Central Simi is the birthplace of the Simi Valley
Surrounded by the Santa Susana Mountains and the Simi Hills, Simi Valley is a city of about 125,000 within 40 miles of downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. And Central Simi Valley is its heart. “Central Simi is pretty much the birthplace of the Simi Valley. Most things got started in the central part of town,” says Keller Williams Realtor Allan Mann, who was born and raised in the city and still lives there today. “There’s the government center, police station, library, movie theaters and commercial areas all right here.” A draw to buyers who like to spend time outdoors, Central Simi Valley is rich in community parks and green space to the north. “It’s an incredibly active area,” says Keller Williams broker Cindy Slack, who has over 30 years of experience in the market. “We have tons of hiking and biking trails, outdoor concerts and other events.”

Contemporary homes in Big Sky development sell for a premium
“You’ve got almost exclusively single-family homes in Central Simi Valley, with most built in the 1960s and ‘70s,” Mann says. The eastern section of the neighborhood is the oldest, with neat little rows of postwar ranch-style homes on compact lots lining the residential streets. North of state Route 118 is the Big Sky development, a contemporary master-planned community with eight developments and a dedicated dog park. In the southwestern section, homes are much larger, some with equestrian facilities on the property. “Most of the houses in the area have large lots, so you’re not living right on top of your neighbor,” Slack says. Homes range in price between $700,000 and $1.7 million, with properties in the Big Sky development selling for a premium.
There are a lot of older homes throughout Central Simi Valley.

Bicycle-friendly with multiple public transit options
Central Simi Valley does not have direct interstate access, but state Route 118 cuts through all of Simi Valley. U.S. Route 101, which connects to the broader region, is about 10 miles south. Thousand Oaks is about 20 miles directly south, and downtown Los Angeles is about 40 miles southwest. The area is considered bicycle-friendly, with bike lanes, a 6-mile multiuse path and a bikeway system that connects residential areas with commercial centers. Simi Valley Transit operates bus routes along a few thoroughfares, and a train station on Los Angeles Avenue serves riders of Metrolink and Amtrak. There are a few small regional airports west of Simi Valley, but the closest major airport is Hollywood Burbank, about 30 miles away via the 118. Adventist Health Simi Valley is the primary medical facility in the area.
Proximity to the Santa Susana Mountains means fire risk
Due to its proximity to the Santa Susana Mountains and its open space, Central Simi Valley has a significant wildfire risk, particularly north of state Route 118. The area is controlled by the Ventura County Fire Department, which responds to fires in and around the city regularly, particularly in the summer months. In July 2024, the Sharp Fire forced evacuations; it burned over 130 acres before it was brought under control. Fire risk for homebuyers in Simi Valley is real as insurance giants continue to flee the state's volatile market.
