If you've spent any real time in Valencia, you already know Valencia Town Center. It's the roughly one-million-square-foot hub on about 60 acres in the heart of Valencia, right here in Santa Clarita, where people run errands, grab dinner, and spend a Saturday afternoon almost without thinking about it. Michelle and Jon Dubner walk this same center all the time, whether it's a quick stop or a longer afternoon out. If you're new to Valencia, or thinking about a move here, here's what this place actually is, what recently changed about its name, and why it's a real part of everyday life in this community.
Key Takeaways

What Is Valencia Town Center?
Valencia Town Center is the large open-air shopping and dining center in the middle of Valencia, one of the communities that makes up Santa Clarita. At roughly one million square feet spread across about 60 acres, it's genuinely one of the biggest gathering points in the area. It isn't a strip mall you drive past. It's a place people walk through, meet at, and return to on a normal week, which is exactly why it's worth understanding as part of daily life here rather than just a shopping trip.
Why Isn't It Called Westfield Anymore?
If you've lived in Valencia for a while, you probably still call it "Westfield." That name is on its way out. The center was long known as Westfield Valencia Town Center, but Dallas-based Centennial acquired it from Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, and the Westfield name has been dropped. It's now known simply as Valencia Town Center. It's a small detail, but it's the kind of current, on-the-ground change that's easy to miss if you're not paying attention to what's actually happening in this community day to day. Michelle and Jon Dubner make a point of tracking these kinds of shifts, not just home prices, because they shape how people talk about and experience Valencia.
What Shopping and Dining Options Does It Have?
Valencia Town Center is anchored by Macy's, JCPenney, and H&M, with more than 100 retail tenants in total. Alongside the anchors, you'll find an Apple Store, Pottery Barn, Sephora, Gold's Gym, Lululemon, and White House Black Market, plus a wide mix of smaller shops in between. On the food side, there are 38 food and beverage establishments, enough that lunch, dinner, or a quick coffee run rarely means driving somewhere else. That combination of retail depth and dining variety is a big part of why this one center covers so much of what people in Valencia actually need in a normal week.
Who Actually Uses Valencia Town Center During the Week?
It isn't only weekend shoppers. Santa Clarita has a real base of biomedical, aerospace, and film production companies nearby, and a good share of those workers use Valencia Town Center's 38 food and beverage spots on weekdays, not just weekends. That mix, shoppers on a Saturday and working professionals on a Tuesday afternoon, is part of what keeps the center genuinely active most days rather than only busy during peak retail hours. It's a small thing, but it's one more sign of how woven into everyday Valencia life this place really is.
How Does It Fit Into Everyday Life in Valencia?
For a lot of Valencia households, Valencia Town Center isn't a special occasion, it's a normal stop. It's where a family picks up school clothes, where a group of friends grabs dinner before a movie, where someone runs into a neighbor while browsing storefronts. That everyday familiarity is part of what makes Valencia feel like a real community and not just a collection of neighborhoods. When people ask Michelle and Jon Dubner what daily life is actually like in Valencia, this is one of the first places that comes up, not because it's flashy, but because it's genuinely used.
How Does Valencia's Retail Access Compare to the Rest of Santa Clarita and Los Angeles?
Valencia sits inside Santa Clarita, and Santa Clarita sits within easy reach of the greater Los Angeles area. That matters for retail access. A lot of Santa Clarita's other communities drive into Valencia for the depth of shopping and dining that Valencia Town Center offers, rather than needing to head further south into Los Angeles itself. For someone relocating from elsewhere in LA or from out of state, that's a meaningful point: Valencia offers real, substantial retail and dining access without requiring a long commute into the city for it.
Why Does This Matter If You're Buying or Selling a Home in Valencia?
Proximity to Valencia Town Center is a genuine, practical selling point for homes throughout Valencia, not just a nice-to-have. Buyers relocating into Santa Clarita often ask what's actually nearby day to day, not just what the school district looks like. Being able to point to a real, well-stocked shopping and dining center with more than 100 stores and 38 places to eat, all within Valencia itself, answers that question clearly. If you're weighing a move into Valencia or getting ready to sell a home here, this is exactly the kind of local detail Michelle and Jon Dubner build into a listing story or a buyer conversation.
