Valencia home and condo appraisals for estates, trusts, and taxes
Master-planned villages of tract homes and townhomes linked by paseos
Valencia is the master-planned core of the City of Santa Clarita, laid out from the 1960s by the Newhall Land and Farming Company, with McBean Parkway as its main north–south road and the Valencia Town Center at its center. Executors here often need values for homes bought new from the original builder, townhomes in large associations, and properties whose special taxes affect what buyers will pay.

Homes in Valencia
The first subdivision, the original Old Orchard tract near Lyons Avenue, opened in 1967, followed by Valencia Hills and a long series of villages built over the next decades. Villages cluster around schools and parks and are linked by paseos that cross major streets on bridges and underpasses. Detached tract homes, townhomes, and condominiums sit side by side, many under their own associations.
What moves value in Valencia
Buyers come for the paseos, parks, and access to Interstate 5 and the valley's employment centers. Village, school assignment, association amenities, and construction age largely set relative value, and newer villages west of the freeway compete with the established tracts.

Appraisal considerations in Valencia
Valencia east of Interstate 5 is largely within the City of Santa Clarita, while areas west of the freeway that carry the Valencia name, including FivePoint Valencia, are unincorporated, so we confirm jurisdiction and taxing districts. Many villages layer a master association over a sub-association plus Mello-Roos or other special taxes, and we document each charge.
Is a Valencia townhome compared only with sales in its own association?
We start there, because same-association sales share dues, amenities, and floor plans. When too few have sold, we widen to nearby associations of similar age and amenities and adjust for differences in dues, location, and condition.
