Rancho Penasquitos, a master planned community that is approximately 10,000 acres with about 52% designated for residential real estate development. The majority is middle class suburban homes but there are a few custom homes in the area. There are also a few townhomes, apartments and condominiums as well. Penasquitos neighborhoods are well maintained and quiet. With its country like appearance due to the hills and canyons, Rancho Penasquitos is actually more urban than it appears.

 

Many families make their homes here partly because of the acclaimed Poway school district. The neighborhoods are quiet, well-maintained with many families with kids. There are quite a few sports leagues and activities that are well-attended.

There are several small shopping areas in Penasquitos that provide services to its residents. Residents are also within a 5 minute distance of Mira Mesa and Carmel Mountain shopping areas. With great views from some of the homes that are built on the mesas and hills, there is also a 6 mile long creekside park that offers many recreational activities such as horseback riding, hiking, biking and a serene escape from noise and crowds of the city.

 

SR-56 goes through the area and provides residents with an easy driving access to the coast reducing congestion on surface streets.
