asianautica, my house was on 5.3 acres, on the outskirts of Poway, where land is so cheap because nobody really wants to drive that far or live in the boonies. That made the price much lower than any lot in Poway. In Poway, a 5000 sq fot lot costs more than my 5 acres. 1 acre in Poway costs probably $1 mil, but someone with MLS access could verify.
A lot of Poway is low income, and that drags down the median. But I wonder why people keep wanting to move here for the schools. Poway has the reputation of the good schools, deserved or not, and I thought it affects the prices. But it doesn’t?
So Poway homes are priced the same as Mira Mesa houses?
