How Much Home $800K Buys in Fremont vs. Manteca

By Raymus Homes Staff - 9-1-2025

If you’re house hunting in Fremont with a budget of $800,000, your options may feel limited. But just an hour away in Manteca, that same budget opens up a completely different world of possibilities. At Raymus Homes, we specialize in building new homes that maximize value for families — and the comparison speaks for itself.

Fremont: $800K Buys You a Condo

In Fremont, $800,000 typically gets you:

  • A 2-bedroom condo or small townhouse
  • Limited square footage (under 1,000 sq. ft. is common)
  • Shared walls, HOA fees, and minimal outdoor space
  • Older buildings with little to no recent upgrades

For many families, that price point in Fremont feels like a compromise.

Manteca: $800K Buys You a Spacious Raymus Home

In Manteca, the same budget often means:

  • A 4–5 bedroom, 2,000–3,000 sq. ft. Raymus-built single-family home
  • Private backyard and 2–3 car garage
  • Modern open floor plans, energy-efficient features, and smart-home upgrades
  • Communities planned by Raymus Homes with parks, trails, and family-friendly amenities

Lifestyle Differences

While Fremont offers proximity to jobs and established urban infrastructure, Manteca offers breathing room, a suburban lifestyle, and a stronger sense of community. Families who choose Raymus Homes in Manteca consistently tell us they can finally enjoy family dinners, backyard barbecues, and a true sense of neighborhood — without feeling squeezed into a condo.

When you compare Fremont vs. Manteca, the difference is clear: in Manteca, $800K buys not just a house, but a Raymus Home — built with care, designed for family living, and rooted in a community you’ll be proud to call home.
