Acton Real Estate

The rural community of Acton is located near California's Antelope Valley between Palmdale and Santa Clarita—a hidden gem tucked away in the hillsides near State Route 14. The community features mansions and sprawling equestrian ranches as well a historic downtown area and a film-worthy, western ambiance. The Acton lifestyle is tranquil and scenic. Crime is virtually nonexistent, and residents are constantly rejuvenated by the crisp mountain air and gorgeous views of the valley below. Maybe this is why Acton residents are characteristically friendly and community-oriented. Things to do include participating in community festivals and events, hiking, exploring wildlife and natural areas, camping, picnicking, horseback riding and more. Youth and interest groups such as 4H are prevalent as well. Acton is home to two significant landmarks, Parker Mountain and Shambala Preserve. Parker Mountain is popular with those who fly radio-controlled aircraft and Shambala Preserve is an 80-acre wild animal park owned by actress Tippi Hedren. Public education in Acton is under the management of Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District. Meadowlark Elementary, Agua Dulce Elementary, High Desert School and Vasquez High School serve the needs of local students. Interested buyers will find that Acton's real estate market consists of an affordable selection of detached single-family homes, expansive homes featuring amazing views of the surrounding mountains, and horse properties.
