Fox Run
Suburban Neighborhood in Bakersfield, California
Kern County 93312
New traditional homes with manicured lawns
Fox Run’s early-2000s new traditional homes sit close together around sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs, where basketball hoops are set up in the street. “The majority of the streets here terminate in cul-de-sacs,” Gordon says. “It’s designed so that traffic doesn’t pass through, so it’s very walkable, and kids can ride their bikes here.” Front yards typically feature manicured lawns, topiaries and palm trees, while backyards are just roomy enough for an in-ground pool. Most houses are single-level and have Mediterranean elements like clay-tiled roofs and stucco exteriors, and some also include Craftsman details like trussed gables and front porches. Layouts can range from 1,400 to 3,200 square feet. Prices, which range from around $350,000 to $600,000, vary based on size and renovations.

Sports leagues at Polo Park
Polo Park has 40 acres of sports fields that host youth sports leagues and recreational leagues for adults. Its playground is a hit with kids, and the splash pad draws crowds on hot summer days. The 12-acre Almondale Park nearby offers more green space, a playground and shaded picnic areas. At The Links at RiverLakes Ranch, a public golf course, kids can join The Junior Golf Academy to learn how to play and compete in tournaments. Movie buffs can kick back in the recliners at Studio Movie Grill, which screens all the latest movies.

Dual enrollment at Frontier High
Local kids can start school at Patriot Elementary, which earns a B from Niche, and then attend the A-minus-rated Freedom Middle. At the B-plus-rated Frontier High, students can take dual enrollment courses through Bakersfield College and California State University, Bakersfield, all without leaving campus. They can also join over 40 student clubs, including the Phrontier Photo Club, the Floral Club and the Rodeo Club.

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. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
