Discover the community
History
Westlake Village began as part of a master-planned community in the late 1960s, designed to combine residential, commercial, and natural spaces harmoniously. Once part of a sprawling cattle ranch, the area transformed into one of Southern California’s most desirable suburbs. The city officially incorporated in 1981 and has maintained its reputation for thoughtful development, strong community spirit, and commitment to preserving its beautiful open space.
Vibe
Westlake Village is polished but never pretentious. Neighbors greet each other on morning walks around the lake, and weekends bring brunches, golf games, and local wine tastings. It’s a place where families, professionals, and retirees all feel at home. The pace is calm yet lively — a perfect blend of suburban ease and resort-style sophistication.
Activities and attractions
Spend the afternoon kayaking or walking around Westlake Lake, hike the scenic trails in Triunfo Canyon Park, or enjoy a spa day and shopping spree at The Promenade at Westlake. Food lovers will find everything from cozy cafés to fine dining with lakeside views. For culture and community events, the Westlake Village Civic Center hosts concerts, farmers markets, and family-friendly gatherings throughout the year.
