Simi Valley is located in Ventura County between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara with easy access to the 23, 118 and 101 freeways. We have a population of approximately 127,000 people. The two master planned communities of Wood Ranch and Big Sky are within the city limits.
Simi Valley has consistently been ranked as one of the safest cities in the country and while living here you will have access to the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and home of Air Force One, 25 parks, 1 dog park, six golf courses, mountain trail systems at both ends of the valley and numerous bike paths.
The city has also incorporated bike lanes on many of its streets and there is also a Senior Center with a full calendar of classes and events.
Stay tuned also for updates on the Simi Valley Arroyo beautification project, the Arroyo Simi Greenway. Phase 1 is now complete and Simi is working on Phase 2 of the long term project. Phase 1 upgrades include the construction of two miles of new paved trails from Erringer Road to Sequoia Avenue, 17 accessible trail entries and new signage and interpretive exhibits.
Close by in neighboring Thousand Oaks is the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza for more on-stage entertainment, as well as the newly renovated and expanded Thousand Oaks Mall.
SIMI VALLEY MARKET – Market activity continues to be favorable for sellers due to the lack of inventory. As of March 31, 2023 there are 49 single family homes for sale and 6 of these listings are in the Wood Ranch area. During the month of March 71 homes sold with an average sales price of $854,000 and the average days on market was 60. Interestingly, this is the same average sales price as two years ago. The highest priced home sold for $1,500,000 and the lowest priced home sold for $535,000. Mortgage rates finally started to come down and should improve further for late spring and summer so buyers may want to consider entering the market again.
