Fremont...

[calmb4dastorm]

So I'm really close to getting a job at the Tesla Plant in Fremont. If I do get it, my wife and I want to move closer. We are currently in Fairfield and Fremont will be an hour drive one way for me. I'm wondering if any of you guys live close to Fremont and have any suggestions and decent neighborhoods and what not. Thank you in advance!

i hear good things about union city and milpitas which are both close to fremont. I don't know exact details since i live in South San Francisco, which is about a 40 min drive to fremont.

I'll look into both places. Thanks for the tip. My wife and I looked at a couple places already. I'm jus amazed at how much rent is out there. Although, if we do move out there and I get called to deploy again, the BAH will be awesome! lol

I'm interested as to how much is rent out there??

Like for a 1/1 apt here in south FL(decent apt and not in the hood) $1,400-$1,700 but a 2/2 is $1,300.

For 2/1 and 2/2 apartments in the bay I was seeing rent start at $1500 to $1600. I'm about 45 min from the bay now and my wife and I are paying $1200 for a 2/1. There are cheaper apartments in Fairfield but while I was in Afghanistan I wanted my wife to be better protected. This complex is gated and has on staff security. Plus it's about 10 min from the AirForce Base here.

Thanks for the info as I was interested in the cost to live difference, so it is relatively the same for both as far as renting costs. I found cheaper rent here also but my fiance had to worry about walking the dog at night alone so the increase in $$$$ is worth knowing she's safe.

Good luck on the house hunt and stay safe on the next deployment!

For sure. And thank you. With Cali being so big, rent varies a lot. Or first apartment was a 1/1 at $650 a month. It was also in one of the most ghetto neighborhoods in Fairfield. I totally hear ya on paying a little more for piece of mind and saftey. That's hwy I started this thread. I've only live in 3 towns in Cali since I was 5 (I'm almost 29 now).
