About the Plum Canyon Community
Development in Plum Canyon began in the mid-1980s and continued steadily through about 2021, with the final neighborhoods built by Toll Brothers on the east end of the community. In general, newer homes are found farther east along Plum Canyon Road, while many of the original neighborhoods are closer to Bouquet Canyon Road on the western side.
Thoughtfully planned and well maintained, Plum Canyon has matured into a desirable community with a wide variety of home styles and settings. Tree-lined streets, hillside neighborhoods, and newer developments all contribute to the area’s long-standing appeal, giving buyers a broad range of options within a single community.
The Homes
Homes in Plum Canyon vary widely in style, size, and layout. Most neighborhoods feature traditional single-family homes, ranging from comfortable single-story residences to larger, more upscale homes, including many hillside properties with scenic views.
For buyers interested in condo living, Plum Canyon is also home to two well-known communities: Mariposa and Bordeaux. Both offer a different lifestyle than single-family neighborhoods and are popular options among Santa Clarita condo buyers.
As with most large communities, home pricing in Plum Canyon depends on location, home type, and current market conditions. Some neighborhoods are subject to a Mello Roos, while others are not. We provide helpful information about Mello Roos so you can easily determine whether a specific home carries this additional cost.

HOAs & Amenities
Plum Canyon is a little different than many other Santa Clarita communities. Some neighborhoods have a Homeowners Association, while others do not. In a few cases, certain neighborhoods even have two HOAs. In some areas, HOA fees cover only common area maintenance, while in others they include access to shared amenities such as swimming pools, spas, or recreation rooms.
Because Plum Canyon is made up of so many separate neighborhoods, HOA rules and amenities can vary quite a bit from one subdivision to the next. Be sure to scroll down to the subdivisions section below for details about each individual neighborhood.
There are also private recreational amenities within the Mariposa and Bordeaux condo and townhome communities, which include features such as pools and clubhouse facilities.
Some homeowners appreciate having an HOA because it can help maintain a consistent appearance and protect property values. Others prefer communities without HOA fees. Both options are available in Plum Canyon, giving buyers flexibility based on their preferences.
Local Conveniences
Residents enjoy convenient access to shopping and dining at Skyline Ranch Plaza, located near the top of the community. Popular stops include Starbucks, Grocery Outlet, and other everyday services.
Nearby Fire Station 128
Although Plum Canyon is tucked back in the hills of Santa Clarita, residents take comfort in knowing that LA County Fire Station 128 is located at the east edge of the community.
New Plum Canyon Park
Plum Canyon Park is also located on the east side of the community and offers a covered picnic or party area, a full basketball court, a baseball diamond, greenbelt space, restrooms, and more. Since the park is still relatively new, it will take some time for the trees to mature and provide additional shade.
David March Park
David March Park is a neighborhood park with parking, restrooms, mature shade trees, a grassy area, and a playground for younger children. The recently upgraded park is also home to the March Family Memorial Bell, making it a nice spot to visit.
Nearby Schools
Plum Canyon Elementary School is centrally located within the community, making it a convenient option for local families. A future school, Skyline Elementary, has been planned for the area. Nearby schools currently serving Plum Canyon include:
- Saugus High School
- Arroyo Seco Junior High
- Plum Canyon Elementary School
