Coveted Fremont neighborhood with highest-rated school district
Situated at the base of gently rolling hills, Mission San Jose balances old and new with suburban housing tracts that surround the grounds of a historic missionary chapel. Spanish settlers and missionaries established the mission at the end of the 18th century and developed the area as the center of industry and agriculture. Mission San Jose was transformed over time, and natural disasters severely damaged the old church and settlement buildings. Preservationists restored the mission and built a near-perfect replica of its original church throughout the 20th century. While visitors come here to visit the Mission San Jose Chapel and its museum, others call this coveted area home, known for its desirable homes and suburban offerings, most notably its school district. “Most people choose to live here because of the schools. They are the best in Fremont,” says Maggie Ng, a local Bay Area realtor of 13 years at Legacy Real Estate. “The elementary, middle and high schools are all right next to each other and very close to the neighborhood, which is very ideal.” With this education aspect, there’s a strong family-oriented nature. “It’s also a very safe and nice area, and there are a whole lot of families living here, so you’ll see everyone in the community out and about and walking or biking around the neighborhood," Ng says.
