There was Sun Village east of Palmdale, which inspired Frank Zappa to write a song called "Village of the Sun":

Goin' back home
To the Village of the Sun
Out in back of Palmdale
Where the turkey farmers run, I don
Made up my mind
And I know I'm gonna go to Sun
Village, good God I hope the
Wind don't blow

It take the paint off your car
And wreck your windshield too,
I don't know how the people stand it,
But I guess they do
Cause they're all still there,
Even Johnny Franklin too
In the Village of the Sun
Village of the Sun
Village of the Sun, son
(Sun Village to you)

Little Mary, and Teddy, and Thelma too
Where Palmdale Bouldevard
Cuts on through
Past the Village Inn & Barbecue
(I heard it ain't there...
Well I hope it ain't true)
Where the stumblers gonna go
To watch the lights turn blue
Where the stumblers gonna go
To watch the lights turn
blue-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-wahhh?

As I recall:

When I worked in Lancaster in the early 80's, Sun Village struck me as a black community. However, builders bought up loads of cheap lots and built loads of extremely shoddy but cheap houses for people who couldn't afford to buy in the San Fernando Valley close to work and were willing to fight their way down the 14 and back every day.

They were mostly whites who moved into Sun Village, and the blacks from Sun Village moved out to North Lancaster.

Black flight. Go figure.
