Sinaloa Lake is a small community built around a private 12-acre lake in southwest Simi Valley, next to the Sinaloa Golf Course. The lake has been owned by the Sinaloa Lake Owners Association since the early 1960s. The homes have a Simi Valley mailing address (93065), but the community sits outside the city limits in unincorporated Ventura County.
We're Steve Hise and Tricia Garcia, and we've spent 10 years helping people buy and sell across Simi Valley and Ventura County. This page covers the lake, the homes, and what to check before you buy or sell at Sinaloa Lake.
Lots were sold and built on over several decades, so homes vary a lot. You'll find custom and semi-custom homes from different eras, many on larger lots than the surrounding neighborhoods. Some lots sit right on the water, some have lake views, and others are a short walk away. That position, along with size and condition, makes a big difference in price.
Sinaloa Lake is private, not a public park. The owners association describes itself as membership-only and focuses on protecting the lake's habitat and wildlife. The lake holds fish such as crappie and largemouth bass, and listings in the community have advertised lake privileges like fishing, swimming, and small-boat use for members.
Because membership, fees, and lake rules are set by the association and can change, confirm the details for any specific home: whether the home comes with membership, what it costs, any transfer fee, and what the current rules allow.
With a small number of homes and big differences between waterfront, lake-view, and nearby lots, citywide averages don't tell you much here. For a real number, ask us for recent sales that match your home. For context, the Simi Valley median sale price for all home types was $814,612 for the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin).
A lake home sells best when buyers get clear answers up front: membership and fees, lake rules, permits, and utilities. We help you gather those before you list so buyers can move with confidence. If you're selling to buy your next home, we tell every client the same thing: you are never going to be left without a home. We line up the sale and your next purchase to close together, so you move once.

Homes here come up for sale only now and then. Tell us what you're looking for, waterfront or lake view, size, and price range, and we'll set up a search so you hear about the next one right away. We'll check the association documents with you and tour each home in person.

No. The 12-acre lake has been owned by the Sinaloa Lake Owners Association since the early 1960s, and the association is membership-only.
Lake privileges such as fishing and swimming have been advertised for members, but rules are set by the owners association. Confirm current rules and membership for any home you're considering.
When Simi Valley incorporated, the Sinaloa Lake community voted on September 27, 1966 not to join the new city. It remains unincorporated Ventura County.
The earthen dam that forms the lake was built in the late 1920s by the Robertson family for their ranch. The lake was drained in 1983 and rebuilt around 2000.
