Valencia by FivePoint recently celebrated the opening of two new community parks, Verve Park and Riparian Park, further enriching outdoor options for residents and their guests. The new parks are an extension of FivePoint's commitment to creating inviting outdoor settings for people and their pets to enjoy.
Connecting to the Eastlink greenway, Verve Park features roomy lawns, a kids' playground, an outdoor fitness zone, and a handy bike rack. Future additions include a ValenciaGO mobility hub. Verve Park also includes a community clubhouse, and residents will be able to reserve this space for parties, meetings, and private events.
The November 1 opening of Riparian Park added even more choices for Valencia residents. Just above Verve Park on Riparian Avenue, Riparian is a new park of the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department. It features basketball courts, a sports field, and a playground, plus family picnic areas, trails, and native landscapes.
About 10,000 of Valencia's 15,000 acres are dedicated to open space that is interwoven with diverse discovery points and biking, hiking, and pedestrian trails. "You see beauty, not power lines, and it really feels like a nature setting," said one homeowner. "The location and the quiet atmosphere make this an oasis."
Award-winning Confluence Park is a community core, with expansive lawns for family picnics and special events. Resort-style features include a lap pool, kiddie pool, spa, and cabanas. "We feel safe and comfortable here," said one homeowner. "The walkability and our pools and cabana are like a vacation at home."
Confluence Park also holds a large Community Garden, where all ages are welcomed to join the Gardening Club. "Our daughter is learning about plants and flowers, and we love being able to socialize so easily," said one homeowner.
The Eastlink Greenway connects diverse destinations within Valencia. This network of walking, biking, and Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) paths connect to Confluence and Verve Parks and will lead to more parks and open space in the future. A pump track serves those seeking two-wheeled fun, and there's also a bike repair stand and a shaded pavilion for relaxing and rehydrating.
Throughout the community, outdoor seating niches, small parks, and sidewalk systems invite enjoyment without a drive. Adjacent trails make it easy to hike from home and connect with regional networks. "Whether it's casual chats at the park or kids playing together, there's a real sense of connection here," said a homeowner.
The Valencia Farmers Market offers fresh produce and artisan fare every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Special presentations are geared to the seasons. Further highlighting the market is The Wandering Shelf, a pop-up mobile bookshop that underscores FivePoint's commitment to education in the Santa Clarita Valley. The bookshop will visit next on December 7. More festivities for the holidays are on the horizon with music, food, and fun. Visit www.Valencia.com and www.Facebook.com/ValenciaCalifornia.
In the heart of Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita Valley, the community is close to retail, dining options, and more. Adjacency to I-5 puts area job centers within easy reach, as well as Cal Arts, College of the Canyons, and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. Nearby access to Metrolink, additional freeways, and airports enhances convenience to multiple destinations.
Elementary school children will be part of the Newhall School District or the Saugus School District, and the William S. Hart District serves junior high and high school students. Families at Valencia can count on high educational value.
Valencia by FivePoint homes offer detached and attached designs in a wide range of prices and plan sizes. Each home includes low-E windows, upgraded insulation, rooftop solar, and tankless water heaters with closed loop systems. Level 2 electric vehicle chargers are planned for existing and future homes. Valencia's selection of new home choices is in 10 collections by builders such as KB Home, Lennar, Richmond American Homes, Toll Brothers, and Tri Pointe Homes.
