Connected Living: Valencia's Strategic Location in Santa Clarita Valley
When choosing a home, location matters as much as the property itself. Valencia by FivePoint in the Santa Clarita Valley offers the perfect balance—a tranquil community with easy access to everything Southern California has to offer. Located in the heart of Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita Valley, Valencia combines the serenity of a planned community with exceptional connectivity to the region's amenities and opportunities.
Ease of Transportation
"You can get there from here—and back again." This simple statement captures one of Valencia's greatest advantages: its strategic location adjacent to Interstate 5. This major transportation corridor puts area job centers such as Burbank, Downtown Los Angeles, North Hollywood, and the San Fernando Valley within easy reach, reducing commute times and enhancing quality of life.
"It's easy to hop on and off the freeways to get to places, and to get home," explained one resident, highlighting the convenience of Valencia's location.
For those who prefer public transportation, Valencia offers nearby access to Metrolink, North Hollywood/Red Line/Orange Line, Century City/Westwood/UCLA, and the San Fernando Valley. The Santa Clarita Transit Commuter Express also offers a convenient way to travel to these areas. And when longer trips call, Valencia is only about 25 minutes from Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR).
A Life-Changing Difference
For Tony and Candy, who relocated from Fillmore, Valencia's location has transformed their daily routines. "Many important destinations are in this area, and the drive to and from Fillmore just got to be too much for us," shared Candy. "We are 4 minutes instead of 35 minutes from church now, and that's just one example of the ease this community offers. We love it!"
Those extra minutes saved each day add up to hours each week—time that can be spent enjoying family, community amenities, or simply relaxing at home rather than sitting in traffic.
Educational Excellence Within Reach
Families with children particularly appreciate Valencia's proximity to well-ranked schools. The William S. Hart District serves junior high and high school students, while elementary school children attend either the Newhall School District or the Saugus School District.
For residents Nithin and Sneha Gridhallaru, educational opportunity was a non-negotiable factor in their home search: "We did not want to compromise on picking a place to live. With our home in Valencia, we have secured excellent educational opportunities for our son and the sisters or brothers he may have someday!"
Beyond K-12 education, Valencia offers convenient access to higher education options, including Cal Arts and College of the Canyons, making lifelong learning accessible for residents of all ages.
Healthcare and Essential Services
Health and wellness services are also close at hand, with Henry Mayo Hospital nearby providing peace of mind for families. The community's location ensures that essential services are never far away, balancing the tranquility of a planned community with practical necessities.
Retail and Dining
While Valencia offers community amenities like the weekly Farmers Market, residents enjoy easy access to a broader array of shopping and dining options throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. From everyday necessities to special indulgences, everything is within convenient reach.
The Best of Both Worlds
Perhaps most importantly, Valencia's location offers the perfect balance between accessibility and escape. Valencia provides a respite from the bustle of Los Angeles proper, close enough to urban amenities to make daily life convenient, yet designed with ample green space and natural beauty.
"The location and the quiet atmosphere make this an oasis," noted one homeowner, capturing the essence of Valencia's appeal.
In choosing Valencia, residents aren't sacrificing convenience for community or vice versa—they're gaining both. This thoughtful balance makes Valencia not just a collection of homes but a place where connection to nature, neighbors, and the broader world enhances everyday living.
