The Texas Tract is a neighborhood in northeast Simi Valley (zip 93063), known for single-story ranch homes built in the 1960s, larger lots, mature trees, and, for most homes, no HOA. Locally, it's the area framed by Tapo Street, Presidio Drive, Texas Avenue, and Alamo Street.
We're Steve Hise and Tricia Garcia, and we've spent 10 years helping families buy and sell across Simi Valley and Ventura County. This page is our guide to the Texas Tract: what's here, what the homes are like, and what to know before you buy or sell.
The Texas Tract sits in northeast Simi Valley, northeast of the Civic Center. Ask a local and you'll hear it framed by four streets: Tapo Street, Presidio Drive, Texas Avenue, and Alamo Street. It's a local name, not an official city boundary, so you'll see it drawn a little differently from one map to the next.
You'll know you're in it from the street signs. Many carry Texas names: Waco Avenue, Fannin Drive, Mineral Wells Court, Weatherford Court, and Texas Avenue itself.
Most homes in the Texas Tract are single-story ranch homes from the 1960s, with some built in the 1970s. Homes listed here in recent years have run from about 1,400 to 3,200 square feet, many on larger lots than you'll find in newer Simi Valley tracts.
That mix is why the Texas Tract draws two kinds of buyers. Some want one-level living. Some want a yard big enough for a garden, a workshop, or an RV pad. And because many of these homes are 60 years old, some have been fully updated and some are close to original. That gap matters a lot when you price one.
Most of the Texas Tract has no homeowners association, according to local neighborhood guides. A few homes near the edges may sit in a different tract with its own rules, so always confirm HOA status on the specific property's disclosures before you buy.
The Texas Tract has quick access to the 118 freeway, and from there to the 23. Simi Hills Golf Course, run by the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District, is on Alamo Street. The neighborhood also holds an annual Texas Tract garage sale day each June.
Two Texas Tract homes on the same street can sell for far different prices. A 1960s ranch with an updated roof, electrical panel, plumbing, and kitchen competes in a different price range than one with original systems. Lot size and usable yard space move the number too.
Texas Tract homes don't come up often, and the updated ones tend to get attention fast. If you want one-level living or a bigger lot in Simi Valley, tell us what you're looking for and we'll set up a search matched to your real criteria, then tour homes with you in person.
