Quiet "City in the Country" - 11/30/2009
Poway is halfway between everything in San Diego County. If you've got a car, this is a great place to live. It is a city of families with commuting parents. Politics are decidedly conservative and religion predominantly Christian. Great for quiet streets with no night life.
People get involved in the community through Church or school for the most part.[read more...] |

Great schools! - 9/28/2008
We have lived here since 1977 and both our children attended the Poway Unified School system. They had a great experience and the system continues to improve every year. Many people from all walks of life have moved here because of the education for their children.[read more...] |

Climate - 8/18/2008
I love the climate here, always sunny. It can get a bit hot in August 95-100% but is perfection in my book.[read more...] |

It's nice but too costly - 5/9/2006
My fiance and I are in our 30's and rent in the Sabre Springs area of Poway near Carmel Mountain and Rancho Bernardo off I-15, specifically. While it's a nice suberb, quiet, pretty safe and near a little river, the going rent here for a nice 2 bedroom is $1600, no garage but parking is always available, and utilities are not included. A positive about San Diego in general is that move-in costs are very low.. the deposit is often around the $2-400 range on approved credit (vs. 1st and last month rent/deposit in Los Angeles which can run a person $3000+ easily).
For those who aren't aware, the San Diego area is the most expensive in perhaps the entire US continent when it comes to gasoline.
Together, we make over $100K per year and not too much in bills, but live very much check to check as the cost of living here is disproportionately high. Unless you bought into the market or acquired a rent-controlled apt years ago (if they have that here anywhere), then it's unreasonable. A college degree with experience doesn't make any difference as quite a few people still have 2nd jobs or some other form of extra income.[read more...] |
