Acton is located on the 14 freeway going north/east from Santa Clarita
to Palmdale and Lancaster. The area is a corridor of land that is
situated between national forest lands and mountains. Elevations are
over 3,000 feet. This means the climate differs significantly from
Santa Clarita itself. Winters are cold and it often snows even
though the snow does not stay on the ground for long.
Mountain High Ski Area is only
about 30 minutes drive from here, and the winter storm clouds often hang
over the area longer than elsewhere south. Summers are hot and
rarely does the coastal marine layer make it to Acton.
The community is a close knit
community of of people who love animals and/or open space. Most
homes are custom built homes on 5 acres or more. Homes tend to be
over 2500 square feet in size. Parts of Acton are on a public water
system but a large number of homes rely on
wells(link) for their water supply. Similarly, although
there are areas which are served with natural gas, in most cases propane
is used. Sewage disposal is into underground septic systems.
All in all, it could be said that the people who live here are very
independent in nature, but feel a significant part of the community.
There is a fierce attempt being made to keep the rural atmosphere alive
and well in the area, and most residents want to maintain a western feel.
Even McDonalds has a Western motif.
Acton has its own school district,
Acton-Agua
Dulce School District, (link)and
has several elementary schools, a Junior High School and a High School.
Acton Elementary has been awarded the California Distinguished School
award. Children are encouraged to join such clubs as the 4-H Club,
Scouts and equine groups. The
Vanguard News and the Country Journal, keep people informed of comings
and goings.
Although most homes are custom built homes, there are a number of
developments that have sprung up within the surrounds of the town.
All these developments are supplied with a public water system and natural
gas. The lot sizes tend to be around one acre, and horse facilities
are common - mostly common riding trails. These trail often end up
on the Pacific Crest hiking trail which
also makes it way through the area.
