Southwest Bakersfield CA Homes
The Southwest area of Bakersfield is a very popular area for newcomers and natives of Bakersfield looking to buy their first home or move up. It offers great schools, convenient shopping and much more. It is second in popularity only to the Northwest, and offers nearly as many wonderful attractions as you will find in that part of the city. The number of parks and outdoor facilities along with 3 golf courses, the convenient Mercy Southwest Hospital, and great shopping facilities bring in visitors and new residents all the time, and it is the fastest growing section of Bakersfield. It is also headquarters to many corporate offices such State Farm Operation Center, Aera Energy, Chevron, Halliburton, and Nestle Ice Cream.
The Kern River is the northern border of Southwest Bakersfield, with Highway 5 being the area's west border. The southern border runs along Houghton Road until it intersects the east border* of Highway 99.
According to the Association of Realtors and the Bakersfield MLS, Area 51, south of Brundage lane, and between Highway 99 and Union Avenue is part of southwest Bakersfield. Most residents do not associate this area with the Southwest since it is east of the highway. Therefore, in order to keep from confusing anyone, we have decided to use Highway 99 as the dividing line for the east and west areas of Bakersfield in our search.
