Kern City in Bakersfield California is a community built in 1962 for seniors 55 years and older it’s beautiful here how’s the golf course that runs through the whole area it’s absolutely a wonderful place to live and I love it here The wild animals are these little kit foxes in there so sweet I can’t touch them that there it just makes you feel like you’re at Tehachapi or somewhere like that The mountains I can look out my window and it says if I’m at the coast it’s really a beautiful area and I have wonderful neighbors"

    "One of the things I really like about living here is The police will come out when you need them immediately, ambulance I personally did not need the services but I have friends that lived here and they were very well taken care of and watched out for I feel safe in this neighborhood and I love the fact that each month we get a little newspaper about the city and what’s going on it’s a wonderful place and I have really nice neighbors and everyone started watches out for one another so it’s like something that was when my parents grew up it’s a really wonderful place to live"
