The homeowner's associations serving the different neighborhoods has been a long time source of confusion. There are multiple HOA's and it's not always obvious which amenities go with each neighborhood. The best way to verify this information is to ask the local residents or check with an experienced realtor.

We hope you find this community report to be helpful. We make every effort to provide first hand information that is accurate and reliable. We do business and socialize here in Rainbow Glen on a regular basis and have insights not found elsewhere.

The Rainbow Glen community is a little different than some other planned communities throughout Santa Clarita. Instead one homeowner's association for all the neighborhoods, Rainbow Glen consists of numerous neighborhoods, and over time it evolved and grew. It is split up into several different HOA’s, but the common denominators are, the entire area is beautiful, well maintained, peaceful and serene.

Realtor Tip
Some realtors have a difficult time correctly identifying and which HOA is associated with a particular home. Be very careful and be sure to verify everything. Double check with the seller and then again early in the escrow process. The costs for one HOA could be dramatically different than another.
