Meadow View Houses for Sale

Meadow View, situated in the northern part of Oildale, Bakersfield, features newer homes and proximity to some of Bakersfield’s newest industries. The neighborhood primarily consists of Craftsman and tri-level single-family homes from the mid-2000s, with close-together lots, private driveways, and multicar garages. Meadow View lacks city services, so residents rely on septic tanks and are served by the Kern County Fire Department and Sheriff’s Office. The area is shaded by a mix of oak and palm trees, adding to its suburban charm. Despite the absence of parks within Meadow View, North Meadows Park and North Highlands Park are nearby, offering basketball courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, and green spaces for outdoor activities. For shopping, residents visit Walmart Neighborhood Market, and dining options include Highland Pizza & Pub, which features a full bar, pool tables, and a jukebox, and Sugar Mill diner, known for its classic American fare. Meadow View is a 5-mile drive from downtown Bakersfield and less than 2 miles from Meadows Field Airport. The neighborhood experiences extreme summer heat, with temperatures regularly reaching 100 degrees, and poor air quality due to local agricultural and oil industries. While oil employment has declined statewide, Kern County remains a significant oil producer. Meadow View’s location near new industrial developments, such as Amazon and FedEx centers, provides job opportunities for residents.
