Unlike the city, Santa Clarita Valley is free from smog and exhaust fumes. After a long day in the city, the clear mountain air is a cool and refreshing change. At the brink of the mountains is the gorgeous valley floor and rolling foothills. Smaller, quaint villages and larger housing communities are nestled in among the wonders of nature. National forests surround many communities, embedding nature's finest in your own yard. But this beautiful landscape offers much more than just what you see on the surface.



Santa Clarita Valley communities consist of hard-working citizens who like the rapid-paced working atmosphere of a large city, but who also desire the clean, relaxing environment that the Santa Clarita Valley can offer them. These are the ones who want economic prosperity while retaining peace and privacy, and they make the best neighbors.

With activities such as get-togethers and sporting events, there is a strong sense of community. The Santa Clarita Valley is constantly expanding to offer such amenities as exciting new shops and entertainment arenas to those residing within its flora-covered walls. Castaic is home to one of the largest paintball parks in southern California. Valencia is home to the first PGA Tour Facility in California, which is an ideal location to practice your golfing. Town centers, which are complete with small specialty stores, movie theaters, gaming centers, and larger superstores, offer every member of the family a place to spend the day.

Tucking themselves away between the rolling hills and picturesque views, families flock to these established communities from all over southern California. Individual families were taken into account in the master plan for building these communities. Large park areas and special programs for the children are available in many areas. The award winning school districts not only offer a superior education, but also have a much lower dropout rate than any of the other school systems in the area.

There are always plenty of things to do. If you like hiking, both the foothills and the higher mountain passes offer trails ranging from easy to strenuous. The crystal clear lakes in the Frazier Park area afford boating and fishing excursions on weekend outings or camping trips. And during the winter, the ski runs are kept open and the powder is nice and fresh. Skiing not your thing? Disneyland is only an hour's drive, and Six Flags is within just a few miles.

Being so close to Los Angeles, you're always just a short distance away from the glamorous nightlife of the city. With only a quick trip down the hill, you'll be able to attend concerts, shows, clubs, and parties. And yet, right in your backyard you have the panoramic view of snow-peaked hills and strong, green trees growing freely in the beautiful California sun.

Don't just dream of the perfect place to live; move there. Make it happen by visiting the Santa Clarita Valley.
