Top neighborhoods in Bakersfield

Park Stockdale
Park Stockdale
What it’s like to live in Park Stockdale
Mid-century charm characterizes Park Stockdale, where ranch homes with distinctive architectural details create a time-capsule neighborhood in southwest Bakersfield. The community surrounds its namesake park with popular tennis courts and swimming facilities, while the commercial district provides practical amenities from grocery stores to medical offices serving daily needs. Most rentals include surprisingly spacious yards with established landscaping creating natural privacy between properties. Though summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, the established tree canopy provides essential shade absent in newer developments with their recently planted saplings. The neighborhood's location provides quick access to both downtown employment and residential amenities, creating reasonable commutes without excessive travel times in either direction.
