    "Great school district-Poway Unified. Several Blue Ribbon schools. Quiet. Safe at night. Great for raising kids. Close to freeways without being noisy. 30 mins to downtown, 30mins to North County, 10-15 mins to the beach. Be sure to check out "Christmas Card Lane" in December! Cons: Sometimes, there are fires and we get evacuated. "
