshore leases, and the record shows it: at least one lease listing on Westshore Lane has advertised a private boat dock with a boat included, which is the kind of tenancy that does not exist in the inland tracts. No rent figure is stable enough in the MLS sources this guide draws on to quote, so a current number should come from the leasing agents who work these four streets; what can be said is that a lakefront two-storey home and a single-level three-bedroom on the greenbelt are two different rental products at two different prices, and that the association maintaining the exterior and carrying earthquake cover takes most of the maintenance calls off a landlord’s desk.

Two checks come first. The CC&Rs, which in many Conejo Valley associations set a minimum lease term and may cap the share of rented homes; nothing in the public record says whether Westshore does, and the documents produced in escrow are the only reliable answer. And the owner-occupancy ratio on the association’s certification, which governs which lenders will write a loan here and on what terms. A landlord on Westshore Lane should add a third: whether the lake and dock rights a tenant will expect to use actually run with the home, confirmed in writing with the Westlake Lake Management Association rather than taken from a listing.

Start with the water, if the water is why you are buying. Westshore Lane homes describe private stairs, decks over the lake and a dock among the amenities, but no published roster says which tracts hold Westlake Lake Management Association membership, so lake use, a boat and a dock permit must be confirmed in writing with the lake association before contingencies come off. A lakefront home also needs a second inspection — the deck, the stairs, the seawall or bank and the dock are a different trade from a home inspector.

Then the management. Three sources name three different companies, and a buyer should take the answer from escrow, together with the reserve study, the insurance certificate, the owner-occupancy ratio and any minutes that mention a special assessment. Then the dues, up about a quarter in five years to $723 to $771 a month, with earthquake cover the line that explains most of it; model them rising. Then the house. These homes turned forty-five in 2024 and unrenovated units carry the systems of 1979 — original supply lines and cast-iron drains, single-pane aluminium windows and sliders, period panels, original furnaces and water heaters in the service room. Then the stairs: the 1,870 and 2,051-square-foot plans on the water side are two and three levels, so the lake and one level do not come together in the same home. Finally, the name. Westshore Knolls on Basswood Court is a different place with different dues, a different association and detached houses, and a comparable pulled from it will misprice a Westshore home badly.

Two buyers, for two different tracts that happen to share an association. On the shore, the lake buyer: a household that wants a deck over the water, private steps to the edge and a boat, is prepared to pay $1.6 million and up for it, and does not mind two or three levels. Behind the shore, the downsizer: an owner leaving a larger Conejo Valley house who wants one level, a two-car garage, an atrium plan and the lake a walk away at $950,000 to $1.2 million, and who has looked at Northshore and Lakeshore and found the same product at a similar price with a different view.

Families come third, drawn by the three-bedroom single-level plans and the schools, and investors fourth, for the reasons set out under leasing. What a seller should take from all this is that the buyer for a Westshore Lane home is comparing to the other lakefront sales and to Windward Shores, not to the rest of the tract, and the buyer for a Wimbledon or Center Court home is comparing to the other single-level sales and to Northshore, not to the lakefront sale everyone remembers.

The natural comparisons are the other attached shoreline tracts from the same phase of the master plan. Northshore, 1973, is attached single-storey patio homes of roughly 1,144 to 1,765 square feet on the north bank, at a median of about $1.13 million since 2024 — the same product as Westshore’s single-level plans at a similar price, a decade older and without the two-storey lakefront tier. Lakeshore on the east shore is the same idea again. Windward Shores, 1973 and 1976, is detached homes of roughly 1,600 to 2,400 square feet at a median of about $2.17 million, and it is where a Westshore Lane buyer who wants a detached lakefront house goes next.

Inland, Stoneybrook, 1979 as well, is 118 attached homes of 1,835 to 2,752 square feet with two single-level plans, at $795,000 to $1,675,000 and dues of $720 that carry the roof and the paint; it is what a Westshore buyer who wants more house and does not need the lake should see. Village Glen and Village Greens are the entry to the same side of the lake at medians of $770,000 and $550,000. Westlake Island, at $2.8 to $3.25 million on recent sales, is a different market. And Westshore Knolls on Basswood Court, eleven detached 1977 houses in the Village Homes association, is a neighbour that shares four letters of the name and nothing else.

Neighbor figures are taken from the corresponding Westlake Village guides on this site and reflect the periods stated there; each guide gives its sources.

For a buyer, decide first which of the two Westshores you are buying — the shore or the green — because the comparables, the inspections and the questions are different. On Westshore Lane, get the lake and dock position in writing from the Westlake Lake Management Association and book a dock contractor alongside the home inspector. On every street, ask escrow for the CC&Rs and read the maintenance section first, then the reserve study, the insurance certificate, the owner-occupancy ratio and any minutes that mention a special assessment, and take the management company’s name from that packet and nowhere else. Read the plan off the square footage — 1,540, 1,626 and 1,706 are the single-level plans, 1,870 and 2,051 the two-storey ones — and search Clippers Circle and Center Court Drive under the spellings the listings use.

For a seller on Westshore Lane, the photographs are taken from the water, the comparable is the other lakefront sales at $1.6 to $1.79 million, and the listing should say plainly what the home’s position on the lake and the dock actually is, because the buyer will check. For a seller on Wimbledon, Clippers or Center Court, the comparable is the other single-level sales at $950,000 to $1.2 million, not the lakefront number, and the kitchen, the baths, the floors and the glass are where the money returns; leave the footprint alone and get architectural approval before touching the atrium, an exterior wall, a window or a patio enclosure. On any street, make sure the listing does not say Westshore Knolls.
