Discover Silverthorne in Simi Valley

Setting & Lifestyle

Silverthorne sits in the scenic northeast hills of Simi Valley, offering a peaceful neighborhood of spacious single-family homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Designed with a blend of suburban comfort and outdoor living, this community is known for its wide streets, manicured landscaping, and quiet, low-turnover environment.

For golfers, Simi Hills Golf Course is only a short drive away, featuring an 18-hole championship course with practice facilities, instruction, and leagues. Families enjoy Big Sky Park, which includes lighted softball diamonds, basketball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and the popular Simi Dog Park. The adjacent Big Sky Trail is perfect for a quick hike or jog. Beyond the immediate area, the Rancho Simi Recreation & Park District offers a wide variety of parks across the city, from the beloved Rancho Simi Community Park (“Duck Park”) with courts, lagoon, and pool to other neighborhood playgrounds and greenbelts.
