Why people buy in Palmdale
Palmdale is the largest city in the Antelope Valley and the aerospace capital of the region. Air Force Plant 42 (Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, Northrop Grumman and the B-21 program, Boeing) is inside city limits, and Edwards AFB, Mojave Air and Space Port and the Palmdale Regional Medical Center anchor the job base. Commuters take the 14 to Santa Clarita, Burbank and LA, or the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line from the Palmdale Transportation Center. The California High-Speed Rail Palmdale station and the High Desert Corridor are both planned to land here, which is a big part of the long-term investment case.
Prices are a fraction of the San Fernando Valley or Santa Clarita for a newer, bigger house, which is why so many of our buyers are LA families moving up the 14. Summers are hot and dry, winters are cool with the occasional snow day, and the city sits at about 2,600 feet.
