Suburban setting close to downtown Bakersfield
Stone Meadows, about 9 miles south of downtown Bakersfield, is a convenient community with single-family homes, mostly dating to the early 2000s. "Stone Meadows has a suburban feel. It's a little more remote but still close enough to the necessities," says Realtor Shanti Brinsfield of Watson Realty, a specialist in corporate relocation and short sales. Bakersfield sits in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, roughly between Sequoia National Park and the Los Padres National Forest.
Stone Meadows' contemporary single-family homes

Two-car garages and short, paved driveways are common. "The homes are smaller in Stone Meadows than in neighboring Stone Creek, and they have fairly modest-sized lots," Brinsfield says. Three and four-bedroom homes of about 1,400 to 2,400 square feet are the norm. Prices range from $335,000 to $550,000.
