About Bakersfield
With its big city conveniences and advantages, Bakersfield still manages to maintain an atmosphere of small town hospitality, compassion and optimism. Bakersfield offers something for everyone--from the old west to dynamic new architecture... historic animal fossils to exotic dining... country music to hip hop... quaint antique shows to indoor malls. No matter what you prefer, Bakersfield is the place to find it.
Owning a home is part of the American dream, but for many Californian's that dream is out of reach. Not for residents of Kern County since the area has the distinction of being one of the most affordable housing markets in California with a median home price of $261,000 (according to the Kern Economic Journal, 2007 Second Quarter).
Bakersfield's central proximity to the mountains, coast, Los Angeles and San Francisco, plus convenient access to a network of highways, rail and air services, make Bakersfield an ideal place to live, work and play.
