Westlake Village

Nine miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, this exclusive and acclaimed planned community is largely centered on the 125 acre lake for which it is named. This exclusive suburb straddles the Los Angeles-Ventura County line with a wide range of homes from small cottage-like single-story townhomes to gated lakefront properties on the popular Westlake Island. This model community was conceived by prominent architects and land planners who created walking paths through many of the areas that lead to parks and open space. A controlled-growth policy has kept this area charming and elegant; all while maintaining environmentally-conscious policies that have been in place nearly since the city’s inception.

Lake Sherwood

When first seeing Sherwood, it’s natural to feel transported back in time to an era of pastoral beauty where majestic hills overlook lush valleys and the pristine Lake Sherwood. Sherwood blends its rich film history from the 1920’s, when the film “Robin Hood” gave the area its name, with the exquisite golf course development which draws celebrity and CEO alike. The valley and the lake have had many owners, from William Randolph Hearst during the great depression, to billionaire owner of Dole Foods, David Murdock.

Agoura Hills

Just 30 minutes northwest of Los Angeles, Agoura Hills is rooted in early California history. First settled by the native-American Chumash and later colonized by the Franciscan missionaries in the late 18th Century, the heart of Fr. Serra’s El Camino Real was established right here.
