Hot spot for high-tech careers, highly-rated schools and East Bay beauty

The central location of the Fremont neighborhood of Ardenwood makes it a popular spot for those who want to put down roots near big Bay Area employers. High-tech heavy hitters like Meta are nine miles away across the Dumbarton Bridge. San Francisco and San Jose are in commuting distance. And natural beauty surrounds Ardenwood in the marshland parks, scenic lakes, and East hills. “It’s a great location. Facebook is right across the bridge. Forest Park Elementary is popular with young families. And a lot of families have come just for the community sense,” says Omar Murillo, a Bay area native and top-producing Realtor. “It’s one of the top three neighborhoods in Fremont for those reasons.”

A range of home values and quick sales for housing

Ardenwood homes sell quickly, on the market an average of 14 days, compared to the 44-day national average. Two-story homes with front-facing two-car garages line some streets. Many were built in the 1980s during the height of Fremont’s development, and now feature renovations and additions. Other areas include newer Spanish Revival homes with stucco siding, small yards and neat landscaping. Coast live oaks, California buckeyes and Japanese maples dot some streets and line others. The average home value is about $1.5 million. Condos start around $550,000 for a one-bedroom and range up to about $1 million for a new or upgraded unit in a prime location. Single-family homes range from $1.2 million for a two-bedroom built in the 1980s to $3.1 million for a newer four-bedroom home with updates. A small mobile home community in the northern tip of the neighborhood has homes priced from $150,000 to $300,000.

Nature, parks and history in and around the neighborhood draw families out

Ardenwood Historic Farm claims a large section of the neighborhood on the southern border. A working farm with a blacksmith shop, an outdoor kitchen and formal gardens surrounding a historic farmhouse, the park doubles as a bird refuge and offers tours, naturalist programs and holiday events. “It’s beautiful,” says Mamatha Vattipalli, who has lived in Ardenwood for 13 years and runs a family daycare. “It has farm animals—sheep, goats, cows, chickens, peacocks and turkeys. There’s a pumpkin festival in October, and an old train.” Ardenwood’s more typical neighborhood green spaces include Karl Nordvik Community Park with a playground, a half-basketball court, ball fields, and barbeque areas. Frank Fisher Park and Deep Creek Neighborhood Park both offer ball fields, playgrounds and open green lawns. The Alameda Creek Regional Trail provides access to Coyote Hills Regional Park, a 1,266-acre expanse of grasslands and wetlands on the shore of the bay that is a favorite for hiking, biking and birdwatching.
