About the City of Fremont

Fremont is a city of some 200,000 residents, located between Oakland and San Jose on the East Bay in Northern California. With a history spanning over 200 years, Fremont is an amalgam of five distinct communities - Niles, Irvington, Centerville, Mission San Jose, and Warm Springs.

In 1956 these communities incorporated to become The City Of Fremont, the third largest (in area) city in the state of California.(Visit UC Berkeley's interesting article on the history of Fremont).

Served by the 880 and 680 interstate freeways, the Dunbarton Bridge to the Peninsula, the BART mass-transit system to San Francisco and the San Jose to Sacramento Amtrak railroad, Fremont offers a pleasant location in which to live, but able commute into neighbouring commercial and industrial areas.

Fremont is a city of families, seniors and younger people alike, and has something to offer all. It is a considered a safe community, in which one can raise a family, and there are excellent schools to be found within its borders.

To reflect this varied demographic, the range of properties available to buy in Fremont is extensive.

Single family homes dominate the area, from 2 bedroom starter homes in Irvington and 28 Palms through 3-4 bedroom properties found in Glenmoor, Glenmanor and Parkmont to million-dollar luxury homes that can be found in Niles and Mission San Jose.

Condos and town homes can be found in many areas, however, particularly in commuter-friendly Warm Springs and Ardenwood.

We love Fremont so much, that many years ago we chose to live here. But don't take our word for it, find out more about the individual communities within Fremont by clicking the map below...
