The weather is beautiful, wish you were here... - 11/10/2008
Fremont has nice weather: mild year-round, and some late summer and early spring waves just to keep you guessing. It's November and we just had our first 'storm', which consists of lots of wind and some thunder and rain. Next day, it's sunny again! Spring has more rain, ans summer seems to come later than I want, usually July. Fall is nice, leaves turn, some sprinkles, but pleasant enough to take a walk in the evening. I love Read More

We are looking for a better area for our business - 10/28/2008
The three families who own our business are very fortunate to be able to have started this business 5 years ago, with only the capital in our homes, some of our retirements/investments and some investor's money. Our children have scholarships to a private Christian School connected to our church and or are homeschooled. Our families have helped us out when we needed it from time to time. The climate is moderate, the crime rate is reportedly very low and the area is very multicultural.

Housing is expensive and becoming less so, with the economy. We all have balloon payments that have adjusted down. As employers, we pay our bills & payroll ect. first and ourselves last. We all have sizable unsecured debt that we have not been able to pay down. Our business is thriving, but the founder's family is not doing as well. We have no retirement, and need some breathing room, ie money so that we can pay the debts off. The other two families have retirement and investments Read More

Fremont - 10/4/2008
Fremont is one of the nicest organized cities to live in. Although it is not on the peninsula it ic close enough to San Francisco and public transportation is abundant and reliable. Except for a few hot days during the summer this East bay city is a real gem when it comes to the weather. In addition there are ample things to do and see here with the most any outdoor activity within an hours drive or Read More

Just a place to live while working - 6/29/2008
Definitely nothing exciting about Fremont but it provides a cheaper alternative to life in the middle of Silicon Valley. Recreation is around near and far if you look - many parks/trails in the surrounding foothills. San Francisco a train ride away. Fremont is very diversified in cultures yet is mostly box store mentality. Too Read More

Mild Weather - 3/6/2008
I have lived in Fremont for the past 28 years. The winter temperature ranges from a typical midday low in the 40s to a typical midday high in the 80s in the summer. We may experience a couple of weeks in the summer of days in the 90s. Our rainy season is primarily contained to the months of December through March and snow would be a once in a lifetime Read More

Quality of Life - 1/17/2008

I have raised four children in the Fremont Community since
1991.The wide range of school activities, after school curricular
classes, and large assortment of educational choices for all
family values. Fremont received a huge upsurge of economy
during the Clinton years, and huge pouring in of immgrants
from all over the world workforce with a giant demand for high
tech employable workers,engineers,bio tech,and numerous firms
received great employees along the way!
The parks,the seashore,wildlife and mountains are all in harmony
bringing together cultures from all over the world!
Fremont is still a growing community, and offers highly paid wages,
great education for children and adults, and the quality of life
is in continuous change,as the new B.A.R.T is being completed,
and the high tech companies bring more new growth here in the future!
It takes great families, to grow great Read More

After 2 months of living here. - 11/24/2007
I recently moved here with my girlfriend (we're in our late 20's) near Fremont Central Park. I work in Santa Clara and she works in Pleasanton. Our apartment is gorgeous with panoramic views of the mission hills and Lake Elizabeth. We're less than a quarter mile from the police station so that keeps most of the wrong types of people away. Although we paid a premium to live here we couldn't be happier.

I'm white and my girl's Asian. We're pretty used to being around different cultures but Fremont will test anyone. I think the city stats are off because Indian and Asian seem like the main two races here with white a distant third. For example, on a busy day at the lake I walked the 2.5 miles and counted 12 people out of 100 were white.

Like any city, it's a trade-off between having tons of stuff to do and dealing with the occasional crack-head.

Over-all I'm happy and the neighbors just seem shy at Read More

Median Home Price: $815k. No downtown. Severe cong - 10/12/2007
I no longer live in Fremont, and I would not move back. Diversity is great and all, but when certain people walk in the streets pushing strollers to avoid the "path of the infidels" (aka sidewalks) it becomes somewhat discusting to live there. 880 and 680 are in constant gridlock, mostly from the smart people who commute to San Jose from places further north. No downtown, nothing to offer. Pediatrician couldnt qualify for a mortgage on a fixer upper here without a winning lottery ticket. And if you want an apartment, be careful, as this is where the slums of Fremont are neatly tucked behind walls. Although it is a great location if youre looking for a hotel, its just toxic and inhospitable as a place to Read More
