Valencia is located in the Northwest corner of the Santa Clarita Valley adjacent to interstate 5. Valencia is a planned community with lots of well-landscaped boulevards connecting many different residential villages. Each of these villages are close to shopping and schools. Valencia also has a system of paved pathways called paseos. These pathways make it easy to travel around Valencia while walking or riding a bike. This is one of my favorite things about where I live, I am very close to a great system of paseos that I can go walking on and not have to worry about being around traffic, they are very clean and the landscaping is kept up nicely.Valencia was first planned by the Newhall Land and Farming Company in the 1960's and is still developing. The total population is 26, 154 with a density of 5,009 persons per square mile. The female population is 13,222 and the male is 12,933. The median age is 33-34 years old the average family size is 3.7. All in all is sounds like a great place to live.
