I am familiar with Penasquitos area, and found it to be centrally located for most commutes. After some active property search over the past year, I am wondering if I should expand the search regions. Poway looks like a viable option, but I am not very familiar with what areas to look into or to avoid.
The price range is ideally sub 500, and perhaps slightly more for that unique house with a grand view or that cul-de-sac place with green vista’s (and now I am not talking about the golfing green 🙂 )
esmith – thanks for the Twin Peaks suggestion. I will look at the map and include in my search.
MANmom – I did not consider Sabre Springs because of the HOA and MR fees, however I did not realise the fees were low.
SD Realtor – A good school district is a definite criteria. PUSD seems to fit the bill. I focused on PQ since I could find more properties without any HOA and MR, along with quick freeway access. Here are some of the other desired features: 4+ bed, 2.5+ bath, no pool/HOA/MR, a 15 yr fixed PI rate roughly equivalent to the market rental rates. I believe the last criteria puts my price range around 500K.
