Simi Valley Overview

Simi Valley is a beautiful community that sits in the Simi Valley itself, in an area just to the southeast of Ventura County. The city has much to offer, including incredible weather, easy access to much of the Greater Los Angeles area, and numerous amenities. Apartments in Simi Valley, California, allow people to live in the heart of the city, in an area with a stunning park around just about every corner. Surrounding by the Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains, this community is ideal for outdoor lovers, but it’s also great for those who need to commute into the city for work or school. 

What is the history of Simi Valley?

Simi Valley spans 42 square miles. Its history started more than 13,000 years ago when the Chumash people lived in the area. They remained here until the 1800s. There were two Chumash villages here, the Ta’apu and Shimiji. There was a third settlement in the area of Moorpark called Kimishax. In 1795, San Jose de Nuestra Senora de Altagracia y Simi was awarded Santiago Pico. This land grant, the largest ever made, provided him with 113,000 acres. Through that early founding, the city grew to include more modern amenities and neighborhoods, especially as the Greater Los Angeles grew as well. 

How is the weather in Simi Valley?

For those considering the apartments in Simi Valley from out of state or out of the region, the weather is one of the best features of living here. The summer months are warm and dry, with temperatures around the 70s, thanks to being in the valley. The biggest weather concern here is wildfires, which can break out from time to time. The winter months are cool, with temperatures during the day reaching around 50 degrees. Winter months can also bring with them a significant amount of rain, though snow itself is very rare here. February tends to be the wettest month through the area gets only around 18 inches of rain each year.

How do I get around town?

Getting around Simi Valley is possible in several ways. There are three airports nearby for those who are travelers, including the Los Angeles International Airport, which is about 42 miles from the city.

Traffic can be difficult during the work week especially leading into the surrounding cities. However, many people take Amtrak or Metrolink to get around across the region, which can significantly reduce congestion. Simi Valley’s traffic isn’t the same as other areas of Los Angeles, but it can be difficult during the morning rush hour and later in the afternoon when everyone is coming home from work and school.
