Central Simi Valley Homes and Neighborhoods

Central Simi Valley is the middle of the city, around the 118 freeway, Simi Valley Town Center, and Rancho Simi Community Park. It's the busiest part of town for home sales, with older single-family tracts, condos and townhomes, and newer communities like Big Sky and Sycamore Grove. It takes in parts of both 93063 and 93065.

We're Steve Hise and Tricia Garcia, a brother-and-sister team at eXp Realty with about 20 years of combined experience. We've helped hundreds of families buy and sell across Simi Valley and Ventura County. This is our guide to central Simi Valley: the neighborhoods, what the homes are like, and what to know before you buy or sell.

There's no official line between east, central, and west Simi Valley. Locals, the city, and sites like Redfin and Zillow each draw these areas a little differently, so we describe each side by its neighborhoods and landmarks.

Neighborhoods in central Simi Valley

Big Sky (93065)

A master-planned community with homes built mostly around 2005 and 2006, with sub-neighborhoods such as Crosspointe and Castlewood, plus trails and parks nearby. It has an HOA.

Sycamore Grove (93065)

Off Cochran Street near Sycamore Drive. A newer Lennar community of 164 townhomes and detached homes that opened in 2022, next to the Sycamore Village shopping center.

The older tracts in between

Much of central Simi Valley is made up of single-family tracts from the 1960s and 1970s, mixed with condo and townhome communities. Most of them don't have a well-known name, so they show up in listings under their tract names. We'll help you sort them out street by street.

What are the homes like?

Central Simi Valley has the widest mix in the city: 1960s and 1970s single-family homes, condos and townhomes, and newer master-planned homes. That variety means more choice at more price points, and it also means comps matter. A townhome sale tells you little about a detached home a few streets away. If you're shopping townhomes, see our Sycamore Grove guide.
