The East Industrial District in Fremont, just like the adjoining suburbs of the city , was originally a barren, open space. Today, the industrial belt boasts of manufacturing units, information technology, construction companies, entertainment and hospitality, retail, education, healthcare, and the list goes on. With new home construction booming in Fremont, the area is filling up quickly with skilled labourers.

A good portion of the population, nearly 40%, belong to the white-collared section of society. But there is an interesting and cordial mix of ethnicities that makes the area a comfortable place to live.

Digging Into The History of Fremont’s East Industrial District

Over the last 5-10 years, there has been a marked, inward migration because of the massive industrial development. Millions of jobs were created as a result of the industrialization sector. Over the years, people have purchased homes and settled in comfortably, with a long term view in mind. As families settled into the East Industrial District of Fremont, the demand for quality education has also risen. You will find that some of the most prestigious schools, colleges and universities have sprung up in the district. Obviously, the next generation are looking forward to the jobs that will spring up in the area.

This does not mean that the region is not suitable for unskilled labor. There are jobs ranging from parking attendants to bellboys, ushers to ice-cream vendors, waiters to managers, and bank staff to CEOs. There is a job waiting for every kind of skilled or unskilled laborer in the East Industrial District. Migration of US citizens from other states, as well as people of other nations, has encouraged a boom in the real estate development as well.

What About Growth In The Area?

There has also been a quick growth in the construction of office buildings, multiplexes, shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment zones. Rapid growth has also been seen with IT parks, educational campuses, recreational facilities like gardens and parks, and many other necessities that people need in their everyday lives. Houses have sprung up very rapidly and construction of homes is still going on in the district. But despite this, the prices of homes are steep and not within the reach of middle income groups.

To meet the increasing demand for affordable homes, the city council has sanctioned housing development schemes on the outskirts of the main industrial zone. These homes are not very close to the center of the district, but are a lot cheaper, so that the migrants can have decent housing in the city where they work. The average time that people continuously live in the East Industrial District is about 15-20 years.

Where there are people living for longer periods of time, there will always be the need for good healthcare facilities. The state-of-the-art hospitals in the district have facilities that take care of most of the health issues of the locals in the suburb. Obviously, this requires the services of qualified doctors, nurses and other medical care related professionals to move into the East Industrial District.

Where there are industries, commercial establishments and homes, utilities will be in high demand. The roads have gas stations at convenient intervals all over the district to meet the needs of the population. Also, power generation, mobile services and telecommunication services have not only provided more jobs, but have also increased the need for suitable residential properties.

In Summary…

Once a barren land, where only intermittent farming tasks were being carried out, the East Industrial District has seen many major developments. Today, it is a hub of activities that cover all aspects of life in Fremont. Whatever the district’s residents need is always close by, and the jobs are plentiful, making it the perfect place to start a career and eventually, a family.
