Condos for Sale in Parkview Estates, Bakersfield

Parkview Estates, located in the northern end of Oildale, a suburb of Bakersfield, has transformed from its oil field roots to a neighborhood near logistics plants that boost the local economy. The area features twenty-first-century homes, primarily Craftsman ranch-style with stucco facades and tile roofs, alongside some contemporary Tudor and two-story symmetrical houses. These homes, mostly built in the early 2000s, are situated on quiet residential roads with multicar garages, private driveways, and well-lit sidewalks. North Meadows Park offers two playgrounds, basketball courts, and a paved walking path, while North Highlands Park includes soccer fields, a baseball diamond, and shaded picnic areas. Just a couple of miles north, Bakersfield Speedway attracts racing fans with its dirt track and paved races. Although Parkview Estates lacks shopping and dining options within its boundaries, North Chester Avenue, less than 2 miles away, provides various choices, including Sugar Mill diner and Smitty’s Smokin Brisket & BBQ. Groceries can be found at the nearby Walmart Supercenter. The neighborhood is served by Highland Elementary School, Standard Middle School, and North High School, with the latter offering Agricultural Business classes. Residents can easily access downtown Bakersfield, 5 miles south, or Meadows Field Airport, less than 2 miles west. While the area is safer than the national average, residents must contend with poor air quality and extreme summer heat due to the city's agricultural and oil industries.
