A city of about 12.44 square miles by its own count, with most homes from the 1980s onward.
The city
Incorporated in July 1983, named for the Moorpark apricot once grown across the valley.
Downtown
Where the town's founder laid out the streets and planted the pepper trees, per the City.
The 1980s tracts
41.8% of the city's homes went up in that one decade.
Newer neighborhoods
14.9% of homes date from the 2000s and 8.7% from the 2010s.
Mostly a 1980s town
Census estimates count 11,563 housing units in the city with a median build year of 1987, the youngest of the towns around Simi Valley. 41.8% went up in the 1980s alone, 76.5% are detached houses, and owners live in 79.3% of occupied homes.
A door from that decade has usually had its springs replaced at least once, while the opener may be any age. Openers sold since July 1, 2019 must have battery backup; older ones often do not.

What is different about garages here?
They are younger than Simi's and wear differently. Census estimates put the median home here at 1987 against 1980 in Simi Valley, and 41.8% of Moorpark homes date from the 1980s alone, so most doors are on their second or third set of springs while the openers span every era. The town also sits beside hills that have burned: about 53% of today's city lies inside a fire perimeter on CAL FIRE's record, mostly from the 2003 Simi Fire and the 2006 Shekell Fire. So we size springs to the door as it is now, check that an older opener can legally run a new door, and fit the seals tight.
Springs matched to the door
Sized to the door's weight today, not to the label on the old spring.
Opener age checked
Units without battery backup are flagged before any new door is ordered.
Seals checked
Bottom and side seals measured against the 1/8 inch limit.
Price in writing
Agreed before the work starts, same as in Simi Valley.
How much of Moorpark lies inside old fire lines?
About 53% of today's city lies inside a fire perimeter on record, almost all of it from two recent fires.
- 2003 Simi Fire: its perimeter covers about 38% of the city.
- 2006 Shekell Fire: about 32%.
- 1970 Clampitt fire: about 14%.
- 1946 Wiley Canyon fire: about 12%.
- For your garage: where the state's wildfire rules apply, the gap around the door is capped at 1/8 inch.
