14540 Red Hawk Lane, Poway

[svelte]

While you can’t be 100% sure by looking at the aerial pictures, there are tell-tale signs.

From my experience, the strongest indicator to the weakest are:
– Width of the roadway
– Lack of curbs
– Lack of sidewalks

Most cities have standards for all those things in newly developed areas (and it looks like the homes on that road are new). Red Hawk Lane is narrow without curbs or sidewalks.

It may be outside of the city and in the county instead, in which case I think there is more leeway and it is harder to determine public vs private.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong here.

I thought I recognized that address..Just went back through my e-mails from April 2007, we looked at a rental at 14510 Red Hawk (the one on the corner) whereas I think the one you are looking at is at the end of the street.

Reasons why we did not rent the house:

Neighborhood is a hodge-podge of homes. There are some horse farms, some custom homes and some 1960’s homes all in the same square mile. Makes for some interesting smells and lawn art if you know what I mean. Since it’s all in kind of a valley there’s not a lot of breeze to clear out the eau de poo.

There was a huge honkin’ RV parked at the end of Red Hawk when we were there, we have a rule about living with people who think the street is their personal parking lot.

There was also a lot of construction at the time. Just up the road where Twin Peaks ends right under “Tooth Rock” there were 2 or 3 custom homes going in, lots of big trucks in and out and lots of dust being kicked up.

All in all, the homes on Red Hawk were nice enough but driving out to the end of Twin Peaks like that adds a lot to the commute and it’s a really eclectic mix of residents to say the least. These homes on Red Hawk and at the end of Twin Peaks really stood out because of the older, smaller homes on the same streets. Just a very odd vibe in that neighborhood.

There are mountain lions in that neighborhood if that is a concern. If you have small children or pets, they need to be kept inside.

In general I think it is a pretty nice spot. As Doublewide said it is pretty far out there. This is one of those cases where if you like to be “out there” but not “way out there” this is not a bad spot. You do have some spottiness with old holdovers who have lived there for a very long time. Most of them have been bought out and custom homes have replaced them. I didn’t see the RV parked out there when I visited the home, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one there! As far as private roads go I would not worry about that to much. Yes the road must be maintained by the residents but there are many very nice places that have private roads.

It does get hot out there as well. Yes there is wildlife as well. You do want to keep your animals in the yard but I don’t think your kids will get eaten by mountain lions. My wife grew up near there and I haven’t heard of a Poway mountain lion attack yet. Lots of coyotes.
