This Poway neighborhood ranks in the top quartile among 621 San Diego metro neighborhoods for overall investment fundamentals, with an A rating driven by strong demographics and amenity access. The area features 74th national percentile amenity density, including 3.33 grocery stores per square mile and robust childcare infrastructure supporting family-oriented renters.
Demographics within a 3-mile radius show household income stability with a median of $141,867, positioning above metro averages and supporting rental pricing power. The area maintains 27.4% renter-occupied housing units, creating a concentrated tenant base for multifamily properties. Five-year projections indicate household count growth of 33.1%, expanding the potential renter pool while median household income is forecast to increase 38.4% to $196,388.
Built in 1986, this property aligns with the neighborhood's average construction year of 1988, suggesting consistent building stock and potential value-add opportunities through strategic renovations. Home values averaging $876,402 with 56% growth over five years reinforce rental demand by limiting ownership accessibility for many households. Neighborhood-level occupancy of 89.9% reflects solid tenant retention, though recent softening warrants monitoring for lease management strategies.
The area benefits from excellent school ratings averaging 4.0 out of 5, ranking in the 84th national percentile, which supports family tenant attraction and retention. Rent-to-income ratios remain manageable, reducing affordability pressure that could impact lease renewals in higher-cost San Diego submarkets.

Violent crime rates have shown more significant improvement, dropping 46.9% year-over-year and ranking in the 84th national percentile for violent crime reduction.
