Haggin Oaks
Suburban Neighborhood in Bakersfield, California
Kern County 93311
Architecture with Mediterranean influence
Contemporary and expansive ranch-style homes have Mediterranean influences with tile roofs and turret rooms. With features like this on an impressive scale, homes in Haggin Oaks reference classical architecture from an ancient era of Europe. “Resort-style living is trending throughout the region, so a lot of these communities have gyms, pools, hiking trails and even an activity center,” says Gary Carruesco, a Realtor at Brimhall Realty. Home prices begin around $350,000 and reach up to $1 million. Contemporary homes cost between $380,000 and $740,000. Ranch-style houses often have the exterior of a French-influenced farmhouse with low-hanging roofs, bulky chimneys and pointed towers. Prices range from $460,000 to $1 million, part of the difference being that ranch-style homes can double in size and price depending on their proximity to Haggin Oaks Park or The Marketplace. Haggin Oaks Villas is a gated community of ranch-style homes. Prices range from $380,000 to $590,000. In gated communities like Parkside Townhomes, prices fall between $250,000 and $290,000, while condos cost around $260,000 to $280,000.

Italian street art and other local events
During the Via Arte festival in October, high school students and professional artists from the region gather to create lifelike chalk portraits of characters from fables, comic books and cartoons. Artists draw their murals onto The Marketplace parking lot and can win awards. "Up-and-coming artists draw their art on the pavement in the parking lot, and during the summer, there's music and dancing." The Haggin Oaks Farmers Market provides fresh produce on Sunday mornings at the Kaiser-Permanente medical offices. Concerts by the Fountain is a summer concert series on Thursday evenings in July and August, with local groups of varying genres performing shows at The Marketplace.Route 58 and GET bus stops
Haggin Oaks is a car-dependent neighborhood bordered by two main arteries: Ming Avenue and Gosford Road, both lined with Golden Empire Transit (GET) bus stops. State Route 58 heads into downtown Bakersfield, about 7 miles northeast, and state Route 99 goes from downtown to Interstate 5. Los Angeles is about 113 miles south. Meadows Field Airport offers short passenger flights to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for worldwide travel.

Dinner and shopping at the Marketplace
The Marketplace is a premier shopping center in Bakersfield, with 47 retailers. Red-tile walkways lead to markets, jewelry stores, boutiques and a Regal movie theater. Chef's Choice is a noodle bar with Japanese and Thai dishes in a simple dining space with botanical-themed art. Lengthwise is a brewery with pub food in a dark, industrial interior lit up by chandeliers made from upside-down paint buckets. Vons is a central supermarket on Ming Avenue, while Albertsons is on the Stockdale Highway.Bakersfield's air quality
Kern County produces a significant portion of the country's oil and petroleum through drilling and is commonly known as the "energy capital of California." As a result, Bakersfield struggles with high air pollution. However, new initiatives are in place to improve the city's air quality. "I've been here for 30 years, and it's gotten much better. Mostly, it's pollution funneling down into the Bakersfield valley, but the rain clears it up quickly. I don't notice it much anymore," says Bart Tipton, a Broker at Prestige Properties with 13 years of experience in the area.
