Bakersfield is located within a desert environment that experiences hot summers and cool winters. Its Petroleum industry makes it an important economic center for California and the southern United States at large. The region also produces agriculture commodities such as cotton; dairy products including milk powder; alfalfa hay; tomatoes; citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges for processing or fresh eating purposes; walnuts for processing or fresh eating purposes; grapes used for wine making.
Bakersfield is the second-largest city in California's Central Valley and has been home to a large population of Hispanic citizens for decades. In addition to its cultural influence, it's also a major economic hub for the state due to industries like agriculture and oil production.
Most apartment complexes are located near Downtown Bakersfield or on its outskirts, which makes them easy to access by car or public transportation. If you're looking for an urban setting where you can walk most places on foot while still having easy access to major thoroughfares, consider renting in downtown Bakersfield. If you want something more suburban with plenty of green space around—but still within reach of everything you need—look at apartments in neighborhoods like McFarland or Oildale instead.
