The Fremont Building

Pros: The rooms are large and the storage is great, there is even bike storage in the trash room. The location is great, an easy walk to restaurants and the park that seems to have something going every weekend.
Cons: The lighting (brass) and kitchen & bathroom counters (white laminate) are stuck in the 1980’s and could use a refresh. The hall carpet is stained and several people don’t know the laws about no smoking OF ANY KIND in apartment buildings so the halls stink often.

I had about one month to research, find and plan a move from 1,600 miles away and when I found The Fremont Building, I knew it would be perfect. Amanda, who runs the Leasing Office, was the most patient, helpful and courteous leasing agent I have worked with yet. I move a lot for my job and people who are respectful in getting back to you quickly and being as thorough as possible are few and far between. This move by far was made easier with Amanda’s help.
The apartment itself has been wonderful so far and I feel very safe and secure. Great finishing details, real paint on the walls (not just primer), all full size appliances, clean and updated kitchen and bathroom and gated parking. Fantastic walkability to bars and restaurants as well as other services like a market and dry cleaning.
As far as moving and getting yourself situated with an apartment site unseen, you can’t do any better than the Fremont Building. The only reason I am giving a 4 star rating instead of a 5 at this point is because I’ve only lived here a short time, but, I am impressed enough to write a very favorable review.

Having lived in the building for almost two years, I definitely feel like it’s time to write a Unilocal review. I moved across the country, and rented my apartment site-​unseen. I called several buildings in Midtown, and Liz at The Fremont Building was the only person who called me back. I had two weeks to orchestrate a move and get myself out here, and Liz and Amber made it so easy.
Now that I’ve been here for almost two years, I can honestly say that there is nowhere else in Midtown that I would rather be. It’s a friendly building full of young professionals. Having management and maintenance on-​site is so nice. The neighbors are friendly, and living above a bevy of restaurants is so convenient. My dogs definitely appreciate the dog treats in the lobby and the park across the street.
Another reviewer mentioned «homeless people». You definitely see homeless people in the neighborhood, but you are living in a city. I’ve also seen people complain about the noise at night, but you’re living in a city. If you want a large lawn, in a large house, totally removed from any noise or «homeless people», then this is not the place for you. If that’s what you’re looking for, Sacramento offers plenty of suburbs. Check out Elk Grove.
If you’re looking for a friendly building with engaged management in an active urban setting, then you can’t do much better than The Fremont Building.

Lived here at the Fremont for a couple of months now and i’m pretty pleased.
The location in general is great, although if you stray too far towards the train tracks it gets a little dodgier. What we like is that It’s a short walk to work for my husband (near the capitol), and also a pretty good location for having two little ones. (Caveat– we just moved to here from NY, so don’t have too much to compare in Sac).
The park is just across the street and has an okay playground. I was a little surprised by the number of homeless around the park (and actually the city in general) but it doesn’t seem to be a nuisance.
The park has a farmer’s market every tuesday and some weekend events once in a while which is fun for the kiddos.
Starbucks downstairs is great.
Safeway is walking distance.
Art Beast and Kindermusik for the kids are walking distance.
Building management is friendly and involves residents in games for prizes, etc., and often times leaves out a basket of goodies at the lobby to take from.
The maintenance man here is also great.
Neighbors seem nice. Apparently kevin martin used to live in this building which my husband was excited about.
My only real criticism is that our unit faces 16^th street which gets quite busy and noisy, with various trucks, sirens, bikers and loud mufflers, and also on thurs/​fri/​sat nights, the drunkards. It does help to shut the windows, but that gets a little inconvenient, and noise is unpredictable so unless your windows are always shut, you are going to be exposed to some of this annoying noise. Also, with all of this constant traffic, our window sills get a little dark/​dirty from the pollution.
Despite this, for a temporary place to stay before transitioning to a more permanent place for the family, I can’t complain about much else. We are still getting to know Sacramento, but so far the Fremont has been good!

Love the Fremont! It’s def one of the cheapest of the nice buildings in midtown.
Lows: if you’re looking for nice amenities like a pool or a gym, this isn’t the place for you. Or if you’re looking for low turnover at the front desk– again, not the place for you.
Highs: Pretty solid management and a great maintenance man. Quiet neighbors. Decent rent. Rad food downstairs and a short walk to great locations on the grid.
