A major residential development for Poway is Harmon Ranch, an under construction single-family neighborhood on an approximately 11.5 acre site in the southern portion of the city. It is south of Poway Road and east of Pomerado Road. Located along Oak Knoll Road, Harmon Ranch will feature 64 homes – 63 new single-family units and 1 preserved historical unit.

The project is developed by Lennar Corp., with Bassenian Lagoni serving as the project’s architecture consultant. To enable this development, the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan was adopted by the Poway City Council in April 2024. There is an average density of 8.8 dwelling units per acre. Around 6 acres will be for residential buildings, leaving 3.2 acres for open space or recreation.
A defining feature of Harmon Ranch is the preservation of the Harmon House, a cobblestone home built in 1933 at 12702 Oak Knoll Road. It is currently designated as a City of Poway Historical Site 113 and has its own quarter-acre lot. Three existing homes in the area will be demolished to make space for this new project.

To support walkability, a new crosswalk across Oak Knoll Road will include pedestrian signage as well as flashing lights. There is also a planned community trail capable of connecting Harmon Ranch to nearby Towne Center Plaza mall and MTS bus stops served by routes 944 (to Sabre Springs) and 945 (to Rancho Bernardo).

Originally, the Specific Plan estimated a completion date of June 2026, but the project has since been delayed. Now Lennar expects construction to finish around mid-2027.
