Glenmoor

Glenmoor

 

Centrally located and bound by Mowry Ave to the south, Fremont Boulevard to the east, and Interstate 880 on the west, Glenmoor is a luxury, mid-century, master-planned community with parks, stores, a hospital, and sporting facilities. With nearly 1,900 developed homes, this neighborhood thrives as Fremont's largest destination for families.
 
The early settlers of the Glenmoor area cultivated large farms -- ranging in size from 80 to 188-acres -- on which they raised livestock and grew grain. However, by 1900, these landmark agricultural estates had been broken up into much smaller farmsteads, flourishing with apricots, cherries, and walnuts until tract development began in the 1950s, refining what we know as Glenmoor today.
 
With an abundance of ranch-style homes featuring huge backyards, this neighborhood sets itself apart from many others. Enjoy the many broad tree lined streets with sprawling executive homes that scream curb appeal.

Fremont, the fourth most populous city in the Bay Area, has deep history and is often voted one of the happiest big cities in America.

 

When Anthony Marinelli arrived to the area to sell Fremont real estate 33 years ago it was still a town more than a City. 33 years before that, it was a collection of five individual townships that incorporated to form the City of Fremont; coincidentally, also the same year Anthony was born. Now recognized as districts; Centerville, Niles, Irvington, Warm Springs, and Mission San Jose represent the unique characteristics of Fremont. In that same vein, the Marinelli Real Estate team has grown with Fremont – Anthony as the city has transformed, Nicole growing up in Niles and Chuck being born and raised in Glenmoor.

 

Where Glenmoor real estate is located now, originally consisted of seven 19th century large farms, ranging in size from 80 acres to 188 acres. Early settlers, including Garrett Norris, Herman Eggers, Robert Blacow, Martin Brophy, and Ashley Cameron who's name still grace the streets of Glenmoor, raised stock and grew grain. Glenmoor Gardens was largely developed on the sites of the Norris, Eggers, Cameron, and Brophy farms. The lands of Norris and Eggers covered 275 acres between Blacow Road and Fremont Boulevard; the Cameron and Brophy farms covered 320 acres below Blacow Road. By 1900, most of the large agricultural estates of the pioneer settlers had been broken up into small farms, generally between 15 and 35 acres in size, primarily for growing apricots, cherries, and walnuts. Many of these farms were eventually owned by persons of Portuguese descent, including the Bettencourt, Caldeira, Duarte, Lewis, Rogers, and Silva families. The most prominent Portuguese American landowner in the area was the attorney and civic leader John G. Mattos. His residence still stands at 38323 Blacow Road, near Mattos Court. Continuing the tradition of desirable land, Glenmoor stands as one of the most desirable neighborhoods Fremont has to offer. Don’t believe me, ask Marinelli Real Estate member (and Nicole's Husband and Willa's dad!) Chuck Herrmann, he grew up there!
