12 Things You Only Understand Growing Up In Westlake Village

We live near the Kardashians, our bagels are the best, and we live in the bubble. There are just some things people who experienced growing up in Westlake Village that other people wouldn’t understand. Read on to learn the top 12 things only someone from Westlake Village would understand.

1. When people ask where you’re from…

You say “Westlake, near Los Angeles? Ugh do you know Calabasas, where the Kardashians live? Yeah, we are next to them.”
