Bakersfield neighborhood with low crime
Sitting 7 miles west of downtown Bakersfield, Madison Grove is a quiet community of 21st-century homes near a solid school district. “The western side of town has become desirable because it’s all new development,” says Samantha Sellers of Infinity Real Estate Services, who has over five years of experience in the area. “It’s not just the homes either -- as the area grows, they continue to put new grocery stores, gyms and shops out there.” Almost all neighbors – 86% -- own their homes instead of renting, and the neighborhood has a CAP Crime index score of 2 out of 10, lower than the national figure of 4 and much lower than many Bakersfield neighborhoods to the east.
Homes from the mid 2000s
Houses in Madison Grove are a mix of ranch-style Craftsman builds and multistory Mediterranean homes. Stucco facades and Spanish tile roofs are popular architectural touches in the neighborhood; prices range between $365,000 and $590,000 depending on the size and age of the home. “It’s a higher price than most of Bakersfield, but the homes are also much newer and nicer,” says Sellers. Homes near Olive Drive may experience some noise because of traffic, but most houses sit on quiet roads ending in cul-de-sacs. Homes sit on close-together lots and have sizeable front yards with large oak and palm trees. Multicar garages and paved driveways lead to wide sidewalks, and many homes have solar panels on the roofs and private backyard pools.

Driving down Olive Drive
There is no public transportation in the neighborhood, so locals will need a car to commute. Residents can hop on Olive Drive to drive 7 miles to downtown Bakersfield or 8 miles northeast to Meadows Field Airport. As is the case with most Bakersfield neighborhoods, Madison Grove has poor air quality because of the city’s agricultural and oil industries.
