Living in Bakersfield CA

Bakersfield sits in an area split by the San Joaquin Valley and Central Valley region of Southern California. This distinct city may not evoke the same images as Los Angeles or San Francisco, but Bakersfield has just as much influence and unique character as the state's other cultural centers. Bakersfield is sometimes referred to as "Nashville West" for its influence in country and rock music. The iconic "Bakersfield Sound" was born here. There's architecture to see too, including the Californian Building and the Kern County Library. Mountains surround Bakersfield, with the Sequoia National Forest to the north, putting residents close to a number of outdoor destinations including hiking trails, off-road parks, and more. Mid-rise apartments ranging in affordability and aesthetic dot the landscape, as do charming single-family bungalows and SoCal-style houses. As of 2023, the cost of living in Bakersfield is lower than the California average, making it an attractive option for those seeking affordable housing in a vibrant community.
