What does A.I. say about Westlake Village?
Westlake Village, CA is an affluent suburb of Los Angeles nestled in the foothills of Ventura County's Santa Monica Mountains. The cost of living in this area is much higher than the average in California and the United States due to its high-end housing, top-rated schools, and access to some of Southern California's best recreational activities. The median home price is well above $1 million, with luxury homes easily costing upwards of $4 million. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment averages around $2,000 per month. Other expenses such as food, transportation, and utilities are also higher than most other locations in California because of the region’s higher wages and incomes from tech startups and entertainment industry jobs nearby.
