Newark, plainly read.
Newark is small (under 50,000 residents) and easy to miss. It's sandwiched between Fremont and the Dumbarton Bridge. And that geography is the entire investment thesis. Commute access to both Silicon Valley and the Peninsula at rents 25-30% below either.
Owners who recognized the math here in 2020-2022 are doing well; the broader rental market hasn't fully caught up to the underlying value.
What's actually happening in Newark.
Lakeshore Park's lakefront properties command a persistent 10-15% premium and almost never sit vacant. Newark Centre's mixed-use redevelopment over the past five years has lifted the entire submarket, particularly for downtown-adjacent inventory. Q1 2026 growth was a moderate 3.2%.
4 Newark neighborhoods we manage.
Four named neighborhoods, distinguished mostly by water access and downtown proximity. Lakeshore Park anchors the high end with lake frontage; Newark Centre is the redevelopment story.

Why we work Newark.
Newark works as part of our broader Alameda County coverage. The volume here is modest. We won't grow it significantly. But the four doors we manage have produced reliable returns and strong owner satisfaction over their tenure with us.
Newark rent rules & ordinance.
AB 1482 state cap; no local rent control. I track the effective rent cap per property and apply it at renewal. That includes the required tenant notices, deposit handling under California Civil Code §1950.5, and any local timing requirements that apply.
