- Fremont was formed in 1956 from five towns — Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles and Warm Springs — so homes range from early-1900s houses in Niles and Centerville to 1960s–70s tract homes in Glenmoor and Cabrillo and much newer construction in Ardenwood and Warm Springs.
- The Hayward Fault runs through central Fremont, so water-heater strapping, flexible gas connectors and foundation bolting come up often in older homes.
