"Ardenwood Preserve is just a walk from your doorstep"

The Ardenwood neighborhood is in my opinion the best neighborhood in Fremont. Ridgewood Drive is one of the streets in this area. Besides modern and easy living, this road is also a great scenic drive for motorists. The area is literally a step away from the Ardenwood Regional Preserve which is a park that offers plenty of activities. People can explore wildflowers, celebrate fire-truck day (which the kids will love, my parents took me when I was a kid) and they can appreciate history because the park talks about the farming techniques that date back to the late 1800's. As a history major I find this stuff relatively exciting. So as you can see this is a great street to live on for various different reasons. Everything is also well kept to give the street a very calm feeling.

"Colorful street with a park in tow as well."

Color! Color! Color! That is one of the biggest steals and attractions on Deep Creek Road. There are many hedged-trimmed bushes that comes in shades of reds and greens. The lawns are all green and the trees are gigantic. They look like spruce trees. Deep Creek in terms of value is through the rough because of all the perfection that has gone into the landscaping. The street is also close to a park which ironically enough has the same name. The park is great for BBQ's and playing soccer. It also has an exceptional playground for kids. This is a really great area to raise kids. Parks and ample amounts of sidewalk space allow this place to be fortified as a child's dream land and a parent's location of their dreams.

"Don't speed or else you might injure somebody"

Falcon Drive is a typical but curvy street. The many twist and signs are a warning to motorists to go the SPEED limit. The are always accident that happen on this street. Most of them aren't deadly but they do often cause bodily harm. The houses are pretty nice on this street that have some pretty sweet rides. I don't think that I have ever seen a street that is filled with so many Acura's. Close access to Alvarado Blvd allows easy shopping and other things of interest right at the finger tips of the people that live on this street.

"Weekly parades are a great way to meet new people"

You can just call this street Niles instead of Alvarado Niles. The street actually has many names. Since it goes through the whole stretch of Fremont the road is actually very familiar with the locals. The street is known for its weekly parades. That is right not yearly or monthly but weekly. The parades have some of become tradition. I think they have lost their original meaning a long time ago but they are always fun to attend and meet new people. They are free too and when you are living on a budget these types of things are great. The shape of the road in terms of condition could using some major revamping. I am not fond of roads that add problems to my vehicle. The road itself does go through most of Fremont so there are plenty of areas that are both residential and commercial.

"Busy and slow street. The perfect combination."

Wouldn't it be great to live on a street that offers something for everyone? Nicolet Ave is close to Quarry Lakes which provides plenty of swimming, fishing and even camping opportunities. The are plenty of nice little trails for hikers and bikers alike. There are charming houses and the street also curves through the famous and busy Fremont shopping district. Once you get pass Fremont Blvd heading South the street becomes more urbanized. The houses give way to shops and stores. This is a really great and upcoming area. The road itself south of Fremont Blvd has been under going reconstruction so traffic can be dense at times. The reconstruction process is a good thing though, because there were some potholes that were not too user friendly. Nicolet Avenue is also a great street to explore during the summer because you can meet a low of out-of-towners that are attracted to Quarry Lakes Regional Park area.

"Lots of dark barks during the day"

Reynolds Drive is one of those streets that seems to have it all. The street has nice houses, a slow and quiet environment, minimal traffic, friendly people and a close escape to the water. The street is also a dead end which is probably really nice for the neighbors knowing that there is only one way out and most people would never have any reason to come down the street unless they were actually coming to visit someone. My friend lives in a nice double story house on Reynolds street and every time I visit him I can always hear dogs and more dogs. I wouldn't be surprised if every home owner on the street owned a dog with as many barks that go off during the day. This is a really great place for retired couples and modest sized families.

"The best shopping in area in Fremont"

Calling all shoppers. The streets surrounding the Argonaut Way are in Fremont area the area's most premiere shopping districts. There are plenty of independent retailers from vintage shops to individual local artist shops to the higher and more familiar stores like Old Navy clothing stores and Barnes and Nobles. This is a great area to spend the weekends and an even better to get all of your holiday shopping done. There are plenty of corporate chained and fast-food restaurants along the way to offer intervals in between shopping sprees. There are even a few old warehouses that have been converted into large condos. Those would be so awesome to live in. I bet they are quite pricey. I am curious to see what the insides of them look like. The area is always busy come weekends or in the middle of the week. So be prepared for some heavy traffic.

"Nice shopping area but needs a major overhaul in the upkeep area."

Palm trees might be a familiar site in California, but they are sill always nice to see. It reminds you that you are in a place where winter does not exist. Blacow Road has plenty of palm trees. The road is lengthy and is home to fast-food joints, houses, schools, the Fremont Central Park, familiar outlets such as big named retailers and other independent locations. This is a decent area in terms of shopping but I wouldn't want to live on this street. For one it is too busy and a lot of the area has a grubby look. Despite being busy street the upkeep has been relatively poor. People that are not from the area would probably not even stopping at any of the shops because of the look or leave with a bad impression of the area.

"Reclusive living and home to two cellular towers."

Andante Street offers a reclusive escape that many other streets don't offer. This is a quiet street for the most part that is home to modest middle class homes. There is a downside to this street and that is that it has to major towers that serve as areas of interest for cellular devices and other things. So there are always workers and trucks at the end of the street during the weeks and whenever storms or something happens. They aren't lour or anything it is more of an annoyance than anything else. Especially if they have more than a couple of trucks in the area because they often just park in the road without any worries of other drivers that might need to pass on through. This would be a great neighbiorhood to raise a family though.

"Crazy at day and quiet at night"

I-880 or also known as Nimitz Freeway is insane during rush hour. It certainly is not a road that you want to be on, at least not me. It can't be avoided though if you are a regular driver who commutes into the city for work. There is no medium when it comes to driving on the I-880 during peak volumes of traffic. The drivers are crazy, they refuse to use their blinkers and they all seem to be suffering from road rage. The interstate obviously has it's advantages. It offers exits to many major Fremont areas including the metro station and Fremont Central Park. This road is not so bad to drive on at night because there is hardly any traffic and it can be a quick usage of getting from one place to another, especially the clubs and stuff which are located in the downtown area.

"Very small street."

What better street to review that the street that you live on. I still live at home with the rents on Adagio Court. This is a very little street but it is located in an area of other residential streets, so I guess it can feel a lot bigger than it actually is. This was a decent area to grow up in. I don't feel like I missed out on anything in my child hood. I had plenty of friends, enough area to ride my bike and play outside. The houses are all decent in terms of value though they have probably declined a little with time just because this is not really a hopping area. Sure it is nice enough for families but it does not really have anything else beside houses. Marshall Park is close by. I played baseball at that park a lot with my friends, so that is always a plus..living close to a park.
