Golden Valley Ranch blends nature access with new amenities
Tucked away in one of Santa Clarita’s most picturesque elevations, Golden Valley Ranch is a neighborhood of brand-new gated communities with front-row access to thousands of acres of natural scenery. Located in the eastern reaches of the city, it includes a shopping center, fire station, elementary school, park, and the 55-and-over Verano community. “New construction is a big deal,” says Realtor Zach McReynolds, owner of NextHome Real Estate Rockstars. “They’re all pretty modern with open concept style interiors. It’s very family friendly.” Not a neighborhood known for hosting festivals or a calendar of weekend events, Golden Valley Ranch focuses on maintaining its oasis atmosphere. It also borders Antelope Valley Freeway, easing your commute whether you’re heading north to the desert or south to Los Angeles. With brand-new homes in a beautiful, natural setting, life in Golden Valley Ranch is designed to deliver convenience and refreshment.
Prices span from $650K ranchers to $1.5M spacious homes
Within the residential landscape, home styles include elegant ranchers, five-bedroom Mission Revival stunners, earth-tone stucco mansions, modern farmhouse designs and bright two-story Coastal Prairie style homes in the Verano community. These homes are brand-new — all built in the last decade, with some constructed as recently as 2021. A two-bedroom rancher typically costs between $650,000 and $750,000, while larger homes with more square-footage can cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. The neighborhood centers around the Aliento Terrace Clubhouse, featuring large farmhouse patios and elegant stonework. The Clubhouse offers residents a fitness center with panoramic views, an event lawn, bocce court, outdoor fireplace, and extravagant swimming pools with private cabanas.
Trails and parks offer hiking, biking and dog-friendly spaces
The Dogwood Gated Community Park offers pups a flat open space to run and play, peppered with low boulders for resting. The main trailhead for Bothwell Memorial Park invites residents to hike and bike through hills overlooking the valley. There are plenty of trails that will take you deep in the Golden Valley Ranch Open Space, a 900-acre preserve of chaparral-covered slopes and oak woodlands that stretch across the nearby ridgelines. For a short, strenuous hike, you can trek to the top of Horse Peak, the highest point in Santa Clarita at about 2,400 feet.
Students attend well-rated schools with active parent support
Elementary age students in Golden Valley Ranch attend Golden Oak Community School, a public elementary school on the neighborhood’s northeastern edge. Golden Oak’s active PTA helps host book fairs, dances and assemblies. Upperclassmen attend highly rated schools like La Mesa Junior High and Golden Valley High, both of which hold “A” ratings from Niche, an online school review site. “We’re seeing an influx of people moving to the area, and schools are a big part of that,” McReynolds says.
Plaza at Golden Valley offers groceries, furniture and fast food
In the Plaza at Golden Valley, residents can shop nearly 50 stores including Kohls, T.J. Maxx, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. The shopping center also offers fast food options, office supply stores, professional services and salons. Eateries here include national chains such as Panera and Chili’s. Locals can also dine on subs and pizza at Tomato Joe’s Pizza and Taps, or opt for open-flame charburgers at the Habit Burger Grill. Nationally famous Crumbl Cookies is also here, baking gourmet sweets for in-store purchase or delivery in signature pink-box multipacks. Head just a few minutes north and you can shop at big box stores and grocers like Costco and Stater Bros. Markets, a go-to destination for fresh produce and meats.
GreatSchools:
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.
