Examples of Homes in Stevenson Ranch
Here’s a small sampling of the home styles commonly found throughout the community—ranging from traditional single-family homes to hillside properties with stunning curb appeal.
Community Overview
Stevenson Ranch is a large, master-planned community made up of approximately 46 neighborhoods—39 north of Pico Canyon Road, 7 to the south, and a brand-new subdivision, Aidlin Hills, is currently in development. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains, the community borders the historic town of Mentryville and offers a lovely, well-maintained environment that continues to attract homebuyers year after year.
From the start, Stevenson Ranch was thoughtfully planned—and it still shows today. As you enter the community via Stevenson Ranch Parkway, one of the first things you’ll notice is the beautiful waterfall monument, a local landmark that sets the tone for the neighborhood.
Tree-lined streets, mountain views, and carefully maintained landscaping give the area a clean, welcoming feel. It’s not just a great place to live—it’s the kind of community where people settle in and stay. In fact, many original homeowners still live in the same homes they purchased decades ago.
If you’re considering a move to the Santa Clarita Valley, Stevenson Ranch is definitely worth a look.
Traditional Homes and Styles
As you explore the area, you’ll find a wide variety of homes and architectural styles—ranging from traditional single-family homes to a handful of townhomes and condos, both attached and detached. Many homes feature front and back yards, and some hillside properties come with breathtaking views, pools, and custom upgrades. Unlike many newer communities, most homes here were built with traditional green landscaping—complete with lawns, shade trees, and established gardens that give the neighborhoods a more classic, inviting feel.
Adding to the charm, several of the community’s streets are named after famous authors—like Poe Parkway, Hemingway Avenue, and Twain Place—giving the neighborhoods a unique and thoughtful character.

Common Area Photo Gallery
Take a look at some of the beautifully maintained HOA green spaces throughout Stevenson Ranch. These quiet park areas feature trees, benches, and walking paths. We’ve also included a photo of the private rec area in Southern Oaks.
Stevenson Ranch Amenities
Stevenson Ranch isn’t known for large-scale rec centers, but it does offer a variety of small, thoughtfully placed amenities that add to its charm. Throughout the community, you’ll find well-maintained green spaces with shade trees, park benches, half basketball courts, picnic tables, and a few tot lots—perfect for a casual stroll or outdoor play.
The condo and townhome neighborhoods include their own shared amenities like pools, spas, and sport courts, depending on the complex.
Among single-family home neighborhoods, Southern Oaks stands out as the only one in Stevenson Ranch with a private pool, spa, and clubhouse—a rare perk in an area primarily made up of traditional homes and hillside manors.
At the bottom line, HOA fees are generally modest, mainly covering common area upkeep. Condo and townhome communities usually have higher fees due to added amenities. Also, in some neighborhoods, the original Mello Roos taxes have expired—and were not renewed, offering potential long-term savings for homeowners.
Parks and Local Conveniences
Residents enjoy three beautiful parks situated directly within Stevenson Ranch and each has it’s own unique appeal.
Richard H. Rioux Memorial Park: Located just below Stevenson Ranch Elementary, this central park is a local favorite. It features a baseball diamond, basketball court, two tennis courts, a large playground, jogging trail, and plenty of open green space—great for picnics and relaxing outdoors.
Jake Kuredjian County Park Next to Pico Canyon Elementary, this smaller park offers restrooms, grassy areas, picnic tables and access to beautiful developed walking trails surrounded by mature shade trees.
Pico Canyon Park: Tucked along the south edge of the community, this rustic park leads into the nearby foothills. It’s great for local hiking and the stair climb. We’ll cover more on that in the Activities section below.
Shopping and Dining
Stevenson Ranch offers a variety of shopping and dining locations at the base of the community. First up is the Valencia Marketplace, a large retail center stretching from Stevenson Ranch Pkwy to Pico Canyon Rd.

Climb the Pico Canyon Stairs
A few years ago, the Pico Canyon Stairs gained attention on social media as a go-to spot for a challenging outdoor workout—and they’re still a favorite among local hikers and fitness enthusiasts. The trailhead begins at Pico Canyon Park, leading into the scenic Stevenson Ranch foothills. Along the way, you might pass the relocated oak tree known as “Old Glory” and catch glimpses of early morning wildlife.
