Lantana Hills Neighborhood in Newhall, CA
Today we’re happy to share about the secluded Lantana Hills community, located just off of Dockweiler Drive in Newhall of Santa Clarita. It’s worth mentioning that while this neighborhood is quite beautiful, it is not one of the more well known neighborhoods in Newhall. Why? It’s somewhat hidden away off the beaten path and although there is no gate, vehicle access is limited to just one way in and out of the community. There is no outlet or through traffic.

Overview of the Lantana Hills
As mentioned, Lantana Hills is a somewhat hidden and because it’s nicely tucked away down between the surrounding hills or mountains, much of the outside noise is naturally buffered, making it quiet and serene. We mention this because some might think the close proximity to the 14 freeway is a drawback, but based on our visits there’s no noise to speak of, making the location an added plus!
Pictures of typical homes in Lantana Hills
Built from 2000 to 2002, the community consists of 151 traditional two story homes. They range in size from approximately 2,297 to 3,185 square feet and come with four or five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a two or three car garage. The homes also have a family room and many come with a loft and/or a bonus room, den or office. Generally, all the bedrooms are upstairs, but some of the larger homes have one bedroom situated downstairs. Each home has a front and backyard and some residents can even sit out back while enjoying a view of the surrounding hillsides. A perfect spot to relax with your favorite beverage.
Drive Through Lantana Hills
When driving into the community you’re greeted by an attractive Lantana Hills sign. From there you’ll proceed down Oakhurst Drive to the bottom of the community. Basically, keep following the road while making left turns each time the road ends. Eventually, you’ll have circled back to Oakhurst Dr. Take a right, drive up the hill and exit the same way you entered. Like us, you will likely noticed the entire community is beautifully maintained.
Amenities & Local Conveniences
There is a lovely recreation area that has been beautifully landscaped and surrounded by trees. The palm trees are a nice added touch.
There’s a bean shaped swimming pool, hot tub, shaded lounge area, restrooms, a shower and drinking fountain. Yes, it’s smallish, but it’s still a relaxing way to enjoy a warm day here in Santa Clarita. Yes, there is monthly HOA fee, but there is NO MELLO ROOS!
Hiking Trails
There are no developed trails in the community, but there are plenty of nearby undeveloped dirt trails. Also, go about a half mile to the end of Dockweiler Drive to find hiking trails leading to a terrific view of a portion of City of Santa Clarita. There’s even a location designated in Google Maps!
Local Conveniences
Local convenience shopping and dining is located about 3 miles away over in Newhall or a little under 5 miles to the nearest Walmart and other large shopping centers. In fact, Old Town Newhall has been revitalized and a wonderful place for dining, movies, plays and more. There’s also Hart Park which is a well known local favorite.
