Your Guide to Living in the Texas Tract — Simi Valley's Most Beloved Neighborhood

If you’re searching for a home in Simi Valley, the Texas Tract should be at the top of your list. This warm, established neighborhood sits in the heart of the city and has been one of Simi Valley’s most sought-after communities for decades — and once you see why residents love it, you’ll understand why homes here don’t stay on the market long.

What Makes the Texas Tract Special?

The Texas Tract gets its name from the Texas cities and towns whose names adorn its streets — a fun piece of local history that gives the neighborhood an identity all its own. Built primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, homes here range from classic California ranch-style houses to mid-century modern designs, many sitting on generous lots with large yards and extra-long garages. It’s the kind of neighborhood where people have room to breathe—and to make a home truly their own.

With approximately 5,800 residents and a homeownership rate of 87%, the Texas Tract has the kind of stability that only comes when people genuinely love where they live. The average resident is 49 years old, and the community reflects a mix of long-time families, retirees, and working professionals who chose this neighborhood and chose to stay.

What Do Texas Tract Residents Say?

Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what people who actually live here have to say:

“Peaceful days and starry nights — there’s a sense of calm you just can’t find everywhere.”
“The hiking and mountain biking trails right at our doorstep are some of the best in Simi Valley.”
“No HOA! We take care of our homes because we care about our neighborhood — not because we’re forced to.”
“It feels like Mayberry — small-town heart, but close to everything you need.”
“The holiday lights every Christmas are gorgeous. Neighbors wave on their walks. It’s like something out of a movie.”
“My garage is now an art studio. The space here is incredible.”
“Our neighbors look out for each other without being nosy. It’s the perfect balance.”
