Your Move-in Guide to Fremont, CA

With a population of over 220,000 people, Fremont is the fourth-largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second-largest in Alameda County after Oakland. Well-connected to Silicon Valley, it is an important tech hub itself, with plenty of job opportunities and high-ranking schools. These factors, along with the high number of green spaces, attract many young professionals and families with children to the area.

When it comes to demographics and housing numbers, it is worth noting that over 60 percent of Fremont's population is of Asian origin, almost half of the residents are foreign-born, and the median value of a housing unit is over 1 million dollars. This price is largely due to the high number of McMansions that the City is lately trying to limit in favor of smaller homes in older, established neighborhoods. Rent doesn't bring good news either; at over $2,500, it is 21 percent higher than San Francisco, 52 percent higher than the rest of California, and more than twice the national average.

Nice Doing Business in Fremont

Opening a business in Fremont or relocating an existing one here has its perks. Among them are tax incentives, workforce development programs, a streamlined permitting process, and the fact that Fremont is located within a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).

• Business tax exemptions are granted to agricultural businesses, insurance companies, banks, financial institutions, public utilities, as well as highway carriers and non-profit associations.

• FTZ advantages apply to Fremont companies engaged in international trade, as it allows businesses to import and export goods duty-free or at a reduced rate.

• Businesses in manufacturing, research and development, as well as those related to electric power generation, storage, or distribution, can benefit from a partial sales tax exemption on qualifying equipment. Note: Over 20 percent of jobs in Fremont are in advanced manufacturing.
