Verano

Verano at Aliento is a gated 55+ community found in Santa Clarita, California, built with care and focus by Tri Pointe Homes, and you'll notice right away the modern look, comfortable design, and well-kept grounds, and the houses here are new, ranging in style from single-family homes to detached condos that range over 2,100 square feet with 3 bedrooms, including options like The Emerald in the Discovery Collection, where the space inside feels open and roomy, ceilings go up over 9 feet, and things like 15-foot sliding doors in the great room lead out to private, covered and uncovered patios, so you can enjoy sunsets across the landscaped yard, visit with others, or sit out under an optional trellis cover if shade is what you're after, while appliances like the GE Café double-oven package, beverage centers, upgraded quartz kitchen countertops, and tankless water heaters keep things up to date, and the houses often have garages for two cars, central air and heat, solar panels, and modern alarm systems. In this community, there's special care about quality, and folks get to pick from finishes like modern or traditional farmhouse touches, with layouts that can give you a big ground-floor bedroom suite and separate space for a guest upstairs, and the HOA takes care of landscape maintenance and pet rules, which helps keep the grounds tidy for everyone. The Verano clubhouse, called The Club, lets active adults stay busy, with its fitness center, meeting rooms, card tables, business room, spa, sauna, event lawn, and a resort-style pool, plus bocce courts, a fire pit, walking trails running through parks and open spaces, and even a lap pool and barbecue areas for outdoor gatherings, and those who want to store wine will find private wine lockers kept at the right temperature. There's also access to The Terrace, an all-ages clubhouse, so residents can join in larger or more varied community events, and many days, there are scheduled activities like movie nights, fitness classes, and social events, along with arts rooms, libraries, and games. The whole community aims to support independent living, but help is available if it's needed, with memory care programs and skilled nursing on-site for those with greater needs, and staff can help with things like medication, wound care, daily routines like meals and bathing, and comprehensive medical support, especially for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Short-term respite care also gives caregivers a break when needed, and the 24-hour call system means help's never far away. Meals can be taken in a restaurant-style dining room with menus that aim to suit many special diets, including diabetes and allergies, and the community provides other services like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, moving help, and even family support or concierge service. All the homes include Wi-Fi, cable TV, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and phone service, with model homes fully furnished so newcomers can see how their future home might fit their own furniture and lifestyle. Outdoors, the neighborhood has secure gated entries and guest parking, and the location puts residents close to parks, restaurants, grocery stores, open spaces like Quigley Canyon, schools like Golden Oak and Golden Valley High, hospitals for therapy and care, local fitness centers, and places like Toppers Pizza, Panera Bread, The Habit Burger, and Jersey Mike's. Residents have easy ways to get around with the transportation and parking amenities, and the whole design aims to help people connect with each other-while still giving everyone privacy when they want it-and there's plenty to do, from picnics and walks to arts, games, spa visits, or just quiet time in the library or by the pool. Homes in Verano have thoughtful features for easy living, like great rooms, open kitchens with walk-in pantries and islands, lots of light from big windows, alarm systems for safety, and energy-saving elements like solar heating and double-pane windows, and every element in these homes and the community layout supports an active, social, and safe lifestyle for those looking for a 55+ environment in the Santa Clarita area.
