Fremont

As its neighbors underwent rapid development, the bohemian neighborhood of Fremont remained relatively untouched. Fortunately for real estate investors and those looking to live in Fremont, the neighborhood is now experiencing a boom in development with more mixed-used residential buildings popping up within its quirky streets.
Nicknamed “The Center of the Universe” by its residents, Fremont has retained its weird and unique character despite its recent growth. Along North 36th Avenue, its commercial center features hip bars, exciting restaurants, indie shops, and other small local businesses. While Fremont’s hillside microneighborhoods, reached by narrow streets and hidden stairways, remain a charming and sought-after area.
