"Rancho Bernardo is a beautiful place to live.  Mountains and palm trees are everywhere.  There are tons of things to do - you can see people taking walks all the time with their pets.  A lot of hikers, bikers, and active people in this community."

"I love living here.  It's clean and friendly, and we feel very lucky to have our children attending schools that are a part of the Poway School District, because it's so highly rated.  The city is also easy to commute from - it's about thirty minutes to San Diego State University, and fifteen minutes to Miramar Community College."

"Rancho is perfect!  It's a cozy neighborhood with wonderful people who care about one another.  It offers so much for people who love to spend time both indoors and outdoors.  There are so many wonderful hikes, and a lot of different community organizations you can join.  There are libraries and parks for the whole family, which makes it such a nice place!"
