At a time when the cost of doing business in California is driving
some people away, Simi Valley offers ample opportunity for growth
and prosperity at a surprisingly affordable rate. The more you
learn about Simi Valley, the more you will appreciate the balance
of a business friendly atmosphere and an enviable lifestyle.
Clean air and rolling hills create a magnificent backdrop to
a community committed to providing an attractive environment -
while maintaining the delicate balance of business activity and
residential lifestyle. The City of Simi Valley understands the
needs of business and desires to work with businesses to ensure
their long term success. Businesses from all over have discovered
the benefits of locating in a community which is "so close
and yet so far" - close to Los Angeles for the amenities
of a big city - far enough away to enjoy the peace, security and
quality of country living. Simi Valley also offers the advantage
of lower County, business and utility taxes, as well as a City
government that encourages businesses to prosper.
As you discover the beauty of Simi Valley you will be amazed
that so much untouched land can be so close to one of the country's
largest markets and most exciting metropolitan areas. With Los
Angeles only minutes away, clean air and open countryside do not
come at the price of isolation. Just minutes to the east are the
San Diego (405) and Golden State (5) Freeways. The Ronald Reagan/Simi
Valley-San Fernando Valley (118) Freeway creates the arterial
spine of Simi Valley. To the west, the Moorpark (23) Freeway connects
with U.S. 101 to Northern and Southern California.
Simi Valley is less than 50 minutes away from Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) and less than one-half hour from the newly expanded
Burbank Airport.
Overall, Simi Valley benefits from excellent truck, rail and
municipal transportation services. The Metrolink Commuter Rail
connects Simi Valley with downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando
Valley, Burbank Airport and numerous other important stops along
the way. The City is also served by Amtrak. The City's bus system
connects all industrial areas with residential tracts and commercial
facilities on an hourly basis.
For business and family, you'll find that the Simi Valley location
is an excellent combination of beautiful views and ample room
for expansion while being close to important domestic and international
business markets.
From its beautiful location to its dedicated labor force, the
City of Simi Valley is committed to being the most desirable place
for business. Simi Valley offers a talented and diversified labor
pool with over one-third of the City's population designated as
professional, technical or managerial. Others in the community
are chiefly classified in skilled services, sales, crafts and
clerical categories. With many of Simi Valley's residents commuting
outside the City for employment, opportunities to work closer
to home are extremely attractive to them. This talented, educated
and energetic labor pool can provide business with a work-force
prepared for the global marketplace of the 21st century.
Simi Valley's abundance of diversified housing and highly desirable
living environment are very important "employee benefits"
and a major factor in executive recruitment. For a city with over
111,500 residents, Simi Valley has fostered and maintained a semi-rural/suburban
small town atmosphere making it a very special and extremely safe
place to live.
Simi Valley is proud of its friendly, hometown atmosphere. But,
don't mistake hometown for small minded. Simi Valley always has
room for new ideas. In addition to efforts at increasing employment
and shopping opportunities, the City is active in refurbishing
historical sites and protecting open space.
From planned communities like Wood Ranch, to unassuming tree
lined residential streets and equestrian communities, the high
quality housing ranges from affordable to affluent. Estates, single-family
homes, townhouses and rental units offer options as diverse as
the people who live in them. All of these options coexist in a
well-balanced city that provides a full range of services.
Consistently rated by the FBI as one of the safest cities in
the United States, Simi Valley is proud of its police force and
the residents' commitment to a safe and secure way of life. Beautiful
and safe are certainly adjectives to use when describing a location
where you would want to raise a family.
The Simi Valley Unified School District consists of 19 elementary
schools, 3 junior high schools, 3 high schools and a continuation
school. Special education of all kinds is also available. Simi
Valley is also centrally located to some of the country's most
prestigious colleges and universities including UCLA, USC, Pepperdine,
Cal Lutheran and California State University at Northridge, and
the new California State University Channel Islands, just to name
a few. Two community colleges are only minutes away and Simi Valley
Adult School offers a variety of vocational programs.
An active Boys and Girls Club and Simi Valley YMCA offer a vast
array of activities for people of all ages. Simi Valley residents
enjoy and take advantage of the wide open spaces. With over a
dozen beautiful parks, camping and picnic facilities, miles of
bike trails, pools, tennis courts, ice skating rinks, 3 golf courses
and one of the largest equestrian trail systems in the United
States, there is no need to drive for hours just to "get
away from it all". But remember, if big city excitement is
what you crave, it isn't far away. Dodger Stadium, Universal Studios,
the Hollywood Bowl, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Disneyland are
all within driving distance. In addition, the City's Cultural
Arts Center offers professional and local stage productions. Simi
Valley is close to some of Southern California's finest harbors
and beaches for all types of water sports, and during the mild
winters you can take a "one day" vacation and go skiing
just a few hours away in the San Bernardino Mountains.
