Newark Condos for Sale
Newark is a pleasant, well-established community in the heart of the Tri-Cities area — bordered by Fremont to the south and east, Union City to the north, and the San Francisco Bay to the west. The city has the leafy, tree-lined neighborhood character of a true hometown, with the location advantages of one of the most strategically connected cities in Alameda County. Condominiums in Newark offer buyers a more affordable entry into the South Bay real estate market — with resort-style communities, newer townhome construction, and gated neighborhoods that rival anything available in neighboring Fremont at comparable or lower price points. Whether you work in Silicon Valley, commute to Oakland via I-880, or cross the Dumbarton Bridge to Meta's Menlo Park campus and the Peninsula, a Newark condo puts you within easy reach of all of it.

Newark Condo Communities
Newpark Village — Resort-Style Living
Newpark Village is one of Newark's most recognized and sought-after condo communities — a resort-style development featuring multiple pools, tennis courts, and a clubhouse set among well-maintained landscaping. Units in Newpark Village are known for their soaring vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and generous private balconies with storage, and many have been updated with modern kitchens featuring granite countertops, maple cabinets, and stainless appliances. In-unit laundry, covered parking, and individual water heaters are standard. The community's quick freeway access and resort character make it a consistent favorite with buyers looking for amenity-rich condo living in the Tri-Cities area.
The Waterford — Garden Grounds & High Ceilings
The Waterford is a resort-style community tucked among lush garden grounds, with 2-bedroom, 2-bath units featuring high ceilings, cozy fireplaces, updated kitchens with granite countertops and stainless appliances, and private balconies. Units in quiet inner locations within the community offer a particularly peaceful setting, well-buffered from street noise. The Waterford's combination of finishes, setting, and South Newark location makes it a strong value in the Newark condo market.
Murieta — Gated & Pool-Facing
Murieta is a gated, resort-style community with a pool and well-maintained common areas. Ground-floor units facing the community pool offer a combination of natural light, outdoor access, and peaceful atmosphere that is rare in condominium living. Murieta attracts buyers who want gated security and a private community character in a convenient Newark location.
Newer Townhome-Style Condos — Cabrillo & Central Newark
Newark's newer condominium inventory — primarily built from 2010 onward — includes townhome-style condos with open-concept floor plans, central AC, tankless water heaters, two-car side-by-side garages, and private rear yards. These properties offer the livability of a single-family home with the lower-maintenance profile of condo ownership. Three-bedroom-plus-den configurations with en-suite bedrooms on multiple levels are available for buyers who need flexible space for multi-generational living, remote work, or extended family use. Prices for newer townhome-style condos in Newark typically range from $800,000 to over $1M for larger configurations.
Why Newark
Newark balances small-town character with genuine metropolitan access in a way that is increasingly rare in the Bay Area. The city has 15 parks and recreation facilities, including the Silliman Activity and Family Aquatic Center and Newark Community Center Park, which connects to the 12-mile Alameda Creek Trail. The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge — 30,000+ acres with 280 bird species — borders the western edge of the city, making Newark one of the few Bay Area communities where wildlife habitat is a literal next-door neighbor. Coyote Hills Regional Park provides hiking, biking, and equestrian trails just northwest of the city. And for everyday living, NewPark Mall and the surrounding commercial corridor on Newark Boulevard and Mowry Avenue provide retail, dining, and services without needing to drive to Fremont.
Pricing
Newark condo prices range from approximately $500,000 for smaller one-bedroom units to $1M+ for larger townhome-style condos with two-car garages and premium finishes. The median condo and townhome price in Newark is approximately $900,000 — meaningfully lower than comparable inventory in Fremont, and with the same South Bay commute access. For buyers priced out of Fremont condos or seeking more outdoor space and park access than Fremont's denser neighborhoods offer, Newark is consistently worth a close look.
Schools
Newark condos are served by Newark Unified School District, which is highly rated among Alameda County school districts. Ohlone College Newark Center offers associate degrees, professional certificates, and continuing education options within the city. The combination of strong K–12 schools and nearby community college access makes Newark particularly appealing for families at various life stages.
Commute & Location
Interstate 880 is the primary freeway corridor, connecting north to Oakland (approximately 25 miles) and south to Fremont and San Jose. The Dumbarton Bridge — Hwy 84 — provides the most direct Bay crossing in the South Bay, connecting Newark to Menlo Park, Meta headquarters, East Palo Alto, and the mid-Peninsula in approximately 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Fremont BART is the nearest rail connection, approximately 3–5 miles from most Newark neighborhoods, with service to Oakland and San Francisco. Ohlone College and Newark's own commercial corridor reduce how often residents need to leave the city for daily errands.
