Valencia is made up of distinct master-planned villages, each with its own character, amenities, and price range. Here is a quick overview of the communities Holly Thompson Homes serves across Valencia:
Valenica High School
West Ranch High School
Rio Norte Junior High

Valencia is served by two highly regarded school districts: the Saugus Union School District for elementary school and the William S. Hart Union High School District for middle and high school. Residents consistently rate the local public schools as one of Valencia’s strongest quality-of-life attributes.
Key schools serving Valencia communities include Valencia High School, West Ranch High School (California Distinguished School recognition), Rio Norte Junior High, Rancho Pico Junior High, and Bridgeport Elementary — uniquely located within the Bridgeport community itself. Several Valencia elementary schools hold California Distinguished School designations.

Almost every Valencia community has a homeowner’s association (HOA). Monthly dues vary widely depending on the neighborhood — from as low as $50 per month in Northpark to several hundred per month in communities with more extensive amenities or newer construction.
Mello Roos is a supplemental tax added to your property tax bill annually. It is common in newer Valencia developments and can add a meaningful cost to monthly homeownership. Older, established Valencia neighborhoods — like The Summit, Northpark, Woodlands, Creekside, and Bridgeport — typically have no Mello Roos, which is a significant financial advantage worth factoring into any home search.
Holly Thompson Homes can walk you through the specific HOA and Mello Roos costs for any Valencia community or individual property. It is one of the first things we clarify for every buyer we work with.
What makes Valencia more than just a great place to buy a home is the lifestyle it offers. The community is famous for its paseo system — over 40 miles of beautifully landscaped, car-free walking and biking paths that wind through neighborhoods, connect to parks, and link residents to schools, shopping, and recreation without ever touching a car. It is a feature unique to Valencia and one that residents cite constantly as a reason they never want to leave.
Valencia is also home to Westfield Valencia Town Center, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, College of the Canyons, and Six Flags Magic Mountain — making it a practical, full-service community as well as a beautiful one. For commuters, Interstate 5 provides direct access to downtown Los Angeles in approximately 30–40 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
