Poway California The Best Place To Live

Are you looking to learn more about Poway, California? Read on to find out everything you could possibly need to know today.

Poway, best known as "The City in the Country", is beloved by its residents for the rural small-town feel. 

The lovely Poway is located in northeastern San Diego County, far enough away to feel like you're living a more rural life, yet close enough to have access to everything there is to offer in the bustling county. The town at 39.4 square miles prides itself on having more than half of the city as a designated open-space area. 

What makes Poway so desirable? Schools and open spaces are at the top of the list. Yet, there's so much more to this town. So, why do people move to find Poway real estate?

Why make the move to Poway? More than a few residents of Poway used to live in San Diego and left knowing they can get more home and more space for their money. 

Read on to learn all about this city that considers itself rural, and why you should consider life Poway for you and your family.

All About Poway History 

The earliest residents of what is now Poway were native Americans from the Kumeyaay and Luiseño tribes. They lived and thrived in the area until the 1850s, as white settlers slowly moved westward into the area. By around 1887, the town was bustling with nearly 800 residents. 

In fact, the first homesteader, named Philip Crosthwaite, came to the area and settled his 160-acre homestead in the area that holds the Creekside Plaza. His Adobe home was completed around 1855. Slowly, more families joined him to take advantage of the fertile valley farming and to build homes. By 1870, the first post office was even built. 

At one point, there were aspirations of bringing the railroad through Poway, much like it was in neighboring Carlsbad, yet that fell by the wayside. Old Poway would have held the railroad had it happened. Yet, when the plans fell apart, it was a bit of an economic hit for Poway.

The fertile farmland continued to sustain farmers who sold their crops of grapes and other fruits in San Diego. 

Now, you can learn more about Poway and its history by visiting the Poway Heritage Society which supports the Heritage Museum and the Nelson House located in Old Poway.

Poway Community Schools  

For many who have been drawn to the Poway community, the schools are at the top of their list for many reasons. The Poway Unified School District is the third-largest school district in San Diego County.

This is a large school district covering 100 geographical miles with 36,000 students. 

The entire district is responsible for running:

• 25 elementary schools
• 6 middle schools
• 5 high schools
• One adult school

Within the City of Poway, there are 12 schools. Inside the Poway city limits, there are 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, 7 elementary schools, and 1 adult school.

A majority of students who live in Poway go on to attend Poway High School. The numbers show their remarkable success.

• 82 percent of students met benchmarks for math, compared with 84 percent districtwide

Residents of northern San Diego County can also attend Palomar Community College. There are many other community colleges, colleges, and universities as options in the region outside Poway city limits. 

Poway Parks and Recreation 

Since Poway proudly boasts half of the areas as open land for its residents, there are plenty of offerings and options in parks and recreation.  

One of the most popular things to do in Poway is to spend the day at Old Poway Park. The park offers plenty of wide-open spaces for residents to go and relax, picnic, and enjoy the sunshine. If you want to work in some exercise, take advantage of one of the many hiking trails that pass through Old Poway Park too.
