Bakersfield Country Club
Custom-built estates and single-story homes
Residential streets wind around the Bakersfield Country Club, leading to an eclectic collection of homes ranging from custom estates to mid-century ranch-style homes. “What really separates this area from the rest of the east side are the houses,” says Adam Belter, an Associate Broker with the Belter Group at Coldwell Banker who has been selling homes in the area for over 13 years. Around the 18-hole championship golf course, stately homes sit on sprawling estates with up to half an acre of land. On the same hilltop street as the esteemed Ablin-Frank Lloyd Wright House, four-bedroom custom-built estates with private balconies, in-ground pools and views of the Tehachapi Mountains start at around $535,000. Further south around the base of the hills, three-bedroom ranch-style homes sit on modest lots, with prices ranging from about $245,000 to $365,000.

Public and private school options in Bakersfield
Children in the area fall into one of two feeder patterns in the Bakersfield City School District, depending on their location. Students living on the neighborhood’s north side begin their education at Harding Elementary School, which earned a C-plus from Niche, before moving on to Compton Junior High School, which earned a grade of C-minus. Teens attend the nearby East Bakersfield High School, which earned a B-minus from Niche and offers a Gifted and Talented Education Program. Private school options include Garces Memorial High School and the Bakersfield Adventist Academy, which serves grades K-12 and earned a B-plus from Niche.

Prestigious country club and nearby park
The community is anchored by the Bakersfield Country Club, which is one of the few naturally hilly golf courses in the city. In addition to the clubhouse and 18-hole golf course, members enjoy access to a fitness facility, outdoor pool and four lighted tennis courts. For a change of scenery, reciprocal memberships are honored at the city’s other two country clubs – Stockdale and Seven Oaks – so locals can take a break from the familiar course and tee up on the other side of town. Residents are also about 2 miles from Heritage Park, which has a basketball court, a skatepark and a playground for kids to explore.
Access to big-box shops and local restaurants
While there are no retail options in the Bakersfield Country Club area, residents are minutes from the East Hill Promenade. The shopping center is located just northwest of the community and has a Target, Walmart and Home Depot. For groceries or a bite to eat, locals can head south to Niles Street. This commercial strip includes casual restaurants such as Rusty’s Pizza Parlor, Mexican restaurants such as La Fonda Taqueria Y Mariscos and bars such as Stella’s Sandtrap. For the necessities, Niles Plaza includes a Vallarta Supermarkets and FoodMaxx.
Proximity to Downtown Bakersfield
The Bakersfield Country Club is about 6 miles east of Downtown Bakersfield. State Route 178 connects the neighborhood to the city center, and residents can also hop on Route 45 of the Golden Empire Transit Bus, which makes several stops along Niles Street and travels to downtown and beyond. For longer trips, the Meadow Field Airport is about 12 miles away.
Festivities at the country club
The Bakersfield Country Club hosts a variety of social events for members, including weekly Sunday brunches and seasonal dinners. Popular festivities include the Harvest Festival, which celebrates the beginning of fall with pumpkin carving, a scavenger hunt and a seasonal menu.Nearby hospital and poor air quality
Residents are less than 2 miles from the Kern Medical Hospital, which boasts the only Level II Trauma Center in the area. Due to the geography of the Central Valley and the prevalence of industries such as agriculture and petroleum, Bakersfield has historically suffered from high levels of pollution and poor air quality. In the 2023 State of the Air report, the American Lung Association declared Bakersfield as the city with the worst year-round particle pollution.
