Las Lomas is designed as a new town located north of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. This project has been claimed to be Smart Growth and New Urbanism. 

(Read the Las Lomas article referred to above here.)

Drawing a larger circle around these important urban design movements, the architectural legacy of Southern California is the inspiration for what is perceived as the ideal vision of the Mediterranean-inspired Los Angeles. The vernacular is expressed not only in the architecture but in the town planning as well. Las Lomas is to become a cherished part of the utopian heritage of what the world perceives as quintessentially LA.

From this location, where the Golden State Freeway intersects with the Antelope Valley Freeway, views are afforded to both the San Fernando Valley and to the Santa Clarita Valley. The Angeles National Forest abuts the 550-acre parcel to the east and the state park to the west. About half of the 550-acre new town is set aside for parkland – some as an extension of the national forest and others as developed urban parks, such as the mile-long, cliff-front palisades park with its spectacular views.

Las Lomas is developed by Palmer Investments, which is headed by Dan Palmer, Jr.

The architecture was designed by Richardson Robertson of Robertson Partners.

Las Lomas is made up of six distinct neighborhoods – Tower Circle, Lomas Arch, Las Lomas Avenue, Las Lomas Town Center, Academy Hill and Fountain Park.

Also the fringing area of Palisades Park is included but this is not considered a separate neighborhood by itself.
