Niles is a historic district in northern Fremont, strung along Niles Boulevard beside Alameda Creek — known for its walkable, small-town main street.
About Niles
Niles has a colorful past: Charlie Chaplin filmed early movies at Essanay Studios here around 1915, a story preserved at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum. The district is also home to antique shops, the Niles Canyon Railway, and the popular Niles Flea Market.
Homes in Niles
The historic core features older bungalows and cottages, complemented by newer infill homes nearby. Architecturally, it is one of Fremont's most character-rich districts.
Getting Around
The Alameda Creek Trail runs right through the area for walking and biking, and Niles connects easily to Interstate 680 and the neighboring Centerville district.
