environment is as important as your work environment, which
is the primary reason HR Textron was the first major employer
to move to The Santa Clarita Valley in the late 1960s. Putting
people first always has been the HR Textron way.
As one of the first master-planned areas
in California, The Santa Clarita Valley set the standard for
such developments. Site selection was, of course, paramount.
A landscape of rugged natural beauty surrounded by the Santa
Susanna and San Gabriel mountain ranges, The Santa Clarita
Valley has it all.
The high quality of life includes schools
ranked consistently in the top 10% in California, FBI designation
as the safest city of itÕs size in Los Angeles County,
one of the Top Ten Most Business Friendly cities in California,
and lowest unemployment rate in Los Angeles County for cities
over 100,000 population.
Located 35 miles north of downtown Los Angeles
on Interstate 5 (the Golden State Freeway), the Santa Clarita
Valley covers 200 square miles with a population of 226,346
(last census). The picturesque and historic valley enjoys
a Mediterranean (marine-influenced) climate with warm dry
summers (average 75¡ to 100¡F) and temperate winters
with occasional rain (average 40¡ to 65¡F; 15Ó
to 18Ó rain).
The Santa Clarita Valley is located within
the Òsixty-mile circleÓ, which means it has
easy access to Southern CaliforniaÕs major attractions
including airports and beaches. The Santa Clarita Valley is
also freeway close to the agricultural Central Valley, high-desert
Antelope Valley, and emerging wine country of coastal Ventura
and Santa Barbara Counties.
Whether bicycling or hiking the unique
Paseos intertwining the neighborhoods, screaming on a thrill
ride at coaster-famous Six Flags Magic Mountain, being overwhelmed
by the colors of local sunsets, or simply breathing clean
crisp air, you will enjoy coming home to The Santa Clarita
Valley.
