WHERE YOU'LL LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY:
Bakersfield is California's ninth-largest city and a place with a character all its own — rooted in agriculture, energy, and a deep musical heritage that gave birth to the Bakersfield Sound, a twangy, West Coast alternative to Nashville country that produced legends like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. The city is home to the Kern County Museum, a vibrant arts scene, and a calendar full of festivals and community events that reflect its proud, hardworking spirit.
Surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, Bakersfield sits at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley with easy access to some of California's most spectacular outdoor destinations. The nearby Kern River offers whitewater rafting and scenic hiking, while Lake Isabella is a favorite for boating, fishing, and camping. The southern Sierra Nevada mountains are just a short drive away, putting world-class skiing at Mammoth Mountain and the towering peaks of Sequoia National Park well within weekend reach.
With a lower cost of living than most California metros, Bakersfield gives residents the ability to stretch their dollar further while enjoying a warm climate, a growing restaurant and craft brewery scene, and a close-knit community that takes pride in its roots. The city is well-connected via Highway 99 and is within a two-hour drive of both Los Angeles and the Central Coast — making it an ideal home base for those who want California living without California prices.
