Santa Clarita Valley Information
Welcome > Local Info > Santa Clarita Valley Information ...

Santa Clarita Valley is “Southern California’s Best Kept Secret!” Initially, people flocked to the valley for its discovery of gold! Today, people come to the valley for its beauty, its quality of life and its economic stability. The valley offers relaxation and a small community feel while still providing all the big city amenities.

The Santa Clarita Valley is the valley of the Santa Clara River. It is surrounded by phenomenal natural beauty! Towards the north you will find the grand Sierra Pelona Mountains, refreshing Lake Piru and Castaic Lake, the rich forests of Los Padres National Forest and the Angeles National Forest and to the south you will find the majestic Santa Susana Mountains.

The city of Santa Clarita with a population of around 165,000 is situated in Los Angeles County and is the urban center of the valley. The city is composed of four distinct communities. These communities are Valencia, Canyon Country, Newhall, and Saugus. Surrounding communities include Westridge, Castaic, Val Verde, Stevenson Ranch, Acton and Agua Dulce. All boasting low-crime rates!

The valley offers a wealth of employment opportunities. Of the valley’s communities, Valencia serves as a major business center and offers thousands of jobs to the valley’s residents. Additionally, residents are only 30 miles from the economic hub of Los Angeles. Daily, the Metrolink comfortably transports valley residents to and from the great metroplolis of Los Angeles.

In addition to great employment opportunities, the valley has excellent educational facilities. Many of the valley’s schools have received awards such as California Distinguished School and National Blue Ribbon. The valley also offers higher educational opportunities through the College of the Canyons and the California Institute of the Arts both located in Valencia.

Given the valley’s abundant federal, state, and city parks coupled with its agreeable climate the area provides for year round recreation! Here residents can find it all! From water sports in the valley’s lakes, to winter sports in the surrounding mountains and at the Ice Station, to first class golf at championship golf courses, to hiking, to horseback riding, to camping, the list keeps going on! And of course the beautiful Pacific Ocean is just 40 miles away!

Canyon Country

Canyon County is a gorgeous community located within the city limits of Santa Clarita. It is nestled into grand canyons and provides majestic mountain views. Initially, it was only composed of isolated rural homes and sparse equestrian ranches. Today, with a population of around thirty thousand, it is the largest bedroom community of the city of Santa Clarita.

Well known for its equestrian ranches and horse facilities, Canyon Country provides distinctive place to live. Here you will find the premier Robinson Ranch Golf Course, the conveniently located library with facilities for College of the Canyons, as well as a Metrolink station linking residents to the phenomenal cultural and economic center of Los Angeles.

Castaic

Castaic is a community in the Santa Clarita Valley located on beautiful Lake Castaic! Here residents benefit from the rich relaxing life the lake has to offer. This community trace’s its roots back to the Tataviam Indians. A Santa Clarita historian, Jerry Reynolds, noted that the Tataviam Indians called the area “Kashtuk” meaning eyes.

The strong emphasis in this community is growing in harmony with the area’s natural beauty, preserving the reason residents move here. This community is home to the Love Ride, the spectacular Fourth of July Festival, and the Castaic Sports Complex.

Saugus

Saugus is a Narragansut Indian word that means "sandy spit of land" was originally a railroad station along the Southern Pacific Railroad. The community that sprouted up around this rail station was named after Saugus, Massachusetts, the hometown of renowned community planner Henry Mayo Newhalls.

This small community situated in picturesque hills that boasts big city amenities! Here you will find Central Park, a forty acre park with facilities for all sports as well as entertaining concerts in the park! Saugus also features a first class Aquatics Center, where you will find three pools, including a 50-meter competition pool and a 25-meter dive pool, and a 160-foot water slide. Additionally, Saugus is famous for its swap meet, one of the largest and oldest in Southern California and for its speedway where auto racing fans come to view the professionals in action.

If this is not enough, the Metrolink transports residents to and from the phenomenal cultural and economic center of Los Angeles!

Acton and Agua Dulce

The two rural communities of the southern part of the Santa Clarita Valley are Acton and Agua Dulce. These well known equestrian communities with their unpaved roads and working ranches have truly retained their rural feel.

Here you will find famous Vasquez Rocks Country Park located in the high desert near Agua Dulce Springs, a small public airport, and Le Chene a sensational French restaurant.

Real Estate Tips
Time to Move >Children and Moves

When you decide it is time to move, it is important to engage your children in the process. Depending on the reason for the move and the distance, moving can cause some concerns for children that parents may not be aware of right away. Moving often means going to a new school, leaving favorite playmates, and experiencing a lot of uncertainty about what the new neighborhood will be like.

The transition will be a lot easier if your children support your efforts to get your current home sold. How can you get them involved in the process? Include the whole family in discussions about the move and invite the children to participate in house-hunting trips. Ask for the children's cooperation in keeping their toys and clothes picked up. Teenagers may be especially touchy about strangers invading their space, and may resist keeping their room in "showing" condition. Stay communicative with your children about developments in the home sale to help them feel connected to the process.

Work with a real estate agent who is comfortable with children and can remain sensitive to your children's needs and concerns. When the house sells, take the whole family out to celebrate the event.
