Hollywood film crews are a common sight in this tight-knit Californian community

Tucked into the eastern edge of the Simi Valley, the Santa Susana neighborhood is home to an active and diverse population who appreciate abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, as well as the tight-knit community feeling that pervades. “It’s a unique area to live,” says Realtor Cindy Slack of Keller Williams Exclusive Properties, who has been representing real estate transactions in the area for more than 30 years. “Sometimes you’ll go to dinner and see the mayor. It’s not like other neighborhoods. It’s a very tight-knit, involved community that is very family-friendly and active.” And given that the neighborhood is less than 30 miles from Hollywood, it’s not uncommon to see TV and film crews. “It seems like there’s something being filmed in the area almost every day,” says Slack. With the Ronald Reagan Freeway marking its northern boundary, this neighborhood offers convenience for commuters. Drivers can reach the beaches of Ventura 45 miles to the west or the Los Angeles International Airport 40 miles to the southeast.

Abundance of outdoor activities

When they are looking for some outdoor recreation, Santa Susana residents have a variety of options available to them. “It’s an incredibly active area,” says Slack. “We have tons of hiking and biking trails, outdoor concerts and all sorts of other events.” Foothill Park, in the neighborhood’s eastern section, and Verde Park, in the middle of the neighborhood, both offer visitors a playground and picnic tables. Corriganville Park is a filming ranch and provides access to five different hiking trails that wind their way through the park’s 246 acres. The Santa Susana Railroad Depot Museum and Model Railroad is a veritable time capsule of life from the time of the first settlers in the Simi Valley who were drawn to the area by the Santa Susana Depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad built in 1903. Visitors can learn more about the area’s history and see a scale model recreation of the railroad that led to the area’s commercial development. And next to the historic Santa Susana Train Depot is Santa Susana Park, where visitors will find a playground, a baseball diamond and softball field, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court and picnic tables with grills. When the day calls for indoor playtime, Harley’s Valley Bowl offers all-day bowling and pizza, with all of the requisite equipment available on-site.
