Woodcreek Neighborhood Overview
Woodcreek consists of a variety of detached single story and two story homes. There are no condominiums or townhomes. In fact, it’s nice to see neighborhoods with more single story houses as they have become rare, especially in newer neighborhoods.
The homes here are approximately sized from just under 1,000 SF up to 2,000 SF. The most common home sizes are from 1,200 to 1,400 SF and come with 3 or 4 bedrooms. All homes have front and back yards and some have built in swimming pools.
The primary attraction of Woodcreek might be more about what it does not have, as opposed to what is does have! Unlike most neighborhoods in Valencia, there is NO homeowner’s association and NO Mello Roos Tax! Not having a HOA is rare here because nearly all master planned communities of Valencia have at least one HOA.
It’s interesting, of all the Valencia communities this one does NOT fit the profile of a typical Valencia neighborhood. We are not implying there’s anything wrong with Woodcreek whatsoever! In fact, we once owned a terrific pool home here and we loved it! The neighborhood is really quite nice, but it is older and certainly not what most would visualize when comparing with other Valencia neighborhoods. However, with housing costs continually on the rise buyers might find a more affordable option here! Let us know if we can help!

Since there is no homeowners association, there are no HOA fees or private community amenities. Some folks don’t care for homeowners associations but others feel the opposite and might miss the amenities.
Regardless of how the locals feel about HOA’s, everyone enjoys spending time at Santa Clarita Park. It’s located just south of Woodcreek and it’s an easy walk for most residents. There’s a swimming pool, large playground, basketball court, picnic areas, barbecues, a baseball diamond, expansive greenbelts and plenty of mature shade trees.
As you’ll see below, conveniently located just next door to the park is Santa Clarita Elementary School. So, even though Woodcreek has no HOA or private amenities, there are still public areas everyone can enjoy.
With regard to home pricing, when comparing to the cost of houses in other Valencia communities the homes in Woodcreek will be at the lower end of the spectrum.
