Oildale Homes for Rent

Oildale, located north of downtown Bakersfield across the Kern River, is a neighborhood characterized by its proximity to the expansive Kern River Oil Field. The area offers a range of housing options, from private mobile home communities to newer homes and compact bungalows, making it appealing for investors and first-time homebuyers. Community programs like Church Without Walls work to support residents. The neighborhood features practical amenities such as the Dulai Mini Mart and Walmart Neighborhood Market for grocery needs, and dining options like Cataldo’s Pizzeria and The Sugar Mill. Public transportation is accessible with Golden Empire Transit District bus routes 22 and 43 running through the area. For recreation, Riverview Park provides over 20 acres of picnic spots, playgrounds, and basketball courts, while North Beardsley Park offers a skatepark and softball fields. The Bakersfield Speedway adds a touch of excitement with races from March to November. However, potential residents should be aware of the air quality issues cited by the American Lung Association and occasional petroleum smells due to nearby oil facilities.
