I live next to the Community Park. Mainly, this area is the lower priced part of Poway, and the schools have the lowest test scores in our district. But the area is well maintained by the City, so the landscaping is very nice. The park at Midland is quiet and beautiful.

Last weekend, the Poway Days Parade drews many people, and it concluded with a 15 min. fireworks show that I watched from my backyard. I was amazed: the September Poway fireworks were 10x better than the 4th of July display at SeaWorld this year. Poway’s budget is in the black, and it shows. Next weekend is the Poway Rodeo.

If you live near Midland, you will find a quiet safe area, near trails and shopping, bike lanes, community events, etc. My sons and I ride our bikes up Midland Rd to his school (he doesn’t attend the school we are zoned for, right across the street; it has the lowest test scores in Poway).
