A variety of housing options in southwest Bakersfield
Situated roughly 7 miles from downtown Bakersfield, Sagepointe is a southwest Bakersfield suburb with a variety of housing options, near restaurants and shopping. “Sagepointe is a great entry point for first-time buyers to purchase a home in southwest Bakersfield,” says William Gordon, who’s sold homes here since 2007 and is the team lead of the Gordon Team at Watson Realty. “You’re also going to find a lot of rental properties and investor-owned properties.” The Golden State Highway is about 2 miles away and provides convenient access to downtown. Proximity to the Valley Plaza Mall, grocery stores and popular local restaurants mean that homes here don’t stay on the market long.

Ranch-style homes, condos and rentals
Sagepointe’s mid-1970s ranch-style homes sit along sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs, their manicured lawns dotted with palm trees and boxwood shrubs. Most have front-facing, attached two-car garages and paved driveways, and backyards often have pools for cooling off during Bakersfield’s hot summers. Prices range from $250,000 to $450,000, depending on renovations. Two- and three-bedroom condos range from $150,000 to $250,000, plus monthly homeowners association fees between $50 and $310 that cover shared amenities. Multifamily properties can cost between $650,000 and $750,000; many of these are leased out to renters. Low-rise apartment complexes can be found along Ming Avenue.

Lit baseball fields at Patriots Park
While there aren’t any neighborhood parks here, several nearby green spaces offer ways for residents to get outside. At the 4-acre Castle Park, kids can climb the playground’s rock wall and run around the grassy field. The 20-acre Patriots Park nearby also has a playground, as well as lighted baseball fields and basketball courts. More sports fields can be found at Sportsplex Bakersfield, which hosts soccer leagues for all ages and has programs for tennis and pickleball. The Southwest Branch Library is just over a mile away; in addition to a variety of books and media available to check out, the library hosts programs like crafts classes and board game meetups.

They can also join several academic teams, including We the People, where students compete as constitutional experts in simulated congressional hearings.
The annual CSUB Spring BBQ at the Icardo Center
California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), just over 2 miles away, hosts several annual events that are open to the whole community.

Latin American fusion at Buena Vida Tapas Lounge
Several local restaurants, national chains and shopping centers are nearby. Gordon recommends Buena Vida Tapas Lounge, a chic hangout known for its Latin American fusion dishes and cocktails. “It’s not the typical Mexican food restaurant,” he says. “They have ceviche, really saucy mole and grilled octopus. It feels like you're going on a vacation in Cancún.” Salty’s BBQ & Catering is a southwest Bakersfield staple that was featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.” For dessert, Sweet Surrender bakery serves a variety of sweet treats; their cakes have been featured in Oprah Magazine and Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate.” At the Valley Plaza Mall, locals can browse over 150 stores, including Macy’s and Old Navy.

High levels of air pollution
The American Lung Association frequently recognizes Bakersfield as having the highest annual particle air pollution of any city in the United States. The city is located at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, and air pollution from Sacramento and the Bay Area can become trapped here by the surrounding mountains. Residents can monitor local air quality on the IQAir AirVisual App.
