If you want walkable paths, resort-style amenities, and quick access to shops and schools, Bridgeport at Valencia might fit your everyday routine. In this guide, you will learn how the neighborhood is laid out, what the HOA includes, the types of homes you will find, and how residents typically get around. You will also get practical tips for touring and buying in the area. Let’s dive in.
Where Bridgeport sits in Valencia
Bridgeport is a centrally located, master-planned community near the intersection of McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road. The neighborhood is organized around a large man-made lake, with a clubhouse address listed by the HOA at 27002 Edgewater Lane in Valencia. You can reach nearby destinations via McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road, which connects across the valley. The area also links by foot and bike into adjacent Valencia neighborhoods and shopping.
Lakes, paseos, and outdoor life
Living here means you can step outside to waterside paseos and shore paths that loop the lake. Community materials describe canoe and paddle-boat access along with docks and more than three miles of internal pathways. Wildlife is part of the setting, with regular sightings of ducks and other birds. You get a calm, park-like feel without leaving the neighborhood.
Valencia paseo network
Bridgeport connects into Santa Clarita’s broader trail and paseo system, which locals use daily for walking, biking, and commuting. If you like to run before work or bike to coffee, the city’s trail resources make that routine simple. You can explore the wider system through the city’s overview of its trails and paseos. These links matter if you value an active, car-light lifestyle.
Pools, clubhouse, and parks
At the center of the community is a resort-style clubhouse with a pool, spa, wading pool, BBQ areas, and rentable event space. The HOA operates and maintains the lake, clubhouse, and common-area paseos, and sets rules for boat use and facilities. You can find the latest details and contacts on the Bridgeport HOA site. For extra green space nearby, residents also use Bridgeport Park and Marketplace Park for sports, picnics, and playground time.
Everyday convenience
Bridgeport sits directly across from Bridgeport Marketplace at Newhall Ranch Road and McBean Parkway. The center includes restaurants, a produce market, and services, so you can grab dinner, run an errand, or meet a friend without a long drive. Several sources also note a pond and walkways within the center, plus a Tesla Supercharger location in the Marketplace area. You can review a tenant snapshot and property overview on LoopNet’s Bridgeport Marketplace listing.
For larger retail and entertainment, the regional mall and surrounding dining are minutes away at Valencia Town Center. Many residents pair a lake stroll with a quick mall trip or dinner nearby on weeknights and weekends.
Homes and sub-neighborhoods
Bridgeport offers a mix of townhomes, condos, and detached single-family homes organized into several sub-neighborhoods. Common names you will hear include Cabot Bay, The Landing, Stoney Pointe, The Cove, Spinnaker Pointe, Waterford, Back Bay, The Colony, and The Island. Some enclaves are gated, while others are open with easy paseo access. Layouts vary by tract, so touring a few sections will help you match floor plans to your needs.
What you will find inside
Many townhomes are tri-level with two to three bedrooms, attached garages, and balconies or small patios. Condos often deliver efficient, low-maintenance living near the paths and pool. Detached homes tend to be two-story with more interior space and private yards. Properties that front the water or have direct lake views often command a premium in resale.
Age and sizes
Most of Bridgeport was built in the early 2000s, with many homes completed between 2000 and 2003. Floor plans generally start just over 1,000 square feet for smaller condos and can reach well above 3,000 square feet for larger detached homes. As you compare options, pay attention to parking configurations, private outdoor space, and proximity to the clubhouse or lake. Those variables drive both lifestyle and value.
HOA basics and costs
Bridgeport is governed by a community association that manages the lake, clubhouse, pools, and common-area paseos. Expect CC&Rs, rules for clubhouse rentals, and guidelines for paddle-boat or canoe use. Monthly assessments vary by sub-neighborhood and property type. You can confirm current rules and contacts on the HOA website.
Many local references suggest Bridgeport itself does not have a Mello-Roos special tax, but that can vary by parcel and by year. Always verify taxes, HOA dues, and any special assessments on the county roll and in the seller disclosures for the exact address you are considering. If you are budgeting, include HOA dues alongside principal, interest, taxes, and insurance to get a clear monthly total.
Schools and getting around
Nearby schools
Bridgeport Elementary, part of Saugus Union School District, sits inside or adjacent to the neighborhood at 23670 Newhall Ranch Road. Many families value the ability to walk or bike to school along the paseos. Typical feeder patterns for older students route to Rio Norte Junior High and Valencia High in the William S. Hart Union High School District, though boundaries can change. For current programs and contact details, visit the Bridgeport Elementary site, and confirm attendance zones through the Saugus Union School District.
Commutes and transit
You will likely use McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road for most local trips. For regional commuting, Santa Clarita Transit operates local and commuter routes, with buses centered on the McBean Regional Transit Center. Rail riders use Metrolink stations in the Santa Clarita Valley on the Antelope Valley Line. You can learn more about the bus hub through the McBean Regional Transit Center overview.
Who loves living here
If you enjoy a walkable routine with water views and neighborhood amenities, Bridgeport aligns well. Residents often start the day with a loop around the lake, bike to nearby shops, and wind down at the pool. The presence of an elementary school within the community supports a simple drop-off routine. The lakeside setting also appeals to anyone who values nature views and low-key outdoor time.
What homes cost
Bridgeport includes both attached and detached homes, so prices span a wide range. Snapshot numbers vary depending on whether you look at median list price or median sold price, the time window, and the exact boundaries used. Because the neighborhood is relatively small, a handful of sales can move medians month to month, and lakefront locations often sell at a premium. If you want precise figures, ask for a custom report that filters by product type, size, view, and the most recent closed sales.
