Residential neighborhood between San Francisco Bay and the Diablo Mountains
Four-and-a-half miles from downtown Fremont, the Mission Valley neighborhood offers residential comforts and urban conveniences at the base of the Mission Valley Foothills. Known for its natural beauty and highly rated schools, this Tri-Cities area is close to San Francisco Bay and Silicon Valley. Tied to the tech industry since the 1980s, today’s major area employers include Tesla, Lam Research and several hospitals. “Mission Valley is a great place to be because everything is right there: excellent schools, well-maintained homes and shopping centers. But what drives it are the schools. It’s called the Golden Triangle because of them,” says Tony Bruno, a Broker with Coldwell Banker with three decades of experience.
