A varied residential community in northwest Bakersfield
With farmlands and open fields spanning for miles to the north and west and downtown Bakersfield a 15-minute drive to the east, Rosedale stands out compared to the cookie-cutter neighborhoods commonly found throughout the city. “One of the biggest benefits of the area is that it’s not a part of a master-planned community,” says William Gordan, a local Realtor with Watson Realty who has been in the Bakersfield real estate business since 2007. “Residents have more freedom to use their property to fit their needs.”

Farmland, orchards and single-family homes
While the community’s average sales price is $575,000, price tags vary widely across Rosedale 34 square miles. “Rosedale is full of a large mix of homes, ranging from equestrian properties, large tracts of agricultural land, custom-built homes and small ranches,” says Gordon. Ranch-style homes with around 1,500 to 2,000 square feet range from the low $400,000s to $600,000, while four-bedroom, 3,000 square foot builds go for $700,000 to $850,000. Tiled roofs, in-ground swimming pools and manicured front lawns are common throughout the area. In the west, property sizes are larger, allowing space for horse-owners and orchards. “You can easily find the home that fits your family, whether that’s something smaller in a gated community or you want farmland with grazing horses,” Gordon says.

Important to Know
With its mountainous terrain and southern location in the San Joaquin Valley, Bakersfield is heavily exposed to pollution from the oil, agricultural, and manufacturing sectors north of the city. “Some days you can see the mountains, other times you don’t, but we live with it, and it’s one of the elements that keeps Bakersfield affordable,” Gordon says.
