Valencia by FivePoint, a master-planned community in the Santa Clarita Valley, is redefining sustainable living with a comprehensive approach that combines energy-efficient homes, innovative transportation options, and abundant open spaces. The community's commitment to net zero greenhouse gas emissions and zero-net-energy homes and buildings positions it as a national model for environmentally friendly development. With panoramic hillside views and a design that prioritizes nature, Valencia offers a lifestyle that appeals to singles, couples, families, and empty nesters alike.
At the heart of Valencia's sustainability ethos are its homes, built by some of the nation's most prominent builders. Sixteen diverse home collections feature detached and attached designs in single-, two-, and three-story styles, ranging from 1,326 to 3,731 square feet. Every home is equipped with advanced energy-efficient features such as rooftop solar panels with data monitoring, tankless water heaters with closed-loop systems, Low-E windows, upgraded insulation, and Level 2 EV chargers planned in garages. These elements not only reduce environmental impact but also lower utility costs for residents. For those interested in exploring available homes, builders like Lennar and Richmond American Homes offer detailed information on their respective websites, www.lennar.com and www.richmondamerican.com.
Beyond the homes, Valencia addresses mobility through VALENCIA GO®, a transportation management organization that provides eco-friendly alternatives. Residents can access subsidy programs for zero-emission vehicles, e-bikes, neighborhood electric vehicles, and transit. A network of trails and walkways dedicated to NEVs, bikes, e-bikes, and pedestrians enhances the community's walkability. A recent $100,000 contribution from VALENCIA GO to Santa Clarita Transit will bring a zero-emission bus to the area, connecting residents to downtown Santa Clarita and top-ranked schools in the Newhall, Saugus, and William S. Hart school districts. The Mobility Hub at Verve Park further offers electric car-sharing through Envoy Technologies and a bikeshare program with Drop Mobility, giving residents convenient low-emission options.
Valencia's parks are integral to its sustainable design. Confluence Park features a lap pool, kiddie pool, spa, cabanas, and a community garden, while Verve Park includes expansive lawns, a playground, an outdoor fitness zone, and a clubhouse. Riparian Park, a Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation facility, offers basketball courts, a sports field, and picnic areas. These spaces preserve open space acreage and foster community interaction, with residents praising the family-friendly atmosphere and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Education is another cornerstone of the community, with children attending schools in the Newhall, Saugus, and William S. Hart districts. The proximity to quality schools adds to Valencia's appeal for families seeking a balanced lifestyle. As the community continues to develop, plans include adding a transportation hub with a bus transit center. Upon full buildout, Valencia by FivePoint is poised to become one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly communities of its kind in the nation.
