Score Breakdown
Our Take
Fremont offers solid schools and a high median income, making it attractive for families and commuters. However, it’s very car‑dependent with low walkability and limited public transit. If you can drive, it’s a solid choice; if you rely on walking or transit, you’ll find it lacking.
