Modern homes and duplexes
There are a variety of housing styles in Mead View, however, the majority of properties are Craftsman or tri-level single-family homes from the mid-2000s. “It’s definitely a newer area of Oildale,” says Sellers. “Most homes a couple of miles south of here are at least 50 years older.” These houses typically sit on close-together lots and feature private driveways and multicar garages. A mix of oak and palm trees shade the yards of these properties which cost between $335,000 and $550,000. Duplexes cost between $440,000 and $475,000, while multi-unit investment properties cost between $815,000 and $850,000. There are also apartment complexes in the neighborhood, as over 50% of Meadow View’s population is made of renters.

Besides pizza, patrons can expect bar classics like burgers, wings and fries. Sugar Mill is a diner serving classics like biscuits and gravy and patty melts. The restaurant has an authentic feel with swirling barstools placed at the diner’s counter.Fun at North Meadows Park

Locals shoot hoops on the eight outdoor basketball courts, while kids can explore two playgrounds. There’s plenty of green space for picnics and a walking path.

Quick access to Meadows Field Airport
Residents are just a 5-mile drive down North Chester Avenue from downtown Bakersfield, and Meadows Field Airport is less than 2 miles west on Merle Haggard Drive. Near the airport are an Amazon fulfillment center and a FedEx center, both of which opened in 2020.Air and heat issues
Like all residents near Bakersfield, Meadow View residents will have to deal with extreme heat in the summer, with temperatures regularly reaching 100 degrees. In addition, Bakersfield suffers from poor air quality due to its agricultural and oil industries. While oil employment has declined statewide, Kern County is still the 13th-highest oil-producing county in the nation, producing 72% of the oil from California.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
