Poway Real Estate Information

Reasons To Live In Poway

A Growing Town

Homes are built on large lots, you know – the way the homes of old used to be. You and your children will have lots of room to grow. The Old Poway Park is being used for future development ideas like softball fields, affordable housing and even an arts center.

The city planning department is even considering adding additional parking and sidewalks to the area, making the city available to everyone. In fact, the downtown area is seeing some revitalization as well. More department stores are opening and the older areas of town are seeing preservation efforts increased.

The “City in the Country”

With open spaces, lots of trees and rolling hills, Poway is separated by Tierrasanta and Scripps Ranch to the south, Rancho Bernardo to the north, Ramona and its mountains to the east, and Rancho Penaquitos to the west. Poway is considered a newer city, coming into its own in the late half of the 1900’s when it was just a stagecoach stopping point on the trail from San Diego to Julian. Its first post office opened up in 1870 and it was named after the Native Americans who lived in the area.

A Look At the Poway Real Estate Market

Poway isn’t just a small hole-in-the-wall town. In fact, there are homes worth upwards of $25 million. You may not see them listed on Poway real estate sites because their owners are happy where they live.

The median income for the city is a whopping $91,000 plus and that was in 2012. However, this little area attracts buyers who have astronomical incomes – major company CEO’s, professional athletes, etc. Poway’s luxury communities are tight-knit, but the entire city isn’t all about the rich and famous.

Things To Do

The town has over 65 miles worth of horse and hiking trails, which is mainly why many property owners have horse properties. Golfing is a huge sport in the area as well. Theater and concert productions, which are performed at the Poway Center, are huge attractions. If you love food, you must visit the local restaurants as well.
