Since it was founded in the early 20th century, Val Verde has been a place where people went to get away from it all. The community began life as a resort space for African Americans, the area was wildly popular from the 1930s through the 1950s. Today, the resort is gone, but the beautiful scenery and peaceful ambience that once drew thousands of vacationers each year are very much intact.

Shopping and dining options are mostly outside Val Verde
When locals need to do a bit of shopping, they generally head to the town of Castaic, about 10 minutes northeast of Val Verde, where they can find supermarkets like Ralphs and a selection of smaller shopping centers. If you’re looking for major retailers, Santa Clarita has multiple expansive shopping malls featuring everything from major department stores to upscale boutiques. As for Val Verde itself, the local convenience store is the only shop in town, however, local farmers, like those at Urban Fresh Farm often sell fresh produce straight from the source.
While there aren’t any restaurants in Val Verde, there are a number of highly-rated eateries within a ten-minute drive, including popular Mexican spot Laco Taco and Japanese fusion restaurant Sushi Story. Those looking for a bit of entertainment can always head down to Old Town Santa Clarita, which regularly hosts festivals and events — or just head across the river to Six Flags Magic Mountain, which sits just a couple of miles south of Val Verde.
