The San Marino, Chelsea, and Windermere neighborhoods offer traditional single-family homes, while the gated Stratford Collection provides a charming selection of townhomes. Homebuyers will find a variety of homes available in different price ranges. Historically, turnover rates for home sales here are low, and it’s easy to see why.

Trails and Wildlife
Santa Clarita locals all enjoy many trails throughout Valencia, but those here in the Summit are something special. It’s like hiking through a protected wildlife refuge. Although there are multiple entry points, the trail system begins at Summit Park and extends up to Del Monte Dr. Then, there’s another trail system that goes back down to the east. The park and trails are open to the public, so take a morning walk someday and we promise, you will love it! Be advised, once you traverse further west from the park, the trails can be quite steep, so it can be a strenuous hike. Also, be cautious of critters such as snakes, coyotes, etc.
Parks
There’s also the Summit Park with a playground, tennis courts, a picnic area and some of the most lovely trails and Paseos in Valencia. By the way, the flatter trails extend around the park, so they are stroller and wheelchair friendly. Be advised, as of 2024 there are NO RESTROOMS at Summit Park.
