Castaic Canyons
Castaic Canyons is located in the northern part of Los Angeles County, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It is situated in the Santa Clarita Valley, adjacent to the Interstate 5 freeway, which makes it a convenient location for commuters traveling to and from the greater Los Angeles area. “It’s a great area if you really want to get away from it all,” says local real estate broker Gail Kopp. “And if you can find a place up there. If you really want to experience nature, without getting too far away from a major city, that’s probably the place to go.”
The housing in Castaic Canyons is diverse, single-family home styles. Properties in the area range from modern suburban developments in the foothills around Santa Clarita to classic ranch-style houses in the mountains that often come with significant acreage. Prices range from $1.1 million for a 3,300-square-foot New Traditional style home in a new development, which is also about what you can expect to pay for a 900-square-foot mountainside ranch with 20 acres attached.
The community is perhaps best known for the Castaic Lake Recreation Area, a large reservoir surrounded by a regional park. This popular outdoor destination offers a range of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, jet skiing, and hiking. There are also several campgrounds in the area, making it a popular spot for weekend getaways. There are also endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing in the area. The world-famous Pacific Crest Trail passes through the neighborhood, while the regionally renowned Texas Canyon is one of the most popular rock climbing spots in north LA County.
Dining options in Castaic Canyons are somewhat limited, but there are a handful of local restaurants and fast food establishments. For a wider selection of dining and shopping options, residents often travel to nearby Santa Clarita or Valencia.
Multiple school districts serve the area, including Saugus Union School District. Highlands Elementary has an 8 out of 10 rating on GreatSchools. Many older students attend Arroyo Seco Junior high or Saugus High School, which has a 9 out of 10 rating and is known for its nationally competitive dance team.
Commuting from Castaic Canyons is relatively straightforward, thanks to its proximity to the I-5 freeway. However, traffic can be heavy during peak hours, and it is not uncommon for residents to have a commute of an hour or more each way. Public transportation options are limited, so most residents rely on their cars for transportation.
Castaic Canyons is known for its outdoor recreational opportunities, particularly the Castaic Lake Recreation Area. The housing is diverse, with a mix of modern and older homes. The schools in the area are well-regarded, and the community is relatively safe and quiet. However, the limited dining and shopping options, as well as the long commute to Los Angeles, maybe drawbacks for some residents.
If you’re really looking to get away from it all, though, Castaic Canyons could just be the perfect place for you.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
