Lake Lindero, Agoura Hills, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Lindero is a man-made lake in Agoura Hills, California, United States. "Lake Lindero" also refers to the district immediately surrounding this lake.

Built during the late 1960's and early 1970's amid a housing construction boom in the area, the lake is surrounded by private housing for the most part, with a small shopping district on the north side and some office buildings, a Lutheran church in the center, a synagogue, and another small shopping corridor along the district's southeast corner.

The neighborhood is relatively quiet and middle-class, with a notable working class contingent.

The neighborhood contains the Lindero Country Club, Lindero Canyon Middle School, and Yerba Buena Elementary School.

The district's synagogue has become a major center of Jewish culture in the area, and every Sabbath local Orthodox Jews can be seen walking to and from the synagogue along major roads throughout Agoura Hills.

The Reyes Adobe museum is located in the eastern part of the Lake Lindero district. The historic Reyes Adobe Museum (c. 1820), from the Rancho Las Virgenes, owned by the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department, was built in the mid-2000s around the site of the old adobe. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction. [1] [2]
