Hampton Woods, a community on the peaceful outskirts
Hampton Woods is a small subdivision on the outskirts of Bakersfield, closer to places like Jim’s Honey Farm than the center of the city. The Calloway Canal cuts through this residential area, running south past several parks and the Links at Riverlakes Ranch Golf Course. The neighborhood also falls within a well-regarded school district. “It’s part of that general north Bakersfield sprawl,” says William Gordon, a Realtor with Watson Realty who has over two decades of experience in Bakersfield. “In the last ten years, it's filled out nicely with more commercial development. Everything is right around the corner.”
Mediterranean homes with in-ground pools
Hampton Woods has one-story single-family homes from the early 2000s priced between $350,000 and $600,000, depending on size and renovations. Bakersfield’s relative affordability compared to other California communities made it a popular place to buy during and after COVID-19, says Angel Przybylski, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Preferred who's been selling homes in the area for seven years. Pools are also popular, as the heat can reach triple digits. Some properties have Mediterranean features like stucco exteriors and tile roofs, and the neighborhood has walkable, paved sidewalks and wide roads with enough space for street parking. Neighbors get to know each other; "Bakersfield is really the biggest 'little small town' you could ever live in," says Przybylski. "Places like this, you get to know the community. Kids in the neighborhood are on the same sports teams, and you talk to your neighbors."

The RiverLakes Galleria is a shopping center about a mile away that includes a Walmart and PetSmart. The center also houses Kamisama Ramen, an Asian eatery, and Mesa’s Mexican Grill.
Air pollution in Bakersfield
Bakersfield’s air quality is polluted because of its geography; it’s positioned in a valley near the mountains, which traps polluted air. Because it’s a heavy farming area, dust tends to get trapped in the air, and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has programs like Park and Ride to encourage developers to build commuter lots and decrease vehicle usage.
