Living near Kern Medical Hospital
East Bakersfield is a place where the city’s old influences and new industries collide. According to William Gordon of the Gordon team, who has over 15 years of experience in the area, the area was reliant for a long time on oil and agriculture. “We were always searching for that third leg of the barstool to sustain the economy, and we found that in the medical industry,” says Gordon. Today, East Bakersfield is home to Kern Medical Hospital, a 22-bed acute care teaching facility and the only trauma care center between Los Angeles and Fresno.
Italian, Basque and Mexican dining
Locals head to the southwest corner of the neighborhood for a variety of dining options, including Luigi's, a Bakersfield institution since 1910. “For me, Luigi’s doesn’t just have one of the best lunch scenes in Bakersfield, but one of the best in the state,” Gordon says. Regulars greet one another by name and sit at the bar under black-and-white photos showing Bakersfield’s history or grab a table on the back patio and eat Italian classics at the 114-year-old restaurant, which has a neighboring shop featuring imported Italian wine, meats and cheeses. Besides Luigi’s, East Bakersfield also has a selection of Basque restaurants. “The Basque scene is awesome if you like comfort food, and I’d say Wool Growers does the family style the best,” says Gordon. “You pick an entrée like oxtail or fried chicken and then everyone shares these huge salads, pastas and plates of fries. It feels like eating at home.” Super Taco offers Mexican comfort food like large tortas and smothered burritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Residents grab groceries at Vallarta Supermarkets, while Walmart, Albertsons and other big box stores are just east of the neighborhood along Highway 178.

Completely remodeled homes are in the $300,000 to $410,000 price range. “It’s budget-friendly and offers the opportunity for first-time buyers,” says Gordon.

Revitalized Heritage Park
The city of Bakersfield has made efforts to improve the infrastructure in East Bakersfield, including a $4.2 million project to revitalize Heritage Park. The park reopened in October 2024 after major improvements to its skate park. Sixty-eight new trees were also planted, shade structures were upgraded and new playgrounds were installed. Locals visit Jefferson Park to cool off in the summer; the park offers a splash pad, a community pool and covered picnic areas. Tennis and basketball players can play after dark on the lighted courts. Just to the west of the neighborhood is Mechanics Bank Arena, home to the Bakersfield Condors, of the American Hockey League. The arena also hosts concerts and plays. East Bakersfield’s unhoused population can be seen at some of the local recreation areas. “During COVID a lot of people moved here and we’re a small town that just doesn’t have the room right now,” says Eric Van Denk of Central Valley Property Advisors, who has five years of experience in Bakersfield. “Most settled in the Central East Bakersfield area.” The Open Door Network has secured a $9 million grant to open a new shelter in East Bakersfield.
Local children enjoy the play equipment at Heritage Park.

High crime and low air quality
East Bakersfield has an 8 out of 10 CAP Index crime score compared to the national figure of 4. The neighborhood has high scores in violent crime, but locals believe that may come down soon. “The city has put a lot of emphasis on hiring more police officers and cleaning up areas of downtown,” says Van Denk. Like much of Bakersfield, East Bakersfield experiences extreme heat during the summer with average temperatures reaching near 100 degrees. The air quality is also poor because of the city’s valley location and agricultural and oil industries.

For drivers, Highway 178 crosses the neighborhood, providing quick access to downtown, while Interstate 5 allows for a 113-mile drive south to Los Angeles.
