Artisan Homes for Sale

Artisan is a suburban community transitioning from an agricultural outskirt of Bakersfield to a residential enclave. The neighborhood features homes with Mediterranean elements, like arched corridors and flat-tiled roofs. On Cactus Valley Drive, one-story Craftsman-style homes are tightly packed on quarter-acre lots with flat, green lawns, while New Traditional homes built in the early 2000s with two-car garages and fenced-in backyards line Grand Prairie Drive. Greystone Park, a central green space, offers a splash pad, a half-court basketball court and a shaded playground. Tradewinds Park provides beach volleyball and horseshoe pits nearby. Artisan is served by the Panama-Buena Vista Union and Kern High school districts, with highly rated schools like Warren Junior High School and Independence High School. Artisan is car-dependent but somewhat bikeable, and the Golden Empire Transit District provides public transportation in the Bakersfield area. Shopping and dining options are abundant, with various stores and eateries at Old River Ranch and Gosford Village, including Pizz-a-Perfection and Ten Gu Ramen. For entertainment, residents can visit The Empty Space community theater or the Doré Theatre at California State University. The Bakersfield Amtrak station and Interstate 5 provide convenient travel options, and Los Angeles is about 113 miles south.
