Govea Gardens

Southeast Bakersfield’s 93307 sits on the flatlands of the southern San Joaquin Valley, with big-sky sunsets, hot, dry summers, and mild winters with occasional tule fog. Streets are mostly quiet and residential with single-story homes and small apartment communities, and you’re minutes from Highway 99 and 58 and roughly a 10-minute drive to downtown. Daily errands are easy with local mercados, carnicerías, and produce stands, plus nearby shopping centers and quick access to Valley Plaza Mall; you’ll also find drive-thru coffee spots, panaderías, casual restaurants, and fitness options close by. Community life revolves around parks like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park, Casa Loma Park, and Rexland Acres Park, weekend soccer leagues, and the Kern County Fairgrounds for concerts, swap meets, and the annual fair. The dining scene leans casual—taco trucks, birria and mariscos, and classic American diners—while outdoor time often means evening walks or biking on nearby trails along the Kern River Parkway and Panorama Bluffs. It’s family- and pet-friendly, and recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent in the mid-$1,500s, with most listings roughly $1,200–$2,100 in the past few months.
