Valencia Information

Valencia


Valencia is fifteen minutes drive north of the San Fernando Valley and a forty five minute drive from downtown Los Angeles. It is situated in the northern part of Los Angeles County, Although some people refer to it as a city, it more accurately is one of one of four subsections or areas that compose the City of Santa Clarita, which was established in 1987 and incorporated Valencia, Canyon Country, Saugus and Newhall. Directly adjacent to Valencia central is Stevenson Ranch and Westridge . Valencia is located in the Santa Clarita Valley which is bordered by mountains all around and the two freeways, 5 Golden State Freeway and the 14 Antelope Valley Freeway, making the commute to either Glendale or the Burbank Studios or downtown Los Angeles where many of our residents work, very easy. Although both the Golden State, 5 and the Antelope Valley, 14 freeways are easily accessible from Valencia, The Golden State 5 freeway is directly adjacent to Valencia and provides the easiest and quickest route to the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles proper. The freeway gives you access to many other freeways in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley freeway network such as the 405, 210, 118, 101, 110, and 170 freeways. We are very fortunate to have a very clean and efficient Metro link train system and several convenient stations, each complete with a park and ride lot that is available for a quick and easy commute to downtown Los Angeles.

Valencia Master Planned Community


Valencia is called a “master planned” community. This is because the “lifestyle and growth” of the people and community needs were carefully thought out and “planned” in advance of the city being built. Valencia is famous for its intricate system of walking and biking trails called “paseos” and “family friendly” life style. These night lighted trails go all though Valencia and incorporate some very beautiful scenery including mountains, green belts and wildlife reserves into their various paths. There are many beautiful homes located in Valencia for almost any type of budget. We have starter condos, townhomes, small, detached single family homes, and estate homes with breathtaking views of the valley. Many of the homes available have community swimming pools along with tennis courts, sports courts where one can use their compound bow, and beautiful recreational complexes. Other homes have private swimming pools with various lot sizes.
