About
Lakeview
Lakeview, located between the Kern River and Downtown Bakersfield, is a historic and residential Bakersfield neighborhood with a river-edge setting and a grid of mature streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kern River Parkway Trail access near Manor Street, where cyclists, walkers, and shaded picnic pockets set the daily rhythm. Early-20th-century cottages and modest bungalows mix with midcentury homes, giving blocks a lived-in architectural variety. The river corridor frames outdoor routines with long, flat paths and open views. Community touchstones include the Bakersfield Museum of Art, the Fox Theater, and the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History & Science.
