A dynamic community focused on culture and education
With highly rated schools, a diverse cultural scene and proximity to Silicon Valley, the Fremont neighborhood of Blacow has all the suburban charm of the East Bay while remaining popular with commuters. “When we moved here in 1975, my parents chose this area because it was very geocentric to all possible jobs, the airports and the BART line,” says Sunil Sethi, broker and owner of Sunil Sethi Real Estate and longtime resident of Fremont. Sitting just north of Interstate 880, Blacow’s strong sense of community is highlighted by its distinct cultural offerings: Kids can attend fine arts classes at private schools such as Shivalaya Arts or practice traditional Indian performances at the Anuradha Academy of Dance. The neighborhood is also home to the newer Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Cultural Center, an active temple with a large local following. And with massive green spaces just a few miles away, residents have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the California sunshine.
Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Cultural Center is a spiritual center located in Blacow.
Sri Siddhi Vinayaka Ganesh Temple, situated in Blacow was established on July 6, 2013.

An international dining experience
From Indian street food to Korean bistro fusion, dining options near Blacow illustrate the diversity of the community, giving many residents a taste of home or a chance to try something new. "Fremont is known all around the Bay for having great Indian food," says East Bay editor Andy Murdock, Communications Director for the Innovative Genomics Institute in nearby Berkeley. “Two of my favorite places are right near Blacow. I’m getting hungry right now just thinking about them,” he says.
Shopping centers like The Globe Mall offer international cuisine and goods, which can be a big draw for buyers. “If you’re Asian, South Asian or Indian, you have all of the amenities to cater to that, all of the restaurants, grocery stores, cinema halls that cater to those ethnicities,” Sethi says. For additional shopping, residents will find a handful of big box stores just down the road at Pacific Commons Shopping Center, while NewPark Mall is popular with weekend shoppers for its Sunday farmers market.

Festivals in downtown Fremont
With downtown Fremont just 3 miles away, Blacow residents can easily attend events such as the Festival of the Arts in spring. The community also gathers for an annual Holi Festival at Washington High to celebrate the Hindu festival of colors.
Spacious midcentury properties
Blacow is stacked with midcentury modern ranch-style homes, offering spacious layouts of around 1,500 square feet and yards big enough for private pools. “It’s like a transition neighborhood, where the older people are moving to retirement communities, and everyone who’s buying in is a young family,” Sethi says, adding that many of those new buyers work in high-tech industries. Although the $900,000 to $1.5 million price range isn’t exactly a bargain, it’s nearly a million dollars cheaper than homes of the same size in Silicon Valley, making Blacow an attractive option for growing families looking for proximity to both employment and education options.

Fremont’s highly rated schools
Fremont is well-known for its exceptional schools, several of which are within walking distance of Blacow. “The biggest attraction to that community is Millard Elementary,” Sethi says, noting that Steven Millard Elementary, which scores an A on Niche, is the centerpiece of the neighborhood. Students can move on to attend Walters Middle and Kennedy High, which both score grades of A-minus on Niche. At Kennedy, students can gain early college credit and learn about sustainable biotechnology in the Green Tech Academy Program, made possible by a California Partnership Academy Grant.
The athletics at G.M. Walters Middle School are some of the best in the area.
