Beautiful residential neighborhoods are companioned with all the ingredients for an outstanding quality of life - excellent schools, houses of worship, neighborhood recreation centers, local and regional parks, childcare centers and convenient shopping. Residents can find outstanding healthcare at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital and a number of additional health care providers. The community is also home to Valencia Gateway, the largest center for business and technology in Los Angeles County. Valencia residents can take comfort in knowing that their community is part of one of the safest cities in the country. The FBI has consistently ranked Santa Clarita among the nation's six safest cities among municipalities with populations over 100,000.
Valencia residents take well-deserved pride in their public schools.
Standardized test scores place the majority of area schools in the top 10 percent in California. Most local elementary, junior and senior high schools have earned the distinction of California Distinguished Schools and several have received National Blue Ribbon honors as well. The paseos are a favorite community feature for many Valencia residents. Adults jog or stroll along these quiet pathways from early morning until late at night. All the paseos, except in nature preserves, are well-lit.
