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.
The homes of Sagepointe are a short distance from parks and restaurants.

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.

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.

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. Held each May at the Icardo Center since 1975, the CSUB Spring BBQ raises money for the school’s NCAA Division I athletics department; locals come out to enjoy barbecued meats and traditional cookout sides, plus an evening of live music.
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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
