Living in Poway: The City in the Country

Poway calls itself "The City in the Country," and it lives up to the name. Larger lots, horse trails and mountain views sit minutes from shopping, top schools and the 15 freeway.

What makes Poway special

Old Poway Park brings back the town's early days with a historic train ride, a weekend farmers market and community events. The Poway Center for the Performing Arts hosts concerts and shows. Many neighborhoods connect to an extensive network of equestrian and hiking trails.

Outdoors close to home

Lake Poway offers fishing, boat rentals and a loop trail with lake views. Iron Mountain is one of the most popular hikes in San Diego County, and Blue Sky Ecological Reserve offers a shaded, easy walk.

Schools

Poway Unified is one of the most sought-after districts in the region, and it's a big reason families choose Poway. Its schools serve Poway as well as parts of Rancho Bernardo and 4S Ranch.

Neighborhoods to know

• Central Poway for established single-family homes close to shops and parks.
• Green Valley and Northeast Poway for larger lots, view homes and horse properties.
• StoneRidge for golf course living and upscale homes.
