From the moment you step into Bakersfield, you’ll find a community that gives back to you. Bakersfield’s quality of life is hard to match. With the most affordable housing on the West Coast, an average high temperature of 77 degrees and 223 sunny days a year, it’s no wonder it’s one of the fastest growing cities in America. As home to a Division I state university, several junior colleges, and more than 200 K-12 schools, public and private, there are plenty of educational options. Did we mention the location? Bakersfield is only one hour from the mountains of the Sequoia National Forest, only two hours from the beach and the uncrowded scenery of the Central Coast, and less than 100 miles from Southern California’s great sports, theatres, concerts and amusement parks.

Stocked with great people, fantastic year-round weather, top-notch schools, and proximity to just about everything, you’ll find Bakersfield a place you quickly give a new name: home.
