Home / Neighborhood Guide / Westlake Village / Summershore Condos For families, the school pipeline from Westlake Elementary through Westlake High is one of the primary value drivers of the entire Summershore community.

Is Summershore Condos family-friendly?

Very much so. The greenbelts, the on-site pool, the proximity to the lake path, and the access to CVUSD schools make it genuinely workable for families with children. The three-bedroom floor plans at 1,364 square feet are tight by single-family standards but functional for a family of three or four. Many residents raise kids here through elementary and middle school, then move into a larger home if they need more space at the high school stage.

How close is Summershore Condos to the 101 Freeway?

Approximately 1.5 miles via Lindero Canyon Road, which flows directly to the Lindero Canyon on-ramp. The drive from your front door to freeway entry takes roughly three to five minutes in normal conditions, making this one of the more freeway-convenient locations in Westlake Village proper.

What is the commute to Los Angeles from Summershore Condos?

Plan on 45 to 60 minutes to reach the Westside under normal conditions via the 101 to the 405 or surface streets. Against traffic during peak hours, the drive to Century City or Santa Monica can stretch to 75 to 90 minutes. Many Summershore residents are hybrid or fully remote workers who make the commute two or three days per week at off-peak times, which is entirely manageable. Metrolink's Moorpark station, accessible in about 15 minutes, provides a no-drive alternative for downtown Los Angeles commuters.

What is the difference between Summershore and other Westlake Village condos?

The primary differentiators are location and price. Very few Westlake Village condo communities sit within genuine walking distance of the lake shoreline and The Landing's restaurant corridor. Summershore also benefits from direct-access garages on many units, which is uncommon in condo stock at this price range. Comparable communities at similar or slightly higher price points tend to be further from the water and the walkable core of the city.

Are pets allowed at Summershore Condos?

Generally yes, but HOA pet policies carry specific rules around size limits and registration. Confirm current pet restrictions directly with the HOA before purchasing if this matters to you. In practice, the community has a strong dog-owner culture and the greenbelts make it a comfortable environment for pets.

Here are the communities I most often show alongside Summershore during buyer consultations, ranked roughly from closest in price to furthest.
