A riverside suburb with proximity to Bakersfield destinations
Pheasant Run is a riverside community in east Bakersfield, next to the Kern River and 6 miles from downtown. The neighborhood attracts health professionals because of its many medical offices, including the California Cardiovascular Institute and Universal Urgent Care-Brimhall. California State University, Bakersfield, is 2 miles away: “There’s also a younger demographic in the mid-20s to mid-30s since it’s near the university,” says Erik Van Denk, a Realtor with Central Valley Property Advisors who’s worked in the area for nearly two decades. Across the river, which lines the south side of the neighborhood, are big-name eateries like Yard House and chain stores like Trader Joe’s, plus the Park at River Walk, which includes an outdoor amphitheater with live musical performances. “It’s a good neighborhood representative of everything northern Bakersfield has to offer at an affordable price range,” says William Gordon, a Realtor with Watson Realty who grew up in Bakersfield.
1990s homes with Mediterranean features
Pheasant Run has 1990s single-family homes priced between $350,000 and $450,000, depending on size. Some homes have Mediterranean features like red-tile roofs, and they sit on residential streets with classic suburban characteristics like paved sidewalks and driveways, polished front lawns and gated backyards. Lawns are well-maintained, and neighbors can walk to one of two parks scattered throughout the area.
Bakersfield’s air quality is polluted because of its geography; it’s positioned in a valley near the mountains, which traps pollution. Also, dust tends to get trapped in the air since it's a heavy farming area. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has programs like Charge Up!, which funds electric vehicle chargers and reduces car emissions.
Red-tile roofs are a popular choice in Pheasant Run as they help keep homes cool.
