Housing options near Downtown Bakersfield
Homaker Park offers residents several housing options just northeast of Downtown Bakersfield. “There’s a great mobile home park for adults and some condos to the east, but there’s not a lot of single-family homes,” says Judy Miller, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker who has been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. “You’re just north of the Memorial Hospital and close to plenty of shopping and dining.” With a central location, the community offers residents easy access to local amenities and nearby greenspaces along the Kern River.

Bakersfield’s oil industry and environmental concerns
The Kern County Museum is less than a mile from residents and highlights the county’s history and development, including the thriving oil industry that exists today. Due in large part to the prevalence of oil wells, the city of Bakersfield has historically suffered from poor air quality and in the 2023 State of the Air report, the American Lung Association declared Bakersfield as the city with the worst year-round particle pollution.
