Southwest Bakersfield suburb near restaurants and shopping
In the heart of southwest Bakersfield, Laurelglen is a lushly landscaped suburb near popular shops, restaurants and California State University, Bakersfield. “It has easy access to everything that part of town has to offer at an affordable price,” says William Gordon, who’s sold homes here since 2007 and is the team lead of the Gordon Team at Watson Realty. “It really is a very diverse neighborhood, with a wide variety of different types of residences, from single-family homes to little gated portions with condos.” The Marketplace’s retailers are nearby, as are several grocery stores and beloved local restaurants like Salty’s BBQ & Catering. Still, the neighborhood maintains a sense of peace. “The streets here are laid out so that there are no through streets,” Gordon says. “It’s designed to make it inconvenient to drive through it as a shortcut. There are lots of cul-de-sacs and it’s very private.” Both the Westside Parkway and the Golden State Highway are 4 miles away, making it easy to access the rest of the city.
Contemporary 1980s homes on quarter-acre lots
Most single-family homes in Laurelglen sit on quarter-acre lots with manicured front lawns, plus backyard pools for cooling off during the hot Bakersfield summers. “Laurelglen has many different home builders, large lots and mature landscaping, so the homes each look different,” says Kyle Wigley, who’s sold homes here since 2006 and is the owner of Premier Home Advisors. Homes here were all built in the early 1980s, and many have that era's recessed entrances and gable windows. “They're well-built homes, and a lot of the original character remains," Gordon says. "If the homes have been well maintained, they’re great.” Single-level ranch-style homes are common here, though there are some two-story models, as well; layouts range between 1,000 and 2,800 square feet. Though size can affect prices, which typically range from $300,000 to $550,000, homes that have been recently remodeled tend to have higher prices. Two- and three-bedroom townhouse-style condos can cost between $250,000 to $350,000, depending on updates, plus monthly homeowners association fees between $100 and $400 that cover shared amenities like a community pool. There are also low-rise apartment complexes throughout the neighborhood.
Many homes in Laurelglen have attached garages and driveways.
Most all of the homes in Laurelglen have room to install a swimming pool.

Oak-grilled tri-tip at Salty’s BBQ & Catering
There are several popular local restaurants just south. Oak-grilled tri-tip and pulled pork are on the menu at Salty’s BBQ & Catering, which Gordon calls “a big deal.” The restaurant was featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” and dinner here is served at an outdoor picnic table or inside a train car. Gordon also recommends Bangkok Street Food and says, “It’s the best Thai food in town.” Sorella Ristorante Italiano has been the neighborhood go-to for Italian comfort food since the late '90s. The nearby Marketplace shopping center has fashion retailers like Talbots and White House Black Market; big-box stores like The Home Depot are to the south. Area grocery stores include Asia Market, Albertsons and Trader Joe’s.

The annual Via Arté Italian Street Painting Festival

Ranked No. 1 for air pollution
The American Lung Association’s 2025 State of the Air report ranked Bakersfield as having the highest annual particle air pollution in the United States; the city has taken the top spot each year since 2020. Pollution is created by the area's oil refineries, agriculture and traffic, and Bakersfield's location in the San Joaquin Valley causes air pollution to become stuck over the city. The IQAir AirVisual app can help residents monitor daily air quality.
