Poway Real Estate Market
The median sale price in Poway was about $1,230,000 over the past 12 months, across 397 home sales in ZIP 92064 (per SDMLS, October 2026). That is up about 4% from $1,177,500 in the prior 12 months. Homes sold in an average of about 35 days at a median of about 100% of list price, and 48% sold at or above asking, up from 39% the year before, so well-priced homes still move quickly.

Land is what sets Poway apart. At least 73 homes on an acre or more sold for a median of about $2,030,000, while homes on smaller lots sold for about $1,180,000. Prices per square foot held at about $630 across all homes, the same as the year before. Condos and townhomes are a small part of the market: 16 condos and 22 townhomes sold, at medians of about $690,000 and $759,000, and a few manufactured homes sold for under $400,000. In early October 2026, 74 homes were listed for sale in Poway, and detached homes were asking a median of $1,775,000. The other 15 listings asked a median of $645,000.

What Makes Poway Unique
- More than half of Poway's 39.4 square miles is preserved as open space, which is why the city calls itself "The City in the Country." Blue Sky Ecological Reserve alone covers 598 acres, owned by the state, the county and the city.
- Poway has 78 miles of public trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding, linking neighborhoods to Lake Poway, Blue Sky Ecological Reserve and Iron Mountain. The Iron Mountain trail starts at State Route 67 and Poway Road.
- Horses are part of daily life. City rules allow large animals on lots of at least 10,000 square feet, and the Rural Residential zones allow the most, so horse property is easier to find here than in most suburbs this close to central San Diego.
- Poway has been its own city since December 1980, with its own fire department and law enforcement under contract with the San Diego County Sheriff. It is not part of the City of San Diego.
- The Poway Business Park holds more than 500 businesses and about 18,000 jobs, including General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, GEICO and Sysco, so some residents work inside the city.

Poway School Information
Poway is served by the Poway Unified School District, which serves more than 35,000 students across Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos, 4S Ranch and nearby communities and is the third-largest school district in San Diego County. Eleven schools sit inside the City of Poway, per the city: 2 high schools, 2 middle schools, 7 elementary schools and 1 adult school. Poway High School is the city's comprehensive high school, and Abraxas High School offers a continuation program. Middle schools in Poway are Meadowbrook Middle School and Twin Peaks Middle School. Elementary schools in the city are Chaparral, Garden Road, Midland, Painted Rock, Pomerado, Tierra Bonita and Valley Elementary.

Living in Poway: Who It's For
Poway fits three kinds of buyers best. First are families who want Poway Unified schools and a single-family home with a yard, at a detached median of about $1.38 million. Second are buyers who want land, room for horses or an RV, or quick trail access; they will find more of it in Poway than in most suburbs this close to central San Diego, and homes on an acre or more sold for a median of about $2 million. Third are commuters to the Poway Business Park, Rancho Bernardo, Sorrento Valley or UTC, who use Interstate 15 and Scripps Poway Parkway. Buyers on a tighter budget can start with Poway's condos and townhomes, which sold for medians of about $690,000 to $759,000. The typical detached home that sold was built in the mid-1970s, so some homes may need updating. Every buyer should budget for wildfire-related insurance costs, which vary by address.
