@@RichFlemingRealtor hmmm, I probably don't understand what you mean by a "shopping hub" then. Regardless, it's way too crowded in the parking lots so I'm in prefer Union City and Newark 😉
I was born and raised in Fremont, and lived there for the first 29 years (now in Castro Valley). My parents bought their house in 1957 when it was brand new for $9950 (a shoe box of a house) that sold in 2021 for $921,000! I can vouch that everything mentioned in this video is true about Fremont.
Fremont use to not be a bad place to live, now it's just an overcrowded mess! With way too much development ! Way too much traffic! And Way too many people! Somewhere along the way? This place city lost its way! Think from poor leadership!
Fremont's challenges are similar to the rest of the Bay Area's. And the root cause of these problems is NIMBYism. You can complain about development and too many people, but in the USA, you can't prevent people from moving where they want. If you don't plan and develop for it, you end up with challenges like the Bay Area has.

fremont lost alot of what made it fremont, its not the same its turning into san Francisco, to many people compacted for expensive homes and apartments. nothing g fun to do anymore. very poor management thats why I left
Ransome! The condo market in Fremont has definitely coooled somewhat. Condos/Townhomes almost always feel negative market shifts more than detached homes. PLEASE NOTE that if you are going to use a VA loan to buy a condo, the condo development MUST be VA approved. If you want to talk about the details, reach me via text/call at 925.386.2999.

@@RichFlemingRealtor when we lived there prior to that time there was a larger population of Asians/whites. After, there was a much larger community of people from India.
There are problems with crime in Fremont. Moved out 20 years ago, after dealing with gang problems, shootings, and drug dealers. You also forgot to mention the 2 earthquakes fault that run through the City: San Andreas and Hayward. Many of the vital facilites: hospitals, BART, etc. are built directly on the fault. The old City Hall is also built on the fault. Many houses, especially older ones, are also within a mile of the Hayward fault line.
I actually did a video on natural hazards in the Bay Area and covered the earthquake faults. I don't usually bring the faults up in my videos because all of the cities from Fremont to Hercules along 580/880/80 are on the faults. It's just part of living in the Bay Area. If you moved out 20 years ago, you may not be fully versed on the crime situation in Fremont. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I wanted to agree but then thought about it and now I do not agree at all. I thought about BigSur, I thought about the beaches of San Deigo in La Joya, I thought about Taho and the Sierra mountains and the ski resorts, I thought about the Red Wood forests In Marin and north of it, I though about the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, and the breath taking Berkeley hills. I though about Highway 1 and other scenic roads, The wide remote farmlands of central Cali, etc... When it comes to the cities Yes, other than San Francisco they don't have much, but the state as whole, there is no state that can compare in the entire country.
The first thing I would check is housing costs in the area you want to live. It also depends on your living and family situation. Feel free to book an appointment with to discuss your particular situation ... calendly.com/richhomeviewings/real-estate-discussion-with-rich-fleming?month=2024-05
Nice, but EXPENSIVE! I’ve lived here for 55 years and have seen the housing prices rise dramatically over the years. Again, it is nice and if you can afford it then it may be for you. ✌🏼
Most iof the cities in Bayarea got expensive , i live in Hayward since 80s, alots changed & most houses here goes above over Million dollars , even in south Hayward ..used to get a town houses here under $300000 & rent was here for 2 bedrooms apartment was around $1000 a month back in 90s & 2000s ...now they rent a ROOM in the house for around $1000 amonth & townhouses is around million dollars...whole Bayarea/Eastbay getting expensive, NOT only Fremont
The wife and I lived in Fremont from 1956 to 2018. We left due to the changing demographics and rapidly upward spiraling housing costs. Now that the bike lanes have cut of right turns so to speak, traffic is now stupid level. Also, American cuisine is almost gone. We found ourselves in the Midwest in a home we bought outright for $35K. The city council shouldn't allow developers to pay "En Lieu" fees instead of developing low cost housing. Fremont (Niles) may have been my birthplace, but it's not home to me anymore. Too much change, all for the worst.
Grew up on farwell and went to Kennedy high school, I'd say north of Thornton ave close to union city has the most crime / ghetto activities , Mainly in north gate and Cabrillo. I saw the city shift from a lot of Mexican people moving out / Asians and Indians moving in because they have tech jobs in the Silicon Valley of downtown SF
@@Jj-bh1tv yea I mean somewhat probably but my first day of Kennedy was in 2015, and there was a stabbing within the first 30 min of us on campus cause some surenos from Newark transferred to Kennedy and saw their opps and got busy, thankfully the kid lived , so I get what I mean but it was still 40 percent Mexican when I went in '15
If you want to move to Fremont bring lots of MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$ 😐 Homes start at $1.5 M.......... Traffic, stay off the surface streets during commute hours.... Traditionally Fremont has always been known as a "Bedroom Community".... A/C Transit SUCKS in Fremont..... Irvington was never a town.... I was a printing error on a train menu.... You forgot Washington Township and Centerville.
40% less you pay for houses in Fremont, please tell me where. Unless you compare it with Los Altos, Saratoga and such there is no way Fremont house market is 40% less compared to Palo Alto and other like that. Come on.
Do you follow housing prices in the Peninsula? Try to find a detached home in Palo Alto for much under $3 million. Fremont is VERY expensive, but compared to the Peninsula, it's still a bargain.
Con; Take a ride on BART from Warm Springs station north, and get a window seat so you can view the scenery along the right of way, or go to Lake Elizabeth for a walk, and see the homeless sleeping on the park benches...the ones that are drooling are the addicts.

For shopping there is Pacific Commons and Fremont Hub, both huge.
true ... but they are both essentially super LARGE strip malls.

Lived in Fremont for years. Left at the height of the cultural change there in the late 90s/ early 00s. A lot of this is facts.
