Downtown Bakersfield Homes
The downtown Bakersfield area is the central part of the city; bordered by the Kern River, Brundage Lane, Union Avenue, and Highway 99 to the west. The quaint, tree-lined streets include our historic neighborhoods, with some of the oldest homes in Sunset Park and Oleander built in the early 1900's. There are some 100 plus year old homes in Westchester, as well a some from the 1940's.
The majority of hospitals are located in this area, (Mercy Hospital, Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, San Joaquin Community Hospital) along with many other physicians' offices surrounding them. Anyone that needs to be convenient to medical facilities should make their home in downtown Bakersfield.
Downtown Attractions
The downtown area has five major parks - Beale Park, Jastro and Beach Parks, Central Park at Mill Creek (for WIFI access) and Lowell Park are all part of the downtown area's amenities. Bakersfield High School has been around since 1937, and boasts alumni like Congressman Kevin McCarthy. Even Merle Haggard attended the school from time to time.
Other attractions to this community include the Bakersfield Ice Sports Center, with public ice skating and ice hockey. An Olympic sized public swimming pool can be enjoyed at the McMurtrey Aquatic Center, and the Bakersfield Racquet Club offers 11 lighted tennis courts, two pools, and a fitness center. We have a modern Amtrak station, and many impressive buildings such as the Fox Theatre and the Padre Hotel. Visitors won't want to miss a trip to the Kern County Museum as well. You'll find something fun to do for every member of the family!
You'll find a wide variety of dining available - something for every taste - including many coffee shops and a few ice cream parlors. The 24th Street Cafe is popular for breakfast, generous portions, a diverse menu, and "downhome" type cooking.
Homes in Downtown Bakersfield
The downtown area is popular for those that want a home with character, or an inexpensive starter home, At the same time you can find historic mansions priced in the millions, you will also see homes in the downtown Bakersfield area that are priced well under $100,000. A young family looking for first time home ownership as well as a middle income buyer looking for a "charmer" home should look in the downtown district first. This is also a popular area for some investors looking to restore single family homes for use as rental properties.
*Things to remember about older homes:
Most are not built on concrete slabs, and regular termite inspections are very important. They also may require more upkeep than newer homes, so even if you spend less money up front, it's helpful to have some on reserve for repairs and maintenance requirements.
Townhomes and condos in Downtown Bakersfield are rare, but can be found. The Montecito Villa Townhomes offer carefree living and very low prices, (under $100k) with a Santa Barbara feel. The more upscale but still very affordable Riviera Westchester Condos are also a popular choice. More commonly, we have duplexes and quadriplexes for sale in the downtown section.
