The Valencia Marketplace and Stevenson Ranch Shopping Center are popular shopping areas in the community. The elementary, junior high, and high school are award-winning schools.

The names of many streets located in Stevenson Ranch are those of famous authors. However, the street known as “Thackery Lane” is actually an as of yet uncorrected misspelling that refers to the 19th century English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray.
