Santa Clarita, the city that the community of Valencia is part of, borders Los Angeles. It is definitely a safe area and has made the list of being one of the best places to live in the country, according to Money Magazine. It borders Los Angeles so technically it is 0 miles from the city proper, but from downtown Los Angeles it is about 30-40 miles.

Yes it's safe, from Los Angeles it's about an hour. Longer than that in traffic.

Google Earth shows the distance from Valencia to LA as being about 38 miles. I have no idea about its safety.

pretty close to LA. it's safe.there still crime like every other city but its not like your going to get mugged,shot,raped,kidnapped or anything.
