Housing options near Downtown Bakersfield
Homaker Park offers residents several housing options just northeast of Downtown Bakersfield. “There’s a great mobile home park for adults and some condos to the east, but there’s not a lot of single-family homes,” says Judy Miller, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker who has been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. “You’re just north of the Memorial Hospital and close to plenty of shopping and dining.” With a central location, the community offers residents easy access to local amenities and nearby greenspaces along the Kern River.
