With a population of over 230,000 as of 2025, Fremont is one of the Bay Area’s largest cities and offers a dynamic blend of suburban living, technological innovation, and cultural richness.

It also boasts excellent parks, a strong school system, and access to both Silicon Valley and East Bay cities.
