Poway Real Estate

Poway is an excellent place to raise a family. With the lowest crime rate in the county and a superb public school system, children can grow up safe. And with many of Poway's homes still being constructed on large lots—the way homes used to be—kids have plenty of room to play in their own backyard. A brand-new public library recently opened, and the Poway Center for the Performing Arts gives Poway cultural capital.

More is on its way for the area. The Old Poway Park area is being discussed as a site for future development. Ideas so far include softball fields, an arts center and affordable housing. The city also plans on adding more sidewalks and parking to the development, making it accessible to all. Downtown is being revitalized as well. Not only are more department stores opening, drawing in shoppers from outside town, but the older areas of town are preserving their feel while being redesigned. Hotels and conference spaces are also being added. The area, in fact, is rated number 6 in California for business growth.

But while the city is being developed, Poway retains much of its open space. Several areas are still zoned for horses, in fact. The local Blue Sky Ecological Reserve and Lake Poway also help the city maintain its rural feel. Neighbors meet weekly at the Old Poway Park for craft shows and farmer's markets. And Lake Poway has great fishing and picnic areas, popular with residents. With clean air and water unparalleled virtually anywhere else in Southern California, Poway is a dream come true for an outdoor family.
Public schools are run by the respected Poway Unified School District; there are also community colleges in the area.

The average single-family or condo home in Poway sold in February 2006 for $952,606. Many of the homes for sale are almost brand-new, so you won't need to make any further investment in the Poway real estate you purchase for quite some time.
