Northeast Bakersfield Homes for Sale

Looking to live in an area with rolling hills and breathtaking views of the city and mountains? This is what Northeastern Bakersfield is famous for!

Bordered on the south by the Edison Highway, this area's boundaries are Union Ave to the left, the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, and heading into the foothills on the north. One reason for the popularity of the Northeast is the convenience to two of the state's favorite resorts:

-Lake Isabella is roughly 35 miles northeast of Bakersfield through the Kern Canyon. Activities include fishing, wind surfing, camping, hiking, boating and water skiing.

-The Alta Sierra Ski Resort is located in the Sequoia National Forest, northwest of Lake Isabella.
