121 Universe Avenue

Zip code 93308 anchors north Bakersfield around Oildale and the Kern River, mixing long-time locals with newcomers in a laid-back, blue-sky Central Valley setting. Summers run hot and dry, winters are mild with occasional Tule fog, and weekends often head to Hart Memorial Park, the Panorama Bluffs, and the Kern River Parkway Trail for fishing, biking, and picnics. Daily needs are easy along North Chester Avenue and Buck Owens Boulevard—think Albertsons, Vallarta Supermarket, local taquerias and BBQ, coffee spots, and big-box staples—with fitness options and rec centers nearby; Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace adds a bit of country-music sparkle to the dining scene. Meadows Field Airport and quick access to Hwy 99 and 65 make commuting simple, and downtown is just over the river. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,600–$1,750, with most 1–3 bedroom places between about $1,200 and $2,100. Generally friendly to families and pets, with roomy yards and neighborhood parks.
