Westlake Village is a city located in Los Angeles County. This city located in the Conejo Valley is known for its affluence and secluded character, and is considered one of the wealthier communities in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
Westlake Village is a planned community built around an artificial lake straddling the Los Angeles-Ventura county line; it is a master-planned suburb of lakeside condos and suburban homes. Like neighboring Agoura Hills and Thousand Oaks, its mix of safe streets, good schools, picturesque hillsides, hiking and equestrian trails attract residents seeking serenity.
Much of Westlake Village is surrounded by open space, including hiking and horse trails, as well as the vast Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The town borders the Malibu hills, and is nine miles (14 km) inland from the Pacific Ocean. Coastal breezes seep through canyons to allow Westlake to stay up to 10 degrees cooler and than nearby San Fernando Valley during the summer months.
In 2006, the Four Seasons opened a luxury hotel and WellBeing Health Resort in Westlake Village. And in 2007, YogaWorks opened an eco-friendly membership-only yoga center.
