Review of Santa Clarita, California


Different ways of life in different parts of SCV
Star Rating - 10/15/2009
So basically you can be rich and live in Santa Clarita. But then again, you can be poor and still live in Santa Clarita. There are different parts of this city, you have Newhall where it is mostly a Mexican population which still isn't too bad of a community environment, but probably these least rich part of the Santa Clarita Valley. Next up the ladder is Canyon Country...where I personally live. Where there is a good mix of White, Mexican, Asian, and African American people. This part of town has a movie theater and can be an alright place to live. Next up is Castaic, there are nice homes, and there are okay homes, but whether or not you live in this part of the city, you are pretty far away from everyone else. Next up is the Steven Ranch area where the moderately richer people live. There are quite a few town homes and nice houses alongside golf courses. This is also the hot spot for fast food, there is a place called "Hamburger Hill" where basically any SoCal fast food can be found. Of coarse there is also Sic Flags Magic Mountain, Santa Clarita's Theme Park! And there are quite a few restaurants along this area as well. Last but not least is the most popular place of the city, Valencia. This is where the movie theater, mall, city hall and a plethora of restaurants and car dealerships are located. Each part of the City of Santa Clarita has their own high school and it is expanding more than ever. Believe me I've lived here my entire life and I am 20 years old now, so I've seen it develop along the years. Not a bad place to live, could be a lot worse, and since there is a large high school population, there is a large high school kid population. Anymore questions? Ask.
