Feeling a sense of belonging and connection to the larger community is as vital as the structure and address we call home. At Valencia by FivePoint, thoughtful planning has created a remarkable backdrop for this dynamic, offering singles, couples, families and empty nesters a special place to make their home. Located in the heart of Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita Valley, Valencia lies close to important destinations, with adjacency to I-5 putting area job centers, Cal Arts, College of the Canyons and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital within easy reach. Nearby access to Metrolink, additional freeways and airports enriches here-to-there convenience. 'This location gives us a good balance between being close enough to the city for work and far enough away to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle,' said a homeowner.
Top-ranked schools serve the community, with elementary school children in the Newhall or Saugus School Districts, and the William S. Hart District serving junior high and high school students. Families can count on high educational value. 'We're glad that school is very nice and close, and I like to see my kids growing up with other kids in this family-oriented community,' said one homeowner. Diverse choices in new homes make Valencia's location even more attractive, with selections in 17 collections by some of the nation's most prominent builders. Detached and attached designs, in single- or multi-level styles, are priced from the upper $500,000s to over $1.4 million, offering 2 to 6 bedrooms and 2.5 to 5.5 baths, in plan sizes of 1,326 to 3,731 square feet. All optimize privacy, indoor/outdoor livability and views, with inviting social spaces, sleek kitchens, luxurious primary suites, and flex spaces for versatility. 'I have always wanted to live in a home where I was the first owner, and this design works really well for us,' said a homeowner. 'It has room for a home office, and we have 4 bedrooms, with suite layouts upstairs and down, so everyone can enjoy their privacy and comfort. Plus, our spaces for hosting family and friends are great!'
Energy efficiency is a key feature, with each home including low-E windows, upgraded insulation, rooftop solar and tankless water heaters with closed loop systems. Some homes provide flow meters at main water lines and solar data to help owners monitor water usage and energy production. Level 2 electric vehicle chargers are planned for existing and future homes within Confluence Village at Valencia. 'We love our EV plug-ins, and we love to compost and recycle,' said a homeowner. 'It's just part of our lifestyle and Valencia makes that lifestyle a given.' A panoramic hillside site and vista views to the Santa Susana Mountains frame Valencia, with permanently protected open space, trees and vegetation enriching its distinctive ambience. 'You see beauty, not power lines, and it really feels like a nature setting,' said one homeowner. 'The location and the quiet atmosphere make this an oasis.'
Abundant outdoor opportunities include Confluence Park, a community core with expansive lawns, a lap pool, family pool, spa and cabanas. Confluence Park also holds a large Community Garden, where all ages are welcomed to join the Gardening Committee. 'Our daughter is learning about plants and flowers, and we love being able to socialize so easily,' said a homeowner. The Eastlink Greenway connects diverse destinations within Valencia via walking, biking, and Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) paths, connecting to Confluence and Verve Parks. Verve Park features roomy lawns, a kids' playground, an outdoor fitness zone, a bike repair stand and a shaded pavilion. Future additions include a Valencia GO mobility hub with bikeshare and carshare elements. Verve Park also includes a community clubhouse that residents can reserve for parties, meetings and private events. Riparian Park, just above Verve Park on Riparian Avenue, is a new park of the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department, featuring basketball courts, a sports field, a playground, family picnic areas, trails and native landscapes. 'The kids have great playgrounds, and we all have Confluence Park and its pools and grounds,' said one homeowner. 'There are lots of great places to spend time throughout the community.' Vantage Park, with an additional pool and spa and a community building, is scheduled to open later this year.
Valencia's outdoor seating niches, small parks and sidewalk systems invite enjoyment without a drive. Adjacent trails make it easy to hike from home and connect with regional networks. 'We feel safe and comfortable here,' said a homeowner. 'The walkability and our pools and cabana are like a vacation at home.' For special interests, clubs such as Tabletop Gaming, Walking, Karaoke and the Gardening Committee are available, with First Service Residential providing weekly information. The Break Room allows neighbors to connect every month over coffee or lunch. 'Whether it's casual chats at the park or kids playing together, there's a real sense of connection here,' said a homeowner. 'It's easy to strike up conversations, and that's made it feel like home faster than we expected.' The Valencia Farmers Market is open to residents and visitors every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., offering fresh produce and artisan fare. Throughout the year, community festivities provide music, food and fun for all. 'This was just the perfect place for us,' said a mother with two children. 'We love the events here and there is always something fun to do with events and good clubs. It's also great just to walk outside and say hi to a neighbor and enjoy a visit. It just feels like home.'
