Tuscany - a renaissance community with a view in Bakersfield
Named after a historic wine region in Italy, Tuscany is experiencing a renaissance in Bakersfield, California. This gated community features 21st-century Spanish homes overlooking a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and the Tehachapi Mountains. With notable golf courses and significant parks nearby, Tuscany offers private suburban living between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. "You're tucked next to the hills, so you've got the views," says Sanjeev Advani, a Bakersfield local and real estate director at Cushman & Wakefield. "The houses are nice, and it's in a growing area near the Rio Bravo Country Club."
HOA fees and 21st-century Mediterranean homes
Towering palm trees and shrubs sway alongside the private properties in Tuscany. Streets bear the names of iconic artists from the Renaissance, such as Raphael Avenue. This community features Spanish revivals and Mediterranean-style homes mainly built between 2000 and 2025. The average home size is 2,900 square feet, significantly above the national average of 1,900 square feet. The area also offers large lots, with a median size of nearly half an acre, and properties can include back courtyards and in-ground pools. Monthly HOA fees run about $100. Single-family home prices range from $500,000 to $850,000. "It's a little bit higher-end, so to speak," Advani says. "People will pay for the amount of space and the views there."
This area receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, compared with the national average of 4. Like most cities in the Central Valley, Bakersfield faces periods of poor air quality due to the area's geography, agriculture and oil production. Wildfires also contribute to air pollution and can pose a risk to local structures.
Most of the homes in Tuscany have installed solar panels.

Short drive to restaurants and supermarkets in the city
Tuscany residents can drive farther into Bakersfield for more dining options. About 5 miles west, El Patron serves margaritas and Mexican dishes in an unassuming space with traditional decor. Rosa's is a family-owned Italian restaurant with murals, floral decorations and a vintage atmosphere. Niles Street has retailers as well as grocery stores, such as Foodmaxx and Vallarta Supermarket. "You're not very central, but it's an easy hop on the freeway, and it doesn't have a lot of traffic," Advani says. "You're looking at around a 5-to 10-minute drive to basic stores."
