Simi Valley Homes and Neighborhood Guide

Where Simi Valley is

The city fills its namesake valley between the Santa Susana Mountains to the north and the Simi Hills to the south and east, with Thousand Oaks to the southwest and Moorpark to the west. State Route 118 (the Ronald Reagan Freeway) and Metrolink connect it to the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is in Simi Valley.

Neighborhoods

Commonly named Simi Valley neighborhoods include Wood Ranch, Big Sky, the Bridle Path, Sinaloa Lake, Santa Susana Knolls, Old Town, the Presidential Tract and others. Boundaries are informal.

Wood Ranch

Wood Ranch, in the southwest of the city, is a master-planned area around the private Wood Ranch Golf Club, with single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums and some gated enclaves. Several homeowners associations cover different parts of Wood Ranch, so confirm which ones apply to a specific home.

Hillsides and open space

Simi Valley is ringed by the Santa Susana Mountains and Simi Hills, and Big Sky Ranch, a movie ranch in the city, has been used for westerns and other productions. Homes near the valley's edges back onto open space, so fire-zone and insurance checks matter.

Schools

Simi Valley is served by the Simi Valley Unified School District, whose high schools include Royal High School, Santa Susana High School and Simi Valley High School. School assignment depends on the exact address; confirm with the district.

Parks

The Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District runs the city's parks, and Simi Valley has about 5,600 acres of publicly owned land, much of it in the Simi Hills.
