Up-and-coming downtown hub in the central Bay Area
Located in the heart of the California Bay area, downtown Fremont is a city center district on the rise. Bordered by thriving street hubs like Mowry Avenue and Paseo Padre Parkway, this central area is hoping to become Fremont’s go-to destination for residents seeking a vibrant place to work, live and play outside of the city’s more sprawling suburbia. “The downtown is very new right now, but once it takes out, Freemont will have more of a proper area you’d expect from a typical downtown,” says Nicole Causey, a Fremont native and local realtor/co-owner of Everhome Real Estate. “It’s getting there.” With an expansive development plan newly completed, which includes a massive new Convention Center, the hope is to continue bringing in newer residents looking for an urban, centralized Bay Area destination. “People who live here are a lot of couples and singles that are attracted to the Bay area and work in some type of tech sector,” Causey says. “I’ll have client couples, where one is working in San Francisco and the other is working in San Jose, so they’ll decide to live in this Freemont area because it’s perfectly in the middle for their commutes.” With numerous new condos and townhouses popping up, residing next to two major medical centers, trendy businesses and the city’s liveliest public park, Downtown Freemont is a desirable, up-and-coming district within the vast Bay Area metroplex.

Multiple shopping centers and authentic Mexican cuisine
Residents can experience all types of cuisines and shopping varieties throughout downtown. “One block over from the downtown center, where the Raley’s Supermarket is, there’s the Gateway Plaza shopping center. So, you have a lot of shops and nice local restaurants there like La Piñata Fremont, which is a really popular spot for Mexican food,” Causey shares. “There’s also Philz coffee right next to it, which is based out of San Franciso. They only have two locations, one of them being in Freemont, so it’s pretty popular here too.” Other local dining favorites include Smoking Pig BBQ on Mowry Avenue, where residents can try out classic BBQ items such as brisket and pulled pork with a side of live music on the weekends and weeknights. Downtown also has multiple other shopping areas, including Fremont Hub, an open-air mall with big box chains like Target, Marshalls and Trader Joe’s for more grocery essentials.

New condos and contemporary townhouses
“There are a lot of new construction condos, townhomes and apartments in the area,” says Causey. “There’s a big condo community right across from City Hall, and if you go a quarter mile out of this downtown center, you’ll find more single-family homes.” While single-family homes are limited, the ones available are often California bungalow-style or mid-century ranches built in the 1950s or 1960s. These homes are priced from $1,000,000 up to $2,000,000. Many two-story townhomes are clustered around Eggers Drive and can start in the $800,000s and go for over $1,000,000 for newer builds. Condos in downtown Fremont are aplenty, commonly located within contemporary-styled condominium buildings and starting at $400,000 for a smaller one-bedroom condo. Smaller two-bedroom condos can start in the $500,000s, while other two-bedroom condos in gated communities with luxury amenities can go for over $1,000,000.

The heart of downtown outdoor adventure at Central Park
Downtown Fremont has a few outdoor green spaces scattered throughout, but one main public park brings all the locals together. “Central Park, or the Elizabeth is what we call it, is a significant highlight for Freemont,” Causey says. “It has playgrounds, a dog park, a skatepark and a pavilion area.” Spanning 450+ acres, this expansive park has numerous additional features, including the 80-acre Elizabeth Lake that’s surrounded by a two-mile walkway for walkers and hikers. “Adjacent to it is also the Aqua Adventure Water Park that they opened about 8 or 9 years ago,” Causey adds. “It’s really popular and has a lot of water slides and a big splash pad.” Sports enthusiasts can get active at the site’s expansive cricket/soccer field and golf course, while children can run around the revered nature-inspired playscapes at the park’s Sabercat Play Area.

Arts and crafts festivals and weekly food trucks
As Downtown Fremont sits at the heart of the city, there are numerous events that residents can enjoy throughout the year. “Everything takes place at Central Park,” says Causey. “There’s an outdoor bandstand here where they will have concerts in the park.” This summer concert series at the park’s outdoor venue brings locals together for a variety of musical performers. One of the biggest events of the year is the Freemont Festival of the Arts, attracting over 150,000 patrons with two stages of live music, a “Kid City” section with rides and games and hundreds of Art and Craft booths for locals to explore. The Festival of India Mela and Parade is another big hit for Downtown Fremont and is considered the premier South Asian Festival in the Bay area. On a more frequent basis, residents also enjoy the Fremont Street Eats weekly food truck event that takes place from May through October. Locals get to try out some of the area’s best food trucks while listening to live music.

Along with being a highly walkable neighborhood, Downtown Fremont residents have convenient options for public transportation, including the Bay Area Rapid Transit. “There’s a downtown BART Station, so for commuting, people have easy access to this, and the area is next to main highways, so you have that type of accessibility when living here,” Causey says. The BART Fremont Station provides stops on the orange and green lines to other Bay Area locations, including the Oakland International Airport, 21 miles away. Downtown Fremont is located between Interstate 680 and Interstate 880, allowing residents a direct line into other hotspots like San Jose to the south and San Franciso to the west.
