Masterplanned community’s stylized suburbia
This master-planned community started in 1987, designed to resemble an idealized suburban layout, with sidewalks and spacious yards. The community has been shown off in the film “Pleasantville” and the television show “Weeds.” Spanish Revivals and stucco homes give the area a distinct, southern Californian feel, but unique touches make it feel fresh. Many street names are literary homages, with names such as Shakespeare Lane, Poe Parkway, Chaucer Place and Huxley Drive.
Most single-family homes have three or more bedrooms and sell for a median of a million dollars. Customization like private pools and landscaping can increase the price tag. Smaller townhouses and condominiums are available, with many selling for under a million. “Good range of first-time homebuyers and more established. The houses are all very modern and the [community] is very clean,” says Furmidge. “The Home Owner’s Association dues are super low, so it maintains the area without having to come up with a huge HOA payment every month.”

Having grown up and lived in Santa Clarita for over 34 years, I have seen our wonderful valley go through many changes. Outside of the 8 years I was in the Marine Corps the Santa Clarita Valley has and will continue to be home for me. I believe that today more than ever as a real estate professional you need to be specialized in a specific area. That is why I have chosen to focus my business in the valley where I went to school, go to church, played multiple sports, where I currently coach and most importantly where I chose to settle down and raise my family. My clients are expecting me to advise them correctly on every aspect of the home buying/selling experience and I take that job very seriously. First rate customer service and an excellent knowledge of the market is what has allowed me to be extremely successful and which is why so far in my career over 50% of my business has come from past clients. If you are looking for an agent who knows Santa Clarita like nobody else and who has a business model made up of first rate customer service, integrity, knowledge and honesty then I am am your guy. Have a great day and I look forward to working with you soon.
