Santa Clarita

A historic community turned cosmopolitan city, Santa Clarita blends its small-town roots with the sophisticated amenities and spirit of a larger urban center. The City of Santa Clarita, with a population of 180,000, is located within a picturesque valley, surrounded by mountains and bisected by natural rivers. Located adjacent to Six Flags Magic Mountain & Hurricane Harbor on the west, and the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park on the north, Santa Clarita is comprised of four diverse communities: Newhall, Valencia, Saugus and Canyon Country, and is just 25 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Named as one of the nation's safest cities and one of California's best places to do business, Santa Clarita, the third largest City in Los Angeles County, is one of California's most exciting destinations!

In Santa Clarita you'll find an abundance of California sunshine, welcoming smiles and a variety of activities for all ages. The Santa Clarita Valley boasts the state's most coveted golf courses, charming wine lounges, destination dining, live music and rich historic sites. Day spas and specialty retailers can be found throughout the city, while local theaters feature comedic and dramatic performances by Los Angeles' most talented performers.

Imagine — Los Angeles without the traffic. Add rolling hills, parks, a picturesque lake, and a young community with endless opportunities for adventure...then you are in Santa Clarita!
