A Safe Haven For Families 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Castaic is a small town located just outside of Los Angeles, California. I love Castaic because it is a humble town that is different from any other town I have been to. Having lived in Castaic, I can say that it has enough going on to keep its residents attached to the area. Cas ...Read More taic is known for its great schools, both public and private. It is a safe and calm area. Therefore, it is a gem for a lot of families with children. It's the perfect home for families raising children.

For the time I have lived in Castaic, I really enjoyed the town. It is a beautiful place to live. The homes are gorgeous with perfect landscapes. The homes are picture perfect with enough land. The population consists of mainly households with married families. It consists of a large population of Caucasian and traces of other racial diversity. Castaic offers a lot of convenience to the residents of town. It has enough businesses to meet the needs of the locals. Outdoor activities are easily accessible to the community. Lots of beautiful sceneries. Castaic lake is a well known location for those who enjoy water activities. There are many surrounding cities that are easy to commute to for those who want to enjoy a less quiet night life. Overall Castaic is a great place to call home. Read Less
