Tesoro Highlands Community Guide

Tesoro Highlands Community Signage

Tesoro Highlands is a new home development located at the top edge of the Tesoro Del Valle community in Valencia of Santa Clarita. The community will include approximately 1,270 acres of land with around 11 new neighborhoods and around 820 homes. Four of the neighborhoods are intended specifically for the 55+ crowd. The neighborhoods will be gated at various locations while providing access to 22 miles of improved trails. The two builders for the project are Lennar and Toll Brothers.

NOTE: This is not the HOA website.

UPDATE – June 2026: Since our last visit, Tesoro Highlands has seen steady progress across multiple neighborhoods. Construction is now complete in Alta Monte and Bella Terra, with only a small number of quick-move-in homes still available. Lennar is nearly finished with Arches and Montilla, where the last group of homes are under construction. Work continues on the main Retreat recreation center, which is nearly finished and scheduled to open later this summer. In the age-restricted communities, construction has wrapped up in PaseoEstrada and Toscana and the last homes in Sierra Bella will finish soon.

One of the defining characteristics of Tesoro Highlands is its thoughtfully planned collection of neighborhoods. From luxury hillside homes to active adult living, the community offers a broad range of home styles and floor plans to meet a variety of lifestyles.
