For the thousands who pass through the Sepulveda Pass daily on the 405, they can get a glimpse of this mountaintop community - only a sliver of magnificent homes and condominiums perched on the mountain's edge, overlooking all of Los Angeles. To residents of Mountaingate, this hilltop community is like Shangri La …"It is like a paradise, above it all, away from it all."

Mountaingate is a popular, gated neighborhood because of its ideal location atop the Santa Monica Mountains with magnificent views and weather. The first phase in the Mountaingate development was the Country Club and golf courses, built in 1970, on a sanitary landfill. No homes in all of Mountaingate, however, are located on landfill. The first homes, which are townhouse/condominiums, were constructed in 1979.

The private Mountaingate Country Club features a magnificent golf course that wends its way through the canyons and arroyos of the development and is regarded as one of the top golf experiences in Los Angeles. Mountaingate CC features two golf layouts - the Lake-North course, par 70, and the North-South, par 71. The Club also features a very active social and recreational calendar and has six tennis courts, a restaurant, snack shop, pro shop and other amenities including a spa and locker rooms.

The Country Club is located within the development, but it is not part of the Mountaingate residential community. Several types of memberships are available at the private Club.


Because of its altitude, many days you can drive down Mountaingate Drive. leaving the already sun-baked landscape and enter the low-lying fog below. In the evening, you have city and ocean view vistas unmatched on the Westside. Certainly, what attracts people to Mountaingate is its unique mountain environment - steep mountains on all sides, lots of pines and oak trees native to the area, and incredible views. What makes Mountaingate unique is that is located in the "heart of the Santa Monica Mountains" - a vast range that extends from the Sepulveda Pass all the way to the West, Malibu, and Pacific Ocean. With nearby hiking and biking trails adjacent to Mountaingate, this hilltop community is a gateway to some of Southern California's most native splendor and wild life.

Mountaingate features four-communities-in-one for a total of 307 residences -- 187 single-family dwellings and 130 town homes/condominiums. There are three townhouse communities - The Vista, The Terrace, and The Ridge, and the single-family homes are located in Promontory, Canyonback, and Stoney Hill. There are four homes located on Mountain Crest Lane. On the horizon, Mountaingate will be home to a new development of 27 to 29 single-family homes on large, estate-sized lots. The development is currently in for plan review and environmental impact studies, but it is expected to started in the near future.

Most of the Mountaingate community is served by 24-hour guard-gated security, and guards patrol all neighborhoods on a regular basis for added security and privacy around the clock.


Residents of each community also enjoy a beautiful community pool, and some of the neighborhoods have other amenities such as a recreation room, mini park or tennis courts.

Mountaingate -- as with all of the homes in the Sepulveda Pass -- enjoys the services of the City of Los Angeles, even though some of the streets have been privatized. But what makes Mountaingate attractive is its ideal location, only 30 minutes away from downtown Los Angeles and 20 minutes from the San Fernando Valley.

Mountaingate residents love the community because it offers a true "get-away-from-it-all" feeling high in the mountains, yet just minutes from the Westside and/or the Valley's fine restaurants and shopping. Mountaingate is "above it all" in many ways. It's the ideal get-away for those who truly want to be apart from the bustle of the Westside.
