Centrally located northwest Bakersfield suburb
Located 5 miles from downtown Bakersfield, Calloway Country is a centrally located suburb where most of the homes are part of the RiverLakes Ranch Master Association; members have access to a nearby private lake, a clubhouse and community pool. “It’s great for young families, with close proximity to schools, shopping and dining, and it’s relatively walkable,” says William Gordon, who’s sold homes here since 2007 and is the team lead of the Gordon Team at Watson Realty. “The homes are relatively small and modestly priced to fit most people’s budgets.” The Northwest Promenade shopping center is in the neighborhood, and Rosedale Highway is right nearby, making for a straightforward commute to downtown.

The annual Kern County Fair
The Kern County Fair and Events Center is about 9 miles away and hosts some of Bakersfield’s biggest events, including the namesake Kern County Fair. Each September, crowds fill the fairgrounds over 12 days to enjoy rides, carnival games and fair foods.

High levels of particle air pollution
According to the American Lung Association, Bakersfield ranks No. 1 in the United States for having the highest annual particle air pollution, largely due to the area’s geography; the surrounding mountains trap pollution from the Bay Area and nearby oil refineries over the city. Residents can monitor daily air quality on the local news and the IQAir AirVisual App.
