Types of apartment in Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield apartments range from older garden-style buildings to newer stucco complexes with gated entries, carports, and small courtyards. Near Downtown, Oleander, Westchester, and East Bakersfield, you can still find 1920s to 1950s rentals with brick details, shaded porches, and a few small apartment buildings mixed in with houses for rent. Interiors in these older places often include hardwood floors, built-ins, and smaller closets. Many apartments in central Bakersfield trade newer finishes for larger rooms and mature trees.
On the west side near Seven Oaks, Stockdale, and CSU Bakersfield, apartments often look newer and lower-density, with tan stucco exteriors, tile roofs, wider parking lots, and pool areas. Farther north in Rosedale and around the Riverlakes area, many rentals are in newer apartment communities and single-story houses with attached garages. In the southwest, near The Marketplace and along Ming Avenue, apartments can sit close to shopping and major roads. In the south and southeast, around South Bakersfield and near Valley Plaza, you can find older duplexes, smaller apartment courts, and houses for rent with simpler exteriors and less storage.
