Great place to live
October 8, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
Firstly, when looking for apartments in Santa Clarita I kept seeing people online talk about how Canyon Country was the "bad part of town" -- if you see this, do yourself a favor and ignore it. There is no bad part of SC, it's objectively one of the safest cities in the country. Maybe there's a need for people to flex about how hard they have it, idk.
With that being said like anywhere there are pros and cons.
Pros:
- Quiet, peaceful, picturesque, well-maintained.
- Friendly neighbors. Didn't ...
think twice about leaving my door unlocked if I went out for a walk or something.
- Good location. Close to freeway, <5 mins from Target, multiple groceries etc.
- Great staff, esp. maintenance. Only had a couple of minor issues but they responded fast and fixed them first time.
- Clean, modern units. When I moved in appliances still had some plastic wrap on them.
Cons:
- Parking. Garages are tiny, if you have one. As in can barely open your car door. Most people park on the curb. Hard to find parking depending on ToD.
- "Gym" is a joke. Missing weights, tiny, no A/C last time I was there. Don't think it's been updated since 1995.
- Forced to pay rent via 3rd part company that harvests your personal data, no way to opt out.
- Annual rent increase without explanation.
Overall I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. Just get a gym membership, accept that parking stress is part of apartment living, and that there's nothing you can do about how rent is paid. The property is owned by a large company that I assume sets the rent and mandates the use of the 3rd party company. It seems like the team that actually manages this property really cares and does a great job.
