Explore New Housing Communities in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is seeing exciting growth, with several new home communities in various stages of development. Some neighborhoods are nearly sold out, others are just getting started, and a few are brand new to the market. Even if a community’s initial phase has sold out, we still include it below if it’s part of the recent wave of new construction in the area.
Want to compare these neighborhoods? Scroll below for helpful overviews, builder info, and links to detailed reports.
FivePoint Valencia – 20,000-Home Master-Planned Community
Located just west of Magic Mountain, FivePoint Valencia is one of the largest and most talked-about new home communities in Santa Clarita. Construction began around 2020, and as of 2026, the first phase is nearly complete.
While you won’t find many traditional single-family homes with large yards, this modern development offers a wide mix of options—apartment-style flats, attached and detached condos, townhomes, and single-family residences. However, most of the lots are compact, which suits some buyers well but might not be ideal for those seeking more space. Check out our detailed guide covering the FivePoint Valencia MLS Area.
Confused about detached condos vs. single-family homes? You’re not alone. Many homes here are marketed as single-family, but are technically condos on title. Click here to learn more in our detailed post.
Pelona Hills – New Community in Sand Canyon
Pelona Hills is a new housing community currently under construction in the Sand Canyon area of Santa Clarita. Built by Intracorp, the neighborhood will feature modern, single-family homes in an elevated hillside setting. Development is progressing quickly, with models expected to open later.

HOA’s and Mello Roos in New Developments
If you’re planning to buy a brand new home be sure to consider the additional costs for monthly HOA dues and Mello Roos Tax, if any.
HOA Facts: What You Should Know
Did you know some communities in Santa Clarita have HOA fees—even though they don’t offer any usable amenities? In those cases, your monthly dues typically go toward maintaining common areas, landscaping, and shared infrastructure.
Fortunately, most newer neighborhoods do include recreational perks like pools, spas, clubhouses, and even tennis courts. HOA costs can vary quite a bit—some are modest, while others (especially in new construction communities) can be fairly high.
Click here to read our full post about what buyers should know about HOAs.
Mello Roos
Most, (not all) new housing developments in Santa Clarita come with a Mello Roos Tax and this must be considered into your home loan equation. The costs can be surprisingly high, so be prepared and be sure to verify BEFORE making a purchase offer. We have seen transactions fall through because the agent representing the buyer did not have the foresight to VERIFY prior to making an offer. Some agents from outside SCV do not take these costs seriously and occasionally the deal falls through.

CAUTION! Before Visiting New Developments
If you’re considering buying a new home in any new community, reach out to us BEFORE visiting or signing up with the builder. Having us represent you ensures that your best interest is protected throughout the process.
Benefits of Working With Us When Buying a Home in a New Development
When you work with us you can rest easy knowing you have an added layer of protection. Remember, the builder’s representatives are sales people and it’s their job to sell.They are very good at it! Of course, they will talk up the positive and avoid the negative. Unless you know the right questions to ask, they may not willingly offer up all the information you need to make accurate and informed decisions.
If the developer is NOT offering us a reasonable commission, we can still help! Work with us to sell your current home and we’ll share questions to ask before buying.
Thankfully, we have a great deal of local knowledge and thoroughly investigate all new developments in our area. We provide our buyers with all the known positive AND negative aspects of each community, the neighborhoods, homes, amenities, local conveniences and more. We will be with you when you tour the community, meet with the sales agents and every step of the way.
Selling Your Current Home to Buy in New Development
CAUTION: Sometimes, in new developments the sales agents will NOT accept your offer to buy a brand new home if it is contingent upon the sale of your current home. Alternatively, they may offer to buy your home. As you probably know, they are not doing this out of kindness. If you agree, you will in fact take a hit on your sale!
Example: The fair market value of your home is $800,000. 20% of that is $160,000. Heck, even if it’s just $40K, do you really want to give up $40,000? This is your hard earned equity and you must protect it!
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If you have a good lender/realtor team and do some proper planning, you can get your home sold fast and for the highest price. Then you’ll be in position to buy that brand new home, without taking a financial hit! We have options and solutions to help with this!
