South San Lauren is situated west of Downtown Bakersfield across the Kern River and is characterized by sprawling residential developments, pristine streets, and a close-knit community. Suburban conveniences blend with small-town charm to provide a family-friendly locale just outside the buzz of Bakersfield. Head to Fruitvale Avenue or Coffee Road to get a taste of the area’s dining options, including a local speakeasy and plenty of grocers.
Quick access to Highway 58 and 99 makes commuting for either work or leisure a breeze. South San Lauren rentals include amenity-laden apartment complexes and affordable single-family homes in the typical Bakersfield style: stucco walls with a terracotta roof.
