Small East Bay suburb next to downtown Fremont and city parks

Located at the base of the Fremont Hills, Cherry-Guardino is a small East Bay neighborhood backed by traditional suburban conveniences. The community features a collection of established homes, top-rated schools, a sprawling city park and an array of retail and dining options. Partners Amiee Song and Bob Lewis of local Coldwell Banker Realty both share how Cherry-Guardino is a desirable Fremont community. “It’s a great neighborhood that’s close to the BART station and also next to Lake Elizabeth Park, which is very popular,” says Lewis, who has been a Bay Area Realtor for over 25 years. “Fremont, in general, is a top city in the East Bay, so this is a really attractive area to live in.”

A mix of contemporary style homes and condos

The neighborhood’s quiet, tree-lined streets feature common housing designs such as contemporary, traditional and contemporary ranch-style. The typical home features a private driveway, attached garage and ample yard space. Prices range between $1.2 million to $1.9 million. Condos and townhouses, usually contemporary in style, are another option in the neighborhood, with prices ranging from $450,000 to $1.4 million. “The Bay Area is expensive, but if you live on this side of the bay, you’re saving hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home,” says Paul LeJoy, a Realtor with Pacific Realty Partners who has lived in the Bay Area for more than two decades. “A lot of people work remotely now, so if you live here, you save all that money, and it’s not as crowded as it is on the peninsula.”

Lakeside parks and nearby hiking at Vargas Plateau Regional Park

The neighborhood borders Central Park, or Lake Elizabeth Park, as the locals call it. Set on 450-plus acres, it is anchored by the 80-acre Lake Elizabeth, which is popular for fishing and paddleboarding. A 2-mile walking path surrounds the lake, and other features include a lagoon nature area, a waterpark and a 32-hole golf course. There are also playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts and softball, soccer and cricket fields. The more expansive Vargas Plateau Regional Park sits to the east. It provides more than 1,200 acres of natural landscape for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding along miles of primitive trails in the Fremont Hills. Plus, the neighborhood is about 2 miles from Alameda Creek, where people can kayak, boat or hike along the water.
