Suburban setting southwest of downtown Bakersfield
About 8 miles southwest of downtown Bakersfield, there's a neighborhood where some streets have a seasonal theme, with names like Summer Solstice Drive, Spring Blossom Street and Winter Ridge Drive. This is The Seasons, a quiet residential pocket of the city. Homes sit beside tidy sidewalks, palms, pines and manicured front lawns. Aside from Harris Road, which runs through the center of the neighborhood, streets are short, many are curved, and there are numerous cul-de-sacs, making for quiet streets and a walkable environment.
The Seasons' contemporary and manufactured homes
Contemporary, single-family homes built from the 1990s to the 2020s have a variety of exterior styles, using two-tone color schemes, paneling, siding or brick and stone. Others have Mediterranean touches like clay tile roofing and stucco finishes. Most homes have driveways and attached garages; some have solar-paneled roofs and private pools. Prices range from $280,000 to $530,000. "The homes here are more modern, newer builds than in the surrounding areas," says Jose Torres, a Realtor at Re/Max Golden Empire with over five years of experience in Bakersfield.Fountain Springs Estates has manufactured homes dating to the 1970s and '80s. They range from $200,000 to $283,000. Lot ownership is part of the purchase; this is not always true for manufactured home communities. The homeowners association's monthly fee is $85, and it covers water and the maintenance of streets and common areas.
