[quote=wanttobuy]Anyone knows anything about these communities? Someone familiar with Poway?[/quote]
Green Valley is partly tract, partly custom homes. all will have mature landscape. Most were built in the late ’60’s to late ’70’s but some earlier. But don’t let that scare you away, many have been remodeled. Mostly 1/4 to 1 acre lots. Wide variety, but not many very large homes. Most are from about 2,400 to 3,500 sq ft. A few with granny flats. Very nice area, I lived there for almost 10 years.
Bridelwood Estates (where the home you linked to is located) was built in the early to mid ’90’s. I’m guessing most of the lots are 1/2 to 1 acre. Mostly pretty nice homes. (There are 3 Bridlewood developments. This is the only one with custom homes. The other 2 were larger tract homes. It also has a private entrance, which at one time was gated, not sure if it still is.)
Lake Poway Estates is newer. All custom homes. It’s west of the Bridlewood Estates home you linked to. (West of Espola Road.) Mostly built in the ’90’s. Pretty wide choice, some larger lots, some homes well over 5,000 sq ft. (may even be up to 10,000 sq ft, not sure.)
Lomas Verdes Estates – North of Espola Road, started getting built out in late ’90’s. Pretty big lots (1 acre +). Wider upper end selection. Some wild architecture.
If you’re interested in going into Ranch Bernardo, there are some beautiful older homes in the Trails that would probably meet your needs.
