A slice of suburbia in South Bakersfield

Stonegate is a well-manicured residential neighborhood 10 miles south of downtown Bakersfield. It’s one of a handful of south Bakersfield suburbs originally developed around school zones. “The communities benefit from a school district with strong academics and high ratings,” says local Realtor Shanti Brinsfield of Watson Realty, who’s been selling homes for over a decade. The neighborhood itself has a uniform feel, where homes here sit close together, shaded by tall palm trees. “It’s a very cookie-cutter neighborhood,” says Erik Van Denk, a Realtor with Central Valley Property Advisors who’s worked in the area for nearly two decades. “Unless you knew what street you were on, they all look the same.” Stonegate also has quick access to California State Route 99, which leads to downtown and other popular destinations. “You have parks, nearby schools that are great, and shopping and dining options not far away,” says Brinsfield. “All the necessities are close by.”

Ranch homes with three car garages can also be found in Stonegate.

1990s homes with small gardens

Most homes in Stonegate were built in the late 90s and early 2000s, Brinsfield says. Single-family home prices range from $350,000 to $650,000, depending on square footage; most homes have Mediterranean features like stucco siding, and some have Spanish-style roofs. Front yards are well-manicured and polished, with enough space for fountains and small gardens, while most backyards are gated. Properties generally sit behind wide, paved sidewalks and have their own driveways.

Studying under well-regarded school districts

Stonegate students get their education under the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District and the Kern High School District, which Niche ranks No.2 for best public school districts in Bakersfield. Berkshire Elementary School is within walking distance of some homes and earns a C-plus from Niche. Children can advance to Stonecreek Junior High School, which receives a B-minus and has served the community since 2006. Kids may transition to B-plus-rated Ridgeview High School, which Niche ranks No.4 for best standout public high schools in Bakersfield. There are no private schools in Stonegate, but nearby places of worship include the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Gurdwara Guru Angad Darbar.

Air pollution in Bakersfield

Bakersfield’s air quality is polluted because of its geography; it’s positioned in a valley near the mountains, which traps pollution. Dust also 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. A wastewater plant 2 miles away can cause a strong odor for Stonegate residents.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
