Developing Southeast Bakersfield
Two miles southeast of downtown Bakersfield, Lakeview is a neighborhood looking to the future. “The city is doing a lot of street renovations and beautification projects here,” says Autumn Mitchell of Tobias Real Estate, who has half a decade of experience in the area. One project is the renovation of Martin Luther King Junior Park at the neighborhood’s north end. According to the City of Bakersfield’s Recreation and Parks Department, the park will not only have new features but expand to include property previously owned by Kern County. The project is part of a $22.1 million plan to revitalize Southeast Bakersfield and a 15-year plan to revamp all the parks in Bakersfield.
Renovations to Martin Luther King Junior Park
When re-opened, Martin Luther King Jr. Park will feature shaded basketball, futsal and pickleball courts. Kids can cool off on a splash pad and there are plans for an amphitheater for local performances. In the interim, locals can go a few blocks east to Virginia Avenue Community Park to shoot hoops. The park also has a playground for kids and open green space. Lowell Park to the west has shaded picnic areas and open green space for soccer.

Single-family ranch-style homes
Single-family home prices in Lakeview range from $60,000 for one-bedroom renovation-ready homes to $300,000 for larger, remodeled homes. “It’s a good price point for first-time buyers, which is great because the more people living here that own their homes, the more the pride in caring for that home spreads,” Van Denk says. Most houses are midcentury ranch-style Craftsman homes with private driveways. Yards have a mix of dirt and grass landscaping and most are enclosed by chain link or iron fences. There are a few duplexes priced between $200,000 and $500,000 and four-unit properties costing between $700,000 and $750,000.
