East Bay Date of Death Appraiser › Fremont Date of Death Appraisal › Lakes and Birds
The Lakes and Birds neighborhoods are located in northwest Fremont, with the Lakes generally north of Alvarado Boulevard and the Birds generally south of Alvarado Boulevard. These areas include planned development influence along with R-1, R-1-6, and R-1-10 zoning in certain sections.
The Lakes area includes some duet-style homes that can be easy to misread if the property type is not recognized early. These homes may not compete the same way as typical detached single-family homes or more conventional attached housing.
The Birds area includes railroad influence in some locations. Railroad proximity may require careful analysis because buyer reaction can vary depending on distance, noise, crossing patterns, lot orientation, and whether the property backs directly to the rail corridor.
The Lakes and Birds neighborhoods include planned development areas and conventional residential zoning patterns. Appraisal analysis should consider whether the subject property competes as a standard detached home, duet-style home, attached housing, or planned development property.
In Lakes and Birds, the best comparable sale is not always the closest sale. Duet-style design, planned development influence, railroad proximity, property type, zoning, and neighborhood position may affect whether nearby sales reflect the same buyer pool.
