I call Roseway a hidden gem as most people don't even know it exists. Enjoy all the benefits of Fremont shops and restaurants without the parking hassles and constant traffic, fresh donuts, a local movie theatre with the best popcorn popped fresh, little ice cream counter at the pharmacy, excellent restaurants to walk to-choice of grocery stores and branch library and then a tiny drive to airport, ikea, target, and bigger stores. Transit options are everywhere from the bus to the light rail-and the people are a healthy mix of ages and interests so although not defined a HIP neighborhood-you get a healthy mix of age diversity, ethnicities and backgrounds making for a very livable community.

It is a safe neighborhood. Although the parks are vulnerable to tagging and small petty crimes which is a shame. I also find that streets that connect to the safeway a bit challenging in that on recycling day-the inevitable shopping cart parade goes past.

People are nice and friendly and helpful-lots of yard gardens and sharing parks and rec run good summer programs.
