Fremont offers a blend of activities, landscapes and opportunities
Located in northern Ohio, about 10 miles from the coast of Lake Erie, Fremont has plenty of recreation, everyday amenities and a close community feel. “Most of Fremont is people walking their dogs and friendly neighborhoods,” says Realtor Alishia Poorman with Polter Real Estate, who has sold in the area since 2012. “It’s great for family. I was born and raised here, and I love it.” Parts of Fremont epitomize the suburban atmosphere, with well-kept front lawns lining quiet residential streets. Downtown has a faster pace along State Street, while the local reservoir offers an outdoor retreat. A variety of elements comprise Fremont, catering to many different interests and lifestyles.

Residents utilize indoor and outdoor recreation facilities
Fremont has several parks throughout the area with open green space and access to the Sandusky River. “Our mayor is really big on grants for our parks, so they’re amazing,” Poorman says. The Fremont Reservoir accommodates boaters and anglers and features a hiking loop along the shore. People often walk the grounds of former President Rutherford B. Hayes’ estate, library and museum. The Fremont Community Recreation Complex, adjacent to the city dog park, hosts youth sports and adult leagues, from hockey to basketball. Facilities include an indoor skating rink and track, a gym and a swimming pool, which are accessible through membership or day passes. Bikers can hit the North Coast Inland Trail, comprising just under 30 miles of paved pathways across numerous cities.

Single-family properties occupy well-kept lots
Fremont’s housing market primarily consists of single-family builds with various architecture, from Cape Cods and ranch-style homes to New Traditional constructions. Two-bedroom, early 20th-century options needing renovations start around $40,000, though lots with multiple acres and larger houses may reach $650,000. “I sell 40 to 60 homes per year, so the market is always busy and always seems to be rising,” Poorman says. “A lot of people remodel here, too, and those homes can be a little pricy.” Sidewalks, modest green lawns and oak trees line most residential streets, and many houses have driveways and garages. “All of the neighbors keep up their properties, which makes it easy to sell homes here,” Poorman says. “Everybody abides by maintaining value.”
Ranch homes are very popular along the outskirts of Fremont.

Vintage restaurants, department stores and local shops are close by
Numerous shopping centers provide major retailers, from Walmart and Kroger to Lowe’s. “It’s the biggest town for all the smaller surrounding areas,” Poorman says. “People come to Fremont for big-box shopping.” Restaurants, shops, businesses and services are scattered throughout downtown along State Street. Though dozens of fast-food chains are available, many people dine at local mainstays. “A lot of the restaurants are older and have been around for a long time,” Poorman says. Chud’s Market & Grille recently celebrated its 100th year as a diner and convenience store, and Whitey’s has served American classics since 1953.

School choice program for elementary grades and private options
Children can enroll in the Fremont City School District, which scores an overall C-plus on Niche and an A for diversity. The district has four elementary schools that feed into C-rated Fremont Middle and Fremont Ross High, which earns a C-plus. Students attend elementary schools based on their home address, though applications are available through the Intradistrict Open Enrollment Procedure if families prefer a different option. B-rated St. Joseph School is a private prekindergarten through 12th-grade institution, and Bishop Hoffman Catholic School scores a B-plus for grades 6 through 12.
Fremont Middle School welcomes eager minds from the community.

Events range from holiday parties to county fairs
The community comes together for celebrations throughout the year. “There are downtown events, block parties, farmers markets, and every holiday is big here,” Poorman says. The Cruisin State Street Car Show brings in hundreds of antique car lovers, and each October, businesses volunteer to give out sweets during the Chocolate Walk. The Sandusky County Fair’s grounds are in Fremont and include a car racing speedway. Downtown also hosts a New Year’s Eve celebration, and Poorman says, “Last year, there were three stages, each with performers. It brings Times Square to Fremont.”
Most commuters get around Sandusky County by car
Interstate 90 leads to Toledo, 35 miles northwest, and northeast to Cleveland, 85 miles away. U.S. routes 6 and 20 head toward smaller towns. Though not as commonly used, TRIPS buses provide two shuttle lines throughout the area, as well as scheduled curb-to-curb rides. Travelers go to Eugene F Kranz Toledo Express Airport for Allegiant flights to Florida or Phoenix, and more services are available at Cleaveland Hopkins International Airport, 75 miles away.
