Housing market in Bakersfield right now

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Average temperature is around 68°F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,371/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Worth the trade-offs? Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I work in education here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is tough. Hope this helps!.
