My husband & I have live in this community for 16 years. Grounds are well kept and HOA is well run. Scenic Hills offers a real sense of community for many. I read all of the 1 star comments. Unfortunately when people move in they expect the rules not apply to them or wish to change them. One problem is that buyers often don't look at rules until after they move in . The rules are there for a reason. Scenic Hills is not for everyone, but I call it home. read more

Can I please give a (-5) review? I have had the most awful experience with the Scenic Hills HOA ("SH HOA")there in Santa Clarita, CA. As of this point in time, we have sold our house and moved, returned our gate keys as required (placed them in their designated box), and moved on awaiting our deposit for those gate keys returned. I was very courteous and her very RUDE! I have been told by the "new" Office Manager of SH HOA that they never received them and therefore refuse to refund our deposit. I asked them to review the entire days surveillance video and it will show us dropping them off to them in their required box. I advised them that if they did not get them then they have a security issue because we did, in fact, return them. They refuse to check out the entire days video as proof and refuse to give us back our deposit. I have gone back and forth with them for weeks now only to be disgusted with her and their practices at SH HOA. I keep calling and emailing and only now they look to have blocked my email address and do not return my calls. This is pretty pathetic and a most disgusting way to run the SH HOA. UPDATE: So, the Office Manager admitted to there being a security issue at Scenic Hills, Newhall, California to a friend and that it was a very good possibility that our remotes were, in fact, stolen out of the box. She still never reviewed that days footage. That being said, since they do not have the remotes (even though she believes they were stolen and believes us) we still cannot get our deposit back. What a disgusting way to run a business and treat people. She told that to a friend and never to me, Not once!-- read more

I never thought I would be a victim of microaggression and bias in my own community, the way the rules apply for some people in this community and for others don't is just prejudiced. We are living in 2024 and still to this day the color of your skin and your race matters. Some folks get away with breaking the rules, and when pointed out the answer from our HOA is '' That happened during covid'' I guess if you broke any HOA rules during covid, you are grandfathered. Congratulations!! It is very hard to shake off discrimination on negative experiences just like the one I had with our HOA board members. I planted 3 small flowers right in front of my unit's door, and the next day I received an email from the office letting me know I had 10 days to remove them or else. I have witnessed many neighbors that have done the same, and till this day their flowers remain on the same spot where they planted them, no one came to tell them to remove them or else. I even asked the HOA board members if I could fill a request form to keep my flowers and be granted permission, their answer was '' You can try, but most likely it would be deny'' There is proof that multiple Scenic Hills neighbors are out of compliance in regards to landscaping rules, and yet the board of members has not done anything to enforce these compliance rules. California courts have made the law very abundantly clear on ''Selective Enforcement '' It is illegal in California for board members to give preferential treatment or ignore violations of certain homeowners. Please be aware, specially if you belong to a minority group read more

Absolutely terrible HOA. They don't stand for the homeowners at all. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to live here. They tow visitor cars, hell they even tow your own car if you park incorrectly. They don't reply to emails, nor do they return calls. read more

This is the worse association I have seen in a long time. My mother has lived in here since they were new. I have had to hear the stories over the years about this horrible, high-priced association that could care less about the seniors in this community. At one time a president resided that didn't even live in SH. Then it seemed like after she came in, all new contracts were formed with all new service providers. At one time there was a guard shack out front. Now they pay $360 monthly (the highest rate in Santa Clarita) and there is just a gate. Then my mother's WOOD fence (old) rotted and they made HER pay to replace it even though the common area grass watering caused the issues. A year later, they tore out the rotted wood fences and put all new vinyl which they should have done YEARS earlier anyway. This month she was doing construction indoors after the hallway flooded, she had to park in her driveway. The association rules permit extended parking with a permit for 30 days. My mother exceeded it by one day so they towed her sister's car when they were visiting me. I called their "office manager" Stephanie at (661) 251-4239 to ask about the issue. She was rude and could care less. "The rules are the rules" she said. I asked her if the process could be changed to a more caring model where Copper Eagle would maybe knock on the door first in case the resident is dead on their kitchen floor? "No, they cannot do that...." and gave me a list of reasons why it was impossible to consider safety and community over "RULES." Many people living in this community are elderly and alone but they do not give a shit. If you are considering moving here I highly recommend reading the CC&Rs closely and getting involved with the HOA and making changes FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY and not just letting a few bullies run the place as they have for 30 years. This is just ONE issue that my mom has run into in 32 years. read more

I have lived in here for over 30 years. I don't always agree with some of the rules, however, they are stated very clearly what they are and the consequences. I was a former board member and I know many how owners (including me) do not like the rule about being unable to park in ones driveway. This is controlled by the Association's CCRs. We tried to change this rule but it takes 2/3 votes from the residents and out of the 320 residents we were lucky to even get 200 to reply and the majority of those didn't want the parking rule change. Whenever someone new comes to visit, they love how the landscape is maintained and how pretty it is. read more

I have no idea how they can do business when they rarely if ever respond to their homeowners. Horribly run at this point. When Nicole was in the office at least there were reponses to emails. read more

I agree completely with above review. no return calls emails notes mail nothing and signs that state 'indefinitely' closed and such what is that?!?! 1 day 2 months,3 years come on people. Or just a sign pool closed and no reason stated then ok pool open and will be heated on such and such date and it was closed a long time what are HOA dues paying for it sure ain't service or amenities. read more
