Participant[quote=Jazzman]This is a pretty tasteless home. If I had the money, I’d be looking in Ranch Santa Fe. It’s where money and savoir faire are in more close proximity.[/quote]
If you’re looking with the OP’s parameters of under $1M, you might be looking for a very long time.
To each his own.

I recently moved into Poway and my kids (not yet in elementary school) will eventually be going to the same middle and high schools as that neighborhood. Do you mind sharing what you didn’t like?[/quote]
As I said, my kids’ experience in elementary school was fine. One was at Painted Rock, the other at Chapparal. (Keep in mind this was 14 to 19 years ago, things may have changed.) But both kids had problems at Twin Peaks. Kids were cliquey, bigoted and intolerant. My son was downright strange (still is, for that matter) wasn’t into sports, and got picked on relentlessly. Complaints were ignored, which pissed me off to no end. My daughter was into sports, but also into working as hard as she could in class. So she also felt that she didn’t fit in. (apparently cool kids don’t get A’s) Son did one year at Poway High and hated it, so we moved. I was really skeptical that the switch to Torrey Pines would make much difference, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. A group for everyone and everyone fits in, even the weirdest kid. He was just a slightly above average student in Poway, but excelled at TP. We moved 10 years ago, I’ve heard recently from friends that still have kids there that things haven’t changed much.

ParticipantTrue on the weather. Just took a quick look and the prices in the newer developments are all $1M plus. Green Valley is lower for smaller older homes. Except way up Martincoit, up to Orchard Gate. Bigger homes, also $1M plus. To stay under $1M, you might try one of the other Bridlewood developments. Probably right around 20 years old now.
In looking thru the poway listings, i came across this one:
http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-110027485-13302_Bronco_Way_Poway_CA_92064
Just a block away from where I lived. I loved that neighborhood. Good elementary school. I have nothing positive to say about the middle school or high school, which is why I moved.
When I lived there, I never ran into an agent I trusted. I’m sure there are some good ones. I just don’t know who they are.

Participant[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.
