ABOUTWESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA
Westlake Village is located on the western edge of Los Angeles County, approximately 40 miles
from downtown LA. Despite its proximity to bustling Hollywood, Westlake Village itself is a quiet little community, nestled in between the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains. The city is located less than 10 miles off the coast, and this proximity to the ocean breeze helps to keep Westlake Village cool in the summer months.
Though it is a small region, the area is home to six parks: Berniece Bennett (home of the Saturday in the Park concert series), Canyon Oaks, Foxfield, Three Springs, Westlake
Community Park (home to eight acres of lighted athletic fields and a skate park) and Russell Ranch Park (named for Russell Ranch, where Gunsmoke and Bonanza were filmed). Additionally, Westlake Village Dog Park offers a gated area for dogs to play and socialize off-leash. The nearby Santa Monica Mountains also offer a number of beautiful hiking trails accessible from Westlake Village, including Chesebro Canyon, Pentachaeta, Malibu Creek State Park and Wildwood Park.
Westlake Village is home to a number of notable athletic and entertainment personalities, including: Wayne Gretzky,
Hulk Hogan, Martin Lawrence, Heather Locklear, Maureen McCormick, Will Smith and Guillermo del Toro.
Students in Westlake Village are typically served by the Conejo Valley Unified School District or the Las Virgenes Unified School District, both of which offer highly rated academic programs. There are also a number of private schools in the area, including Carden Conejo School, Oaks Christian School and Malibu Cove Private. Institutes of higher education that are near Westlake V illage include Pepperdine University, Moorpark College and California Lutheran University.
