In my opinion, this is the best apartment complex in Bakersfield. Granted, you’re going to be paying a pretty penny for it: $ 1275 for the 2BR and $ 1375 for the 3BR. What are you paying for? — Gated Complex — On-site management — Granite countertops — 2-car garage — newer appliances w/in unit washer/dryer The units are thoroughly cleaned between tenants, more meticulously than I’ve seen at other apartment complexes. The grounds are clean and well landscaped. TIP: There is ALWAYS a waitlist for the units so if you’re considering moving here, get on the waitlist several months before you want to move. Also, if you work for an oil/gas company, mention that. It may expedite your application process.
