There are grab bars in both bathrooms (because I have an unfortunate history of breaking my legs).

Im sure Ive overlooked something, and am perpetually amazed by just how much happens in this small town.THE COMMUTEOverall, a better commute than most in the Bay Area. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: AC Transit bus 216 passes in front of the house, stops on the same block, and goes to both BART locations. Union City BART station is 6-minutes away by car. Fremont BART station is 8-minutes away by car. Amtrak / ACE station is 8-minutes away by car.APPROXIMATE COMMUTE TIMES BY CAR Washington Hospital is 6-minutes away Kaiser Permanente Fremont Medical Center is 9-minutes away Palo Alto Medical Foundation is 9-minutes away Lucid is 16-minutes away Solar City (Fremont location) is 22-minutes away Tesla factory is 23-minutes away Rivian in both San Jose and Palo Alto are less than half an hour away (unless youre traveling during rush hour, in which case welcome to Bay Area traffic). Meta (Facebook) is 18-minutes away, traffic permitting (but let me tell you the Dumbarton Bridge is horrible during peak commute hours)DISTANCE TO SCHOOLS Ohlone College 13-minute drive, 33-minutes by bicycle, 53-minutes by bus, California State, East Bay 16-minutes by car. Public transportation is doable but time-consuming. Your best bet would be a combination of your personal bicycle, plus BART, and it would take about 40-minutes. Chabot College 17-minutes by car; 42-minutes if you combine BART and your bicycle; 54-minutes by bus. San Jose State 27-minutes by car (traffic permitting); but with your bicycle and BART, you can get to school in just under an hour. Berkeley 37-minutes by car (traffic permitting); alternately, take the 216 bus to the Union City BART station, and take the Orange line to Berkeley (a little over an hour)Stanford half an hour by car (traffic permitting); 1 hr, 5-minutes by busOTHER DRIVING DISTANCES Safeway is 4-minutes away Whole Foods is 8-minutes awayTrader Joes is 12-minutes away Walgreens (with a drive through pharmacy) is 8-minutes away Target is 21-minutes away Walmart is 17-minutes awayFUN PLACES TO VISIT NEARBY iFly indoor skydiving is a 6-minute drive away Fremont Park Golf Club is a 6-minute drive awayQuarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area (swimming, fishing, sailboards/stand-up paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, and boats with electric-powered motors) is 4-minutes away. Central Park has too many amenities to list, but I will simply mention the water park, the boat rentals, the skate park, and the dog park, is 6-minutes away,TRAIN-ENTHUSIASTSThis is a great location for train lovers there are RR tracks behind the house ( and youll also be within walking distance of the historic Niles Canyon Railway ( you can walk to the platform and hop on the Wildflower Train, the Wine Train, or the Christmas Train depending on the time of year. Inside the house, dual-paned windows keep train noise to a minimum.AIRPORTSAll three major regional airports (San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose) are a reasonable distance from the house, and Ive used all of them depending on where I was traveling, and what deals I could find. SFO is the nicest, but its also most likely to get fogged in. SJC is the next nicest, but is the most inconvenient if you want to take BART. OAK is less likely to get fogged in than SFO, has better transportation than SJC, often seems to have good deals, but is shabbier, and the Oakland Coliseum stop does have that Raiders vibe. All three airports have public transportation options, although I usually just take an Uber. Both San Francisco and Oakland Airports have easy BART connectors ( Fly into San Francisco Airport, get on SFO's AirTrain to the Garage G/BART Station stop, then take BART to Union City. From the Union City Bart station, catch bus 216 to Niles (or just Uber) The Oakland Airport BART station is just a short walk from both airline terminals. Take BART to Union City. From the Union City Bart station, catch bus 216 to Niles (or just Uber) San Jose International Airport does NOT have an easy BART connector. Take VTA Route 60 (.a. the Airport Flyer) to the Milpitas BART Station, then take Bart to the Fremont station, then either catch bus 216 or grab an Uber for the final leg.OVERALL Niles is a great historic neighborhood, and by far the most fun place to live in Fremont. Best of all, the dog and I are rarely home youll mostly have the house to yourself.
