Agricultural town near Tehachapi
At the base of the Tehachapi Mountain range, residents in Arvin enjoy mountain vistas from three different directions. And the cost of living in this town 20 miles southeast of Bakersfield is more than 55% lower than the state average. Big names like Grimmway carrots, Gold Ribbon potatoes and Di Giorgio grapes originate in Arvin, which help to maintain the area’s agricultural- and industrial-based economy. “You pass field after field as you drive through the area. And when the orchards bloom, especially the almond orchards, Arvin transforms into a picturesque small town,” says Jose Torres, a Realtor at RE/MAX Golden Empire with 5 years of experience in the area. While it’s the nation’s leading distributor of fresh produce, the pesticides from these farm fields—as well as the downwind location from a large oil refinery—pollution in Arvin is among the highest in the country.
Bungalows and Paradise Lakes Estates
Sidewalks line Arvin’s residential streets, where street parking is common. Many homes are fenced in from the front yard to the back yard.
