If you're looking for the near-perfect place to live, you would be hard pressed to find anything better than Poway, CA. Poway is located just 25 miles from downtown San Diego off the Interstate 15 corridor. Of course, San Diego is known for its ideal climate and Poway is just inland enough to be even better. You see, San Diego and La Jolla get all the great press because they are located on the water. But what most people are not aware of is that the coastal communities are often clouded over much of the year with the marine layer which is cool, damp and sunless. Poway, by contrast, is just far enough inland that it rarely has marine layer which yields many more warm and sunny days.

The topography of Poway is green and hilly, falling just short of the Laguna Mountains. Many homes have spectacular views and, because Poway sits outside of the City of San Diego, the homes have larger lots. In fact, many homes in Poway offer upscale amenities such as horse properties and tennis court homes in addition to swimming pools. Many of these homes lie inside gated communities. Also, Poway is a newer community so many of the homes offer current floor plans.

Poway is considered a very family friendly community. Its schools have an excellent reputation for being among the best in the nation. Many parents who are concerned that their children get the best education intentionally move into the Poway Unified School District. The school district actually encompasses more area than just Poway. Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs and Rancho Penasquitos are also a part to the Poway Unified School District. Each of these areas is also an excellent place to live and each area has its own character and particular lifestyle. For example, Rancho Bernardo was built as a master planned community and boasts seven private community centers which include tennis courts, community pool, workout facilities, kitchen facilities, kiddie parks and indoor multipurpose rooms for ping-pong and other games. Rancho Bernardo is also one of the few areas in San Diego County which offers communities specifically for Active Adults.

An advantage of 4S Ranch, unlike the other communities which have few condo, 4S Ranch has many condos for that active and busy young professional.

Regardless of which lifestyle appeals to you, you owe it to yourself and your family to consider Poway and the other fine communities within the Poway Unified School District as the place establish your new luxurious lifestyle.
