Important Information About HOA's & Mello Roos
Unlike some other Santa Clarita communities, you won't find any Mello Roos taxes here in Happy Valley. Also, unless it's in a newer gated community, there won't be any home owner's associations. Not having a homeowner's association can be both good and bad. Without a HOA, there are no community amenities and no standard guidelines for design. There is also no common area maintenance management. Basically, it's up to each resident to keep their homes and yards well cared for.

On the other side of the coin, it's obvious many of the homes are custom built or upgraded. When driving through Happy Valley you'll notice the neighborhood is just gorgeous, so NO HOA is needed.

Typical Homes in Happy Valley

First, there's nothing "typical" about the Happy Valley homes. Most were built from 1942 all the way to 2007 but many were developed from the mid 50's to the mid 60's. Then, there are newer developments spread out from the 70's all the way to 2007. Many homes have been remodeled and upgraded and some even include a rare guest house or casitas.

Although one might think the older home would be less expensive, that would be incorrect. These homes are classically gorgeous and the prices reflect the same. Most homes have 3 or 4 bedrooms and are sized from 1500 sq ft to 2000 sq ft. Then, there are a few larger up to 3000 sq ft and a small hand full over 3000.

Unique, Classic, Elegant Beauty

Some visitors are surprised to discover the elegant beauty of the Happy Valley neighborhoods. Then, even more surprised to see the number of unique, classic homes, some with over the top extensive upgrades. Take a look at the homes for sale and you'll see what we mean. This community screams CUSTOM and there is none of that tract home type feel whatsoever. There's lots of mature shade trees blanketing the entire neighborhood and there's plenty of elbow room.
