Living in Highland Knolls
On the edge of Oildale, named after the miles of oil fields to the east, Highland Knolls is a small residential community just 6 miles from downtown Bakersfield. “While Oildale is considered a suburb of Bakersfield, it’s really its own town,” says Autumn Mitchell, Realtor with Tobias Real Estate, who was born and raised in Kern County. “Highland Knolls is one of the last neighborhoods before endless oil fields, but these fields, along with the Meadows Field Airport, provide numerous job opportunities for the region,” Mitchell says.
