Southwest Bakersfield suburb near many shopping options
Situated 11 miles from downtown Bakersfield in the city’s southwest, Terra Vista is a partially gated suburban enclave with manicured lawns and early 2000s Mediterranean-style homes. “This is one of the most desired areas in Bakersfield, because people can get nice homes with lots of nearby shopping and amenities,” says Benny Villarreal, a Realtor with Miramar International who’s sold homes here for 16 years. Big-box stores are just east of the neighborhood, and the fashion retailers of The Marketplace are about 4 miles north. Greystone Park borders the neighborhood, providing a place for kids to run around. The Westside Parkway, located 4 miles north, makes for an easy commute downtown.
The homes of Terra Vista are near all the amenities and restaurants of Bakersfield.

Mediterranean-style homes along cul-de-sacs
Terra Vista’s cul-de-sacs are lined with early-2000s Mediterranean-style homes, and the common aesthetic, which includes clay-tiled roofs and earth-toned stucco exteriors, gives the area a sense of uniformity. Yards are large enough for manicured lawns and a two-car paved driveway leading to an attached garage, and many homes have backyard pools to cool off during the hot summer months. Layouts range from 1,700 to 3,400 square feet, and prices typically range from $400,000 to $600,000, depending on size. “Bakersfield is one of the most affordable cities in California,” Villarreal says. “There aren’t many places where people could live in this nice of a community for this price.” Those in the gated section of the neighborhood also pay monthly homeowners association fees between $60 and $70. While most of the neighborhood is single-family homes, there’s also a low-rise apartment complex in the southwest.

Top-ranked for air pollution

Residents can monitor daily air quality on the IQAir AirVisual App.
