Valencia is a completely Master Planned Community within the city of Santa Clarita.  Drafted in the early 1960's, the Valencia Master Plan was adopted in 1965 by the County Planning Commission and the first homes were built not long after.  These homes, each designed beautifully for their time, in the most part continue to be maintained under resident controlled Homeowner's Associations which keep neighborhoods in peak condition at all times.  Neighborhoods are clean and neat and homes are consistently upgraded and well maintained generally. These neighborhoods make Valencia particularly attractive for young families.

The beautifully designed neighborhoods and homes (link in site) are complemented with other ingredients which make for an outstanding way of life.  These include well placed shopping areas, a large shopping Mall, houses of worship(need to add here) neighborhood recreation centers, childcare centers and the Valencia Gateway which is the largest center for business and technology in Los Angeles County.  Outstanding health care is available at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.  Golf courses include:  Valencia Country Club, Executive at Vista Valencia and  Westridge golf course is due to open by the end of 2002.  This will be an 18 hole Tournament Players Club championship golf course on 208 acres and will be open to the public.

Road planning within Valencia is being expertly guided. Since the Valencia Town Center, Valencia Marketplace, Valencia Industrial Center, Gateway Commerce Center, as well as the 14 and 5 freeways attract considerable cross-valley traffic, each neighborhood of Valencia has been beautifully planned with quiet neighborhood streets feeding into collector streets, which lead onto arterial roads and freeways.  Through traffic is not in the neighborhoods themselves which adds to safety as well as serenity.  In addition, the neighborhoods are connected with paseos, which also ramble through nature preserves and along the environmentally protected Santa Clara River. Children and adults alike, can roller-skate, bike, and run safely away from traffic while at the same time having safe access to parks, schools and shopping areas.

Schools (link within site)within Valencia are the pride of the area.  Standardized test scores place the majority in the top ten percent in California and many have earned the distinction of California Distinguished Schools award as well as National Blue Ribbon honors.

Valencia's location places it within easy driving distances of beaches, lakes and mountains. The closest are all reachable within 45 minutes.  Castaic Lake is open to camping, fishing and boating.  Lake Piru is open for camping, fishing, boating and off road vehicle trails in the Los Padres National Forest. Ventura beaches and Ventura pier are reached along highway 126 which makes its way through a picturesque valley of local orange and avocado groves. Ocean fishing, harbor cruises and diving can be enjoyed by taking fishing expeditions from Oxnard, Ventura or Santa Barbara out into the Santa Barbara Channel and beyond.  Skiing can be enjoyed at Mountain High during the winter season and is accessed along highway 138 past Palmdale skirting the Mohave Desert.  For hiking and mountain biking there are endless trails in the Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest.

If you are looking for some thrills you can enjoy that at Six Flags Magic Mountain and its associated water park, Hurricane Harbor.

Local parks (need a map here)are abundant, and there has been considerable care to preserve open space which is included in the Master Plan.  By the time the last home is built in Valencia it is estimated that thirty percent of the community will remain as open space. Nature trails and parks include the native oaks and the Santa Clara River channel.  These areas will preserve the natural habitats of the native flora and fauna.
