[quote=NYMom]Yes, I’ve been looking, and Poway has some great inventory! Big lots, houses that all look different and reasonable prices (that sounds ridiculous at this price point, doesn’t it?!). It does seem very inland to me though, is that the case? I read someone had said 5-7 miles inland has the best weather, but I cant tell from the online maps how far that is in reality.[/quote]Poway is warm … inland Poway is even warmer. The difference in temps from Poway vs the coast during July is likely 15-25 degrees. You will need to factor in the cost of running central AC 4-5 months per year in Poway. I’m guessing but would surmise that could cost an extra $250 – $450 mo in electricity, depending on square footage of your house.
And Poway attracts the Boys with the Big Toys. They’re parked all over the place out there, albeit behind a 6′ high gate if the subdivision has an HOA.
Isn’t Poway 95% car-dependent? I don’t recall there being any small neighborhood retail villages in Poway (walkable to by local residents). Do any Piggs know?
NYMom, some of Poway is unincorporated or used to be (esp where the 1 AC lots are). As such, they will not have sidewalks or as many street lights as those areas within the city limits.
