Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is a master-planned suburban city in the Santa Clarita Valley, north of Los Angeles over the Newhall Pass. It is organized as a collection of distinct communities that were consolidated into a single city in the late 1980s, which gives it a more planned, neighborhood-by-neighborhood feel than older parts of the county. Housing leans toward single-family homes in tract and planned developments, with townhomes, condominiums, and gated hillside enclaves rounding out the mix. Buyers are typically drawn by the family-oriented layout, newer construction, and access to parks, trails, and open space along the Santa Clara River.
