Antelope Acres is located in the Antelope Valley, the high desert area of northern Los Angeles County, approximately 13 miles (21 kilometers) from downtown Lancaster and 64 mi (103 km) from downtown Los Angeles. The community has a population of about 2,800. It is a rural community centered south of California State Highway 138 (Avenue D) near 90th Street West.

The community has become the home to many commuters who work in nearby cities; however, it still maintains a significant agricultural presence with livestock, field crops, and a local chapter of the 4H club. It also offers an open landscape for outdoor enthusiasts.

Services

Being a rural community, municipal services are minimal with many emergency services coming from nearby Lancaster. The community supports a small grocery store (with an 8 pump gas station), a church, a feed/hardware store, a local internet provider, a volunteer fire station, and a Mexican style food restaurant.

Geography

Antelope Acres is located about 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Lancaster and roughly 64 miles (103 km) from downtown Los Angeles. The topography is essentially flat desert scrubland. The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve lies to the west of Antelope Acres.

gollark: They could turn into one, though, just with lower probability.
gollark: Why? Lower probability of eventually becoming a full person? The individual parts still have a nonzero one.
gollark: What's the exact threshold for probability you would use?
gollark: Why, though? Why require it for a fetus, which will with some fairly high probability be born and then with some also fairly high (with modern medicine) probability go on to grow up and whatever, but not something with a lower chance of becoming a person?
