Castaic, CA
Castaic -
2/17/2014Formerly a "truck stop" town, Castaic is the last town before going over the Grapevine, heading North on I-5 towards San Francisco. The town is unincorporated and sits among the hills, within the Santa Clarita Valley, about 40-50 miles from downtown LA. Castaic and Santa Clarita offer affordable housing, good schools, a low crime rate and distance from the heavy population within the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Castaic is approximately 45 miles down highway 126 from Ventura, California and the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 90 minutes from beautiful Santa Barbara. A great place to raise a family and just enough distance from LA to enjoy it when you want and feel like you've left it behind when it becomes too much.
