As the third largest city in Los Angeles County, there’s a lot of housing options in Santa Clarita. Living nearby to the Highway 14 in the SCV is a common request.
Choosing to live near Highway 14 sometimes has to do with budget, and other times the distance of your work commute.
A few of the communities you might consider in this region of the Santa Clarita Valley would include, Newhall and Canyon Country. There are numerous subdivisions in these two areas of the Santa Clarita Valley.
If you’re searching for homes, you’d want to be using the zip code filter, and input 91321, 91351 and 91387. Your distance to a Highway 14 on or off-ramp will vary.
Your Budget For An SCV Home
What’s your budget? If you are future searching and don’t want to speak with a local pro yet, I get it. However if this move to Santa Clarita is imminent, then I suggest partnering with a great lender and local agent. You’ll want to get certain on your home budget and have help narrowing down the pros and cons of each area and subdivision.

Get To Know Santa Clarita
Before moving to our city, you should get to know it in person. I know that can be difficult if your time frames are short and physical distance currently is far.
Most real estate agents will provide virtual appointments if needed, where they can take you to a property or area to show you around, live, via video chat.
Living within a short distance of the 14 freeway can have its drawbacks. You may hear highway vehicle noise, and you may contend with traffic from other motorists who travel to the Antelope Valley.
