SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IN FREMONT, CA. IS IMPORTANT FOR REAL ESTATE VALUES

I just read a newspaper story about high performing schools in Santa Clara County. The article puffed with pride over the consistently high ranking of those schools. They should be proud. High performing schools are important to students, school staff, families, the community and homeowners.

Yes! High performing schools are in desirable residential areas. Fremont, Ca. is a case in point. If you are interested in buying real estate in Fremont, Ca. you will pay a premium if the new home that you seek is in the Mission San Jose School District. Schools in the attendance area of Mission San Jose School District are also consistently ranked among the top performing California schools. We know that quality schools drive real estate values and that is true in the Mission San Jose School District as well as it is anywhere else.

Note that the list below, which I pasted from the San Jose Mercury News on-line article, shows that Fremont's Mission San Jose School District places schools at #4 (Mission San Jose) and #6 (John Gomes). It follows that the general area of Fremont, Ca. served by the Mission San Jose School District is the most expensive area in town for your real estate purchase.
