Eastern Fremont, in the hills below Mission Peak. The most sought-after attendance area in the city, and the one most often claimed by listings that are not actually in it.
Source: Bay East / Paragon MLS closed sales for ZIP 94539, July 2025 to July 2026, compared against the twelve months before that. Single-family means detached; condo / townhome means attached. These are medians for the whole ZIP code, not for the neighborhood alone, because the MLS does not carry a neighborhood field. Medians move with the mix of homes that happened to sell and are not the change in value of any one home. Verify specifics for any individual property.
The Mission San Jose High attendance area is exactly the union of four elementary attendance areas: Joshua Chadbourne, John Gomes, Mission San Jose Elementary and Mission Valley. All four feed Hopkins Middle School, and Hopkins feeds Mission San Jose High. There is no fifth feeder.
On the most recent state CAASPP results, Mission San Jose High recorded 93.8% of eleventh graders meeting or exceeding standard in English and 88.8% in mathematics. Those numbers are the reason the attendance line moves prices, and they are also why buyers should confirm which side of it a specific address sits on.
Verified August 18, 2026 against the Fremont Unified School District attendance-boundary maps and FUSD’s own school descriptions. Attendance areas can change, and FUSD notes that students “may be placed outside their home school based on availability,” while immersion and magnet programs follow their own rules. Confirm your specific address with FUSD’s official school locator before relying on any school assignment. Bela Realty does not guarantee school placement.
ZIP 94539 carries the highest single-family median in Fremont at $2,400,000 across 249 closings in the last twelve months, against $1,420,000 in 94538 and $1,684,722 in 94536. Homes here are still clearing at 102.6% of asking price in a median of 13 days.
Two cautions worth holding at the same time. First, 94539 is a large ZIP that contains parts of three different high school attendance areas, so the ZIP median is not the Mission San Jose median. Second, the ZIP is down 2.1% year over year on the single-family median, so this is not a market where any price clears. Well-priced homes still sell quickly and mispriced ones sit.
If schools are the reason you are buying here, the attendance boundary matters more than the ZIP code, the subdivision name, or the listing description. Check the address.
Fremont sits between two job markets, and which one you work in changes which part of town suits you. The structural facts, not estimates:
Peak-hour driving times vary far too much to publish honestly. For an actual door-to-door estimate at the time you would travel, use 511.org, the Bay Area’s official transportation information service.
The Mission San Jose High attendance area is served by four elementary schools: Chadbourne, Gomes, Mission San Jose Elementary and Mission Valley. All four feed Hopkins Middle School, which feeds Mission San Jose High.
No. ZIP 94539 is larger than the Mission San Jose High attendance area and contains parts of the Irvington and Kennedy attendance areas as well. A 94539 address is not automatically a Mission San Jose schools address.
Across ZIP 94539, the single-family median was $2,400,000 over the twelve months to July 2026, on 249 closings, at a median of 13 days on market and 102.6% of asking price. That is a whole-ZIP figure, not a neighborhood figure.
Not at the moment. The 94539 single-family median is down 2.1% against the prior twelve months. Inventory is thin and well-priced homes still sell in under three weeks, so this is a low-volume, price-sensitive market rather than a weak one.
