The Development

About Aidlin Hills
Stevenson Ranch

Aidlin Hills Stevenson Ranch — now officially rebranded as Hillcrest by Lennar — is one of the most anticipated new residential developments in the Santa Clarita Valley. Located in the scenic hills west of Pico Canyon Road, just beyond the established Southern Oaks neighborhood, this community represents the next chapter of Stevenson Ranch's storied history.

Approved under Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 52796, the project will deliver approximately 102 single-family homes ranging from 3,767 to 4,671 square feet. Early site work began in 2025 and by 2026, individual home sites and early road paving were clearly visible, with model homes expected to break ground shortly after.

One of the development's most compelling features is its commitment to nature. Lennar has proposed dedicating a large portion of the site as permanently preserved open space, ensuring future homeowners enjoy unspoiled hillside views for generations to come.

The Neighborhood

Welcome to
Stevenson Ranch

Stevenson Ranch is a well-established, master-planned community built primarily from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s. Located just west of Interstate 5 in unincorporated Los Angeles County, it sits squarely within the Santa Clarita Valley and is widely considered one of the area's most desirable places to live.

As you enter via Stevenson Ranch Parkway, the iconic waterfall monument sets the tone — a landmark that's been welcoming residents and guests for decades. Tree-lined streets, mountain views, and carefully maintained landscaping give the area a clean, welcoming feel. It's the kind of community where people settle in and stay — many original homeowners from the 1980s and '90s remain in their homes today.

With a population of just under 21,000 residents, the community covers less than 7 square miles yet includes roughly 1,000 acres of open space, parks, and recreation. The median household income is approximately $146,000, and the community skews towards families with school-aged children.

Aidlin Hills Stevenson Ranch joins a roster of 46+ established subdivisions, adding the first new luxury single-family homes to the community in over a decade.
