Decoto Rd, Cabrillo

Decoto Road runs through northern Fremont and connects Union City to Newark (where it merges into a full-blown freeway, 84). It also connects directly to BART and Interstate 880, making it a popular commuter route. Crossing into Newark, where the street portion becomes Jarvis Ave., it leads right to the Dumbarton Bridge and the Peninsula. This is nearly a complete straightaway, so it offers driving convenience and connects to multiple area neighborhoods.

Decoto Road itself is a well developed area with shops and a number of major intersections, including Fremont Blvd. So it is definitely in the thick of it all, and thus not recommended for those who want to be off by themselves! It is primarily a commercial zone with relatively few homes, so it is more a place to shop or pass through than to rest. However, there are a lot of residential developments just off Decoto, such as Cabrillo Park and Northgate.
