Situated in Southern California, Santa Clarita Valley is an opulent suburb surrounded by nature preserves. The northern section of the region encompasses Castaic Lake State Recreation Park, while the eastern and western sides of the area are bordered by the Santa Clarita Woodlands Park and the Golden Valley Ranch Open Space. Also located in the valley are meandering trails that follow along the river and connect to scenic community parks. Located just 35 miles north of Los Angeles, Santa Clarita offers more than the great outdoors. Places like Six Flags Magic Mountain, sprawling golf courses, and premier shopping at plazas like Westfield Valencia Town Center are all located within Santa Clarita Valley. More shopping and retail centers can be found off Lyons Avenue and Soledad Canyon Road, while Main Street’s locally owned cafes, specialty shops, and restaurants provide a nice contrast to large commercial plazas.
