Generally, if your child goes to a Junior High in a specific area, they will go to a "matching" High School.
The HS boundaries are the same as the Junior High boundaries.

It is possible to get a waiver for a child to attend a different school in the district.

SENIOR COMMUNITIES IN SANTA CLARITA

The two largest homeowner communities for active adults over age 55 in Santa Clarita

are Friendly Valley (east Newhall), and Valencia Belcaro (north Valencia.)

Friendly Valley is a sprawling community made up of 11 different Homeowners Associations,

each with their own minor variations on the 55+ lifestyle.

An expensive buy-in, of approximately $5,500 gets the new homeowner many niceties,

not the least of which is membership in the 9-hole private golf course.

All of the homes there are single story bungalows

built in the late 60's but have been impeccably maintained over the years.



Belcaro is comprised of two tracts: The Greens, and The Liberty.

Homes have either two master bedrooms or a master plus one bedroom or media room.

One model features 2 bedrooms and 3.5 baths has a casita.

Of utmost importance to some seniors, there are a few homes there that are single story.

Home sizes range from 1700 to 2400 square feet.

The recreation center includes an art studio, a library,

outdoor kitchen, a game room, a massage room, a performing arts studio,

a mini cafe, a health and fitness gym,

men and women's locker room, basketball court and conference center.

Prices range from the low $600's to the mid $700's. Belcaro has a garden club where they can grow

vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. 

More recently,  Aliento in Canyon Country and

Galloway at Five Knolls became the newest and most

upscale communities in the city for age 55+ wanting to own a home.

These are new construction homes priced starting in the $600's. Lots of space and clean fresh air.

There are a dozen apartment complexes spread out over the Santa Clarita Valley,

but Fountain Glen in Stevenson Ranch, and Bouquet Canyon in Saugus

are the ones for homeowners looking to change to renting to look into, due to their focus on adults over age 55.

Strangely, they made the Galloway residences 2 story... though the master bedroom is on the main floor.
