Poway
Poway is an inland community located in the northern portion of San Diego. Its name comes from a Kumeyaay word which may translate roughly to “meeting of the valleys.” Fittingly, the most heavily populated parts of the area lie in a flat expanse of land surrounded by several lofty peaks. The area has many shopping and dining options along Poway Road, and a large business park to the south.
