As the number of senior living 55 plus communities in Santa Clarita continue to grow, active adults have more options than ever before when buying homes in suitable communities.
NOTE: Here, you will only see senior living communities with single family homes, townhomes or condos for sale. We do not include mobile home communities, assisted living facilities or rentals.
Once upon a time options were quite limited for active adults but that’s no longer true. Yes, we still have the Friendly Valley neighborhoods and of course there are a number of senior specific mobile home parks, but you might be surprised at some of the senior homes in the newer developments.
In fact, some of these neighborhoods are quite luxurious, resembling small resorts. Others are more modest but one thing they all have in common are amenities geared toward active, 55 plus seniors.

Active Adult Community Prices
The photo above was taken in the classic, Friendly Valley community. This is the oldest and most affordable 55 plus in SCV. It’s well maintained and really is quite lovely.
Depending on which community you choose, the price can be very steep. To be honest, it makes us wonder if home prices in some areas are too far out of reach for the majority of our local 55+ crowd.
To be sure, brand new homes in the recently developed 55 Plus communities can be quite costly. Thankfully, there are still some reasonably priced homes usually available in Friendly Valley.
Be sure to have a look at all our senior living communities and reports. We provide first hand information, photos and videos intended to help our local seniors find and buy their perfect homes for this stage of their lives.
How are the Senior Living Communities in Santa Clarita Different than Non Age Restricted neighborhoods?
This is an interesting question and it really depends on the community. Some of these newer 55 Plus communities are similar to mini resorts. Usually, but not always, the homes tend to be smaller and are single story. Even if it’s a 2 story home, usually the master bedroom and bathroom is downstairs.
One thing active adult communities all have in common are the amenities. Usually the amenities are quite nice and geared toward seniors. They also have organized, age appropriate activities and clubs.
Here in Santa Clarita, most of the adult communities are gated and secure. Many of the homes will be a bit smaller and often single story homes.
There’s plenty more to share on this but I think you get the picture. For sure, the newer homes will be more accessible for seniors AND more expensive. Keep in mind, these senior designated 55 Plus communities are intended for ACTIVE seniors and NOT assisted living.
If you are over the age of 55, your real estate needs will be different than say, those of a first-time homebuyer or seller. Perhaps you are ready to retire or simply just downsize.

Typically, the amenities in a 55+ community are geared toward active seniors. Some communities are even themed to fit a particular interest. Of course, golf is a common neighborhood theme but in other areas outside of Santa Clarita there are plenty more. It's very interesting and might be worth doing further research to see if there are any themed communities that might fit your passion.
Typical Active Adult Amenities
In most communities you'll usually find the same amenities as in other neighborhoods. These might include a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, access to trail systems, etc. In a senior living community there are usually additional amenities, specifically geared towards active adults. Examples of some of the amenities found in the Santa Clarita active adult communities include, arts and crafts, community gardens, outdoor kitchens, fitness centers, bocce courts, game rooms, card rooms, libraries, etc.
Planned Activities
Most senior communities offer various organized social activities for those wishing to join in the fun.
Just because a specific community or neighborhood is not labeled as 55+ does NOT mean it wouldn't work out well for active adults. So, what makes a good neighborhood for the 55 + crowd?
Most designated 55+ neighborhoods include smaller, single story homes or townhomes. Or, if 2 story homes, usually the primary bathroom and bathroom is situated downstairs with a guest room upstairs. Seniors appreciate the bathrooms being outfitted with hand rails and such. Well, there are plenty of contractors available to make any home more senior friendly. Gated neighborhoods are nice, but not really a requirement. The community amenities and activities are important but if you live in a community without those activities, Santa Clarita has a terrific Senior Center.
The bottom line is, there are many terrific housing options for active adults here in Santa Clarita. Yes, 55 Plus communities often have benefits, but there are plenty more suitable neighborhoods as well.
