A laid-back Bakersfield suburb
Fairway Oaks is a relaxed west Bakersfield suburb conveniently located at the intersection of the area’s most used thoroughfares. Highly rated public schools serve the area, and its homes are close to essential amenities and restaurants. “A lot of people choose the west side of Bakersfield because of the great schools and safe community atmosphere,” says Jose Torres, a local Realtor at RE/MAX Golden Empire. With a CAP index score of 2, the neighborhood experiences less crime than the average United States community. The Kern River flows through the southern part of the neighborhood, and on the south side of the river is the California State University, Bakersfield campus.
Mediterranean-style homes and palm trees
Sidewalks line the quiet residential streets of Fairway Oaks, where palm trees adorn manicured front lawns. Many homes have Mediterranean influences, seen in their tiled roofs and arched entryways, and short driveways lead to two-car attached garages. With an average home price of $485,000, houses here are pricier than the average Bakersfield home. Three-bedroom homes with 1,500 to 1,800 square feet hit the market between $300,000 and $450,000. On the market’s higher end, multi-story four-bedroom homes with over 3,000 square feet are listed at $825,000. “Homebuyers are realizing that they can get a much larger property with more yard space in West Bakersfield for the same price they are paying along the L.A. Basin,” says Torres, referring to the nearby South California region. Yards are small, and homes sit close together, but fenced-in back yards provide neighbors with a degree of privacy.
