Centrally located northwest Bakersfield suburb
Located 5 miles from downtown Bakersfield, Calloway Country is a centrally located suburb where most of the homes are part of the RiverLakes Ranch Master Association; members have access to a nearby private lake, a clubhouse and community pool. “It’s great for young families, with close proximity to schools, shopping and dining, and it’s relatively walkable,” says William Gordon, who’s sold homes here since 2007 and is the team lead of the Gordon Team at Watson Realty. “The homes are relatively small and modestly priced to fit most people’s budgets.” The Northwest Promenade shopping center is in the neighborhood, and Rosedale Highway is right nearby, making for a straightforward commute to downtown.

The RiverLakes Ranch Community Center, attached to the park, has an indoor gym where locals can play basketball on hot days.

High levels of particle air pollution
According to the American Lung Association, Bakersfield ranks No. 1 in the United States for having the highest annual particle air pollution, largely due to the area’s geography; the surrounding mountains trap pollution from the Bay Area and nearby oil refineries over the city. Residents can monitor daily air quality on the local news and the IQAir AirVisual App.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data.
