Residents are attracted to Fremont for its nationally-recognized high-ranking public schools, its numerous parks and a variety of recreational amenities, including Lake Elizabeth, Central Park and Mission San Jose. Fremont’s central location, cultural diversity, affordable housing and lovely communities make it a wonderful place to work and live.
Dublin is located 35 miles east of San Francisco at the crossroads of Interstate 580/680 in the East Bay’s Tri-Valley region. Home to 50,000 people, Dublin is the third fastest growing city in California. Dublin offers a growing park system, excellent shopping options, and expanding open space and recreational offerings.
