San Lauren is a northwest pocket of Bakersfield known for well-kept streets, newer homes, and easy everyday living. Commuters value its proximity to Highway 99 and the Westside Parkway, while daily errands are a breeze thanks to nearby grocers, cafés, and the shopping and dining options along Calloway Drive and Olive Drive. Weekend plans come together quickly with quick access to Rosedale’s retail corridor and short drives to entertainment across town.
Outdoorsy residents enjoy morning jogs and evening strolls on neighborhood sidewalks, plus bigger outings at The Park at River Walk, a city showpiece with lakes, lawns, and the Kern River Parkway Trail for miles of cycling and walking. Explore it here: The Park at River Walk. Golfers can tee off minutes away at the public Riverlakes Golf Course, a local favorite for its playable layout and friendly practice facilities.
Families appreciate the strong school options. Local homes are commonly served by the Rosedale Union School District for elementary and middle grades, and by the Kern High School District at the high school level; check current boundaries for exact assignments. Neighboring Oildale and central amenities across Kern County add museums, river access, and employment centers within an easy radius.
