Top of the Line New Listings in Fremont

1504 Lemos Ln 5/3.5 (2131) $999,999
This is probably one of the best areas for great schools. It’s not far from the beautiful foothills and in between two beautiful parks. Fremont’s own Central Park is quite spectacular and a new swim park is being added that will be ready next year about this time.

180 Montevideo Cir 4/3 (2503) $1,259,950
Another great looking house in the Mission District of Fremont. This place is very open and airy. Although I have been noticing over the years that the houses are getting bigger and the yards are getting smaller. And yet fewer people are having large family nowadays. What’s with that?

41431 Joyce Ave 4/4.5 (3300) $1,588,000
And yet another large house in the Mission District. This one is buried deep into the neighborhood so if you don’t like to be on or near busy streets this one would be a good choice.

44483 View Point Cir 5/3 (3418) $1,728,888
Now if I was to decide on a place to live in Fremont I would go towards the foothills. Just about every home nestled in the foothills has a fantastic view of the whole bay area. Granted, some of the homes (this one included) don’t come with that thrilling view right out the window, but you are just a hop, skip and jump away from the wonderfully grueling hike up Mission Peak. And if you survive that hike all the way to the top you also get a great view of the Pleasanton and Livermore areas.

42648 Baron St 4/2 (1779) $1,299,950
This one looks a little pricey for what you get but then again it is in the much desired Mission District of Fremont. What can I say?

44293 Hunter Pl 5/4.5 (4268) $2,156,888
Now this house definitely qualifies as a top-notched. I often go on walks through this neighborhood because I get some great gardening ideas from the homes here. And I can mentally pick them apart with very critical thoughts like: “why did they put that big fountain right there…how tacky”. Somehow this makes me feel superior because I can see all kinds of faux-pas’ in these muckety-muck houses. Hah!

180 Montevideo Cir 4/3 (2503) $1,259,950
Looking at the pictures of these homes I am noticing a definite trend in how they vacuum the carpets. They all have a fresh vacuum cleaner path with no footsteps on them. Sort of like the patterns on a freshly mowed baseball field. It bothers me and I don’t know why. I want to go stomp around on the carpet or some such silliness.

So obviously I have chosen a specific area of Fremont that I am rather fond of, the Mission District near the foothills and Mission Peak. I love it here and like to come here to hike, but feel totally stupid when I feel it necessary to ‘drive’ to where I want to hike, so these houses are all near many hiking trails all headed up to the top of Mission Peak. And believe it or not, on summer weekends it is next to impossible to find a parking place in the Mission Peak parking lot that provides about 30 parking spaces. Shows how many people feel they need to drive to a place to walk for exercise. We are a strange lot, us humans! As an added bonus there is a long-running rumor that M.C.Hammer (rap singer) used to have a spectacular house up in these foothills. When you take the trail behind Ohlone College up to Mission Peak along the way you can look down on what once was his house. It would be funny if he never really lived there but people kept pointing at it and saying ‘Look, that used to be M.C.Hammer’s house’. Can you imagine having random people driving by your house and pointing at it and whispering and making oooh’s and ahhh’s sounds? Is that a good selling point or not? I don’t really know.
