Welcome to

Five Knolls

Five Knolls is a newer master-planned neighborhood in the Saugus area of Santa Clarita, positioned along the Golden Valley Road corridor and surrounded by the rolling terrain that gives the community its name. Development began in the mid-2010s, creating a collection of modern neighborhoods with contemporary floor plans, landscaped streets and a strong connection to outdoor recreation.

Rather than a single tract of nearly identical homes, Five Knolls is made up of seven distinct residential neighborhoods. Buyers can find gated and non-gated settings, homes with a variety of sizes and layouts, and Galloway, a separate gated 55+ neighborhood designed for active-adult living.

One of the community's defining features is the balance between private neighborhood amenities and nearby public recreation. Residents have access to The Club at Five Knolls, while Golden Valley Park sits at the base of the community and Santa Clarita's broader trail network extends beyond it.

PUBLIC RECREATION AT THE COMMUNITY'S EDGE

Golden Valley Park

Golden Valley Park is a City of Santa Clarita public park located at 27227 Five Knolls Drive. Its location at the base of the neighborhood puts a substantial outdoor recreation space immediately beside the community rather than several miles away.

The city lists a half basketball court, barbecue areas, a children's play area, dog park, picnic tables and public restrooms among the park's amenities. The surrounding area also provides access to walking routes and the broader network of trails and paseos that are a major part of Santa Clarita life.
