What is the price range for luxury homes in West Hills?

West Hills luxury homes range from approximately $1 million for a well-maintained tract home in a gated community to $3.5 million and above for a significant estate on a view lot or in a premium gated position. The most active tier runs from approximately $1.2 million to $2.5 million, where the value-per-square-foot proposition is most compelling relative to comparable homes in adjacent Valley luxury markets.

What makes West Hills different from Woodland Hills or Calabasas?

West Hills and Woodland Hills are adjacent communities that share some boundaries and comparable residential character, with West Hills generally at the western edge. Calabasas — just over the Ventura County line to the west — has significantly higher name recognition, higher prices, and the guard-gated community infrastructure that defines The Oaks. West Hills offers the opportunity to access similar lot sizes, newer construction quality, and in some portions of the community the same LVUSD school district as Calabasas, at price points 20-35% below Calabasas. For buyers who want the LVUSD schools and estate scale without the Calabasas premium, the West Hills portions of the LVUSD boundary are worth evaluating specifically.

Which parts of West Hills are in Las Virgenes Unified School District?

Las Virgenes Unified School District serves portions of West Hills — specifically the areas west and northwest of the boundary that follows De Soto Avenue and the Ventura County line. Buyers who specifically target LVUSD access in West Hills should confirm the LVUSD boundary for any specific address before purchase, as the district boundary runs through the community and some West Hills addresses are in LAUSD rather than LVUSD. The LVUSD boundary map is available from the district and should be verified before making a school-motivated purchase decision.

What newer construction options are available in West Hills?

West Hills has a higher proportion of post-1990 construction than most comparable Valley communities, and newer construction products at the 2000-2020 vintage are available at price points from approximately $1 million to $2.5 million for well-maintained examples. Buyers who specifically want new or near-new construction — with current mechanical systems, updated electrical, modern floor plans, and reduced near-term renovation obligation — will find West Hills’ stock of newer homes wider than Encino, Sherman Oaks, or Studio City at comparable price points. True new construction (completed within the past 5 years) is available on a more limited basis, typically in the $2-3.5 million range on the upper-tier lots and hillside positions.
