Aliento Community Overview
Development of Aliento began in early 2017 by two highly regarded builders, TRI Pointe Homes and Pardee Homes. Looking at the neighborhood map, there are five subdivisions including Arista, Tierno, Cresta, Lucera, and the separately gated Verano 55+ neighborhood. Throughout the community, you’ll notice a charming rustic ambiance, with most common areas thoughtfully landscaped using drought-tolerant plants and shrubs. The housing options range from traditional detached homes, spanning approximately 1,600 to almost 4,300 square feet. Although there are exceptions, most homes typically offer 2 to 5 bedrooms and 2 or 3-car garages. Walking through the models, it’s clear the architects made good use of space. Some homes even include a small alcove, specifically intended for Fido’s long naps.
If you are looking to buy a home in a new development there are more here in Santa Clarita. We offer full reports on nearly all Santa Clarita communities, including more neighborhoods in Canyon Country, Valencia, Saugus, Stevenson Ranch and Newhall.
Aliento Common Areas and Trails
The Aliento community boasts some truly remarkable common areas that possess a distinctive charm. The community’s streets, sidewalks, and hillsides are impeccably maintained, exuding an attractive appearance. The photo featured at the top of this page showcases one of the gated entrances, which is undeniably beautiful.
In contrast to many other local communities, Aliento doesn’t feature an abundance of lush green lawns or expansive greenbelts. This deliberate choice was made to harmonize with the natural landscape and prioritize water conservation. It’s commendable that the developers had the foresight to consider water conservation, particularly in light of potential future droughts. Most homes within Aliento embrace a landscaping approach that includes drought-tolerant plants, and some even opt for artificial turf.
The public trails originate from the Aborleda Trail Head and encircle the community’s outer perimeter. Notably, these trails eschew traditional concrete or asphalt surfaces in favor of hard, sand-like materials, reminiscent of the base paths on a baseball field or the old tracks around football fields from days past. This design choice provides a unique and pleasing hiking experience, allowing trail users to truly immerse themselves in the hills’ natural beauty.
Community HOA Amenities
The community’s recreational facilities are truly outstanding, offering a meticulously designed clubhouse, inviting swimming pools, a serene spa, a well-equipped gym, parks, trails, and all the modern conveniences one would anticipate.
In the Verano 55 Plus neighborhood, residents enjoy their own exceptional private recreational amenities.
Aliento as a whole is safeguarded by three separate sets of gated entries, and the Verano residents have their exclusive set of gated access points.
Our Observations
The overall natural and rustic aesthetics of the community are remarkably unique and distinguish it from other neighborhoods. The addition of a dog park is a thoughtful touch, and we also took note of the public trailhead which includes parking, restroom facilities, and a drinking fountain.
Public Schools & Transportation
As most parents will affirm, the schools in Santa Clarita are renowned for their excellence, and the schools in proximity to Aliento are no exception. The nearby elementary school is Golden Oak Community School, conveniently situated just beyond the community’s boundaries. Additionally, both Golden Valley High and La Mesa Junior High are a brief drive away.
Furthermore, the College of the Canyons, Canyon Country Campus, is located just a few miles to the north of Aliento, with the main campus situated across town in Valencia.
Transportation
Transportation options are readily available, with bus stops positioned at the community’s periphery and the Via Princessa Metro Link station just a short drive away. This convenient access allows residents to park their cars and opt for the train for their daily commutes or leisure activities.
Nearby Shopping & Dining
At the southwest edge of the community residents enjoy easy access to The Plaza at Golden Valley. Then, a little further down the road you’ll find perhaps the most popular store in Santa Clarita, Costco!
