Amberton blends calm, well-kept streets with everyday convenience, offering a close-knit feel on Bakersfield’s southwest side. Tree-shaded cul-de-sacs, single-story homes, and neighborly sidewalks make it easy to spot evening dog walkers and kids pedaling to a friend’s house. Its central location keeps you minutes from errands and dining while still feeling tucked away from the city’s busier corridors in Bakersfield.
Families value the education pipeline here. Amberton Elementary feeds into the highly regarded Panama-Buena Vista Union School District, known for strong academics and community engagement. For high school, students are served by the Kern High School District, the state’s largest high school system, with diverse programs in STEM, career pathways, arts, and athletics.
Weekends are easy to fill: stroll the lakes and pathways at the Park at River Walk, catch youth sports at nearby fields, or head to local favorite The Marketplace for dinner-and-a-movie nights. Cultural outings across town—from galleries to seasonal events—are within a short drive, and continuing education, concerts, and Division I sports at California State University, Bakersfield add energy year-round. Neighboring pockets like Laurelglen and Seven Oaks expand shopping, recreation, and dining options while keeping daily life close to home in Kern County.
