Northwest Palmdale
Suburban Neighborhood in Lancaster, California
Los Angeles County 93551
Northwest Palmdale, an unincorporated community in the Antelope Valley, provides plenty of space, the final frontier in Los Angeles County. “There’s a lot of land there and room to build, and with L.A. getting squeezed, people are moving to the suburbs,” says Brandon Ilic, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Westlake Village. “With the advent of remote work, people can move to an area like Northwest Palmdale and find a bigger house for a better price and enjoy more of their home life.”
The neighborhood offers a variety of single-family housing on spacious lots. Custom-designed estate-style homes sit on at least 2 acres, providing room for luxury amenities such as pools. Ranch-style homes, from the traditional to more modern builds, are common throughout the neighborhood and sit on expansive lots as well. Some are even zoned for agriculture/livestock. Also prominent is a collection of multi-level homes featuring new construction and styles as varied as Spanish Mediterranean and modern on the same block. You also can find the occasional cozy remodel, which, of course, comes with 3 acres of land. Prices typically range from under $500,000 to more than $1.5 million, depending on the accompanying acreage. “The entry-level price is one of the most affordable in L.A. County,” says Ilic. “That draws a lot of people to the area.”
Students can attend Esperanza Elementary, Hillview Middle and Highland High schools -- all B-rated institutions by Niche. Highland High is a magnet school whose academic programs include instruction in sports medicine, fire technology and robotics, the latter offering the chance to compete in an international robot-building competition.
A technological background is especially helpful in Northwest Palmdale, as the aerospace industry is the city’s primary employer. NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman all have facilities nearby, roughly a mile east of the Antelope Valley Freeway, also known as Aerospace Highway. Those companies have engaged in research, development, assembly and testing of the Space Shuttle and many of the military’s high-performance planes in Palmdale for decades. “They provide a strong, sustainable economy that offers a lot of opportunities in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math,” says Ilic.
Along the freeway business corridor is an array of nearby retail and dining options concentrated around the Antelope Valley Mall. Residents have easy access to stores such as Walmart, Dillard’s and Macy’s and restaurants that include Fire Island Grill, a highly rated Hawaiian eatery, and Yard House, a New American restaurant known for its selection of beer.
Northwest Palmdale’s open spaces are perfect for horsing around. The neighborhood is home to the Antelope Valley Desert Riders Equestrian Center, a Palmdale institution since 1939. The oldest equestrian club in the county puts on monthly shows for children and adults to show off their skills. Marie Kerr Park, located just outside the neighborhood, is a sprawling recreational center that features a regional softball complex, an aquatic center and colorful basketball courts among its athletic amenities. It also includes the Palmdale Amphitheater, site of the annual Kaleidoscope Art & Music Festival each October as well as movie nights throughout the year.
Settle down in Northwest Palmdale, where you can live long and prosper. “It’s a great place to raise a family,” says Ilic. “It’s quiet suburban living.”
