Oleander-Sunset, located between Truxtun Avenue and California Avenue, is a historic and residential Bakersfield neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The character concentrates around the Truxtun Avenue corridor near Oak Street, where independent cafes, small galleries, and neighborhood services set a steady, walkable rhythm. Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival homes sit behind mature landscaping, giving blocks a shaded, established feel. The nearby Kern County Museum grounds and the Fox Theater add a cultural throughline beyond the residential streets. Beach Park and the Kern River Parkway bring open space and a change of pace for daily routines.

Fantastic multi-family community situated right in the midst of the very popular Oleander area of Bakersfield with tree-lined streets and architecturally attractive homes built in the 1920's and 30's. This property includes a single family home with 2 bedrooms/1bath and 1car garage, and its own front and rear yards, and 3 duplex buildings for a total of 7 units. The duplex units are all 1 bed/1bath and have either a 1-car garage or a carport. The rear 2 units each have their own back yard. All tenants have access to the on-site laundry. Owner gets a check $100/mth apx from the Wash co. These units stay rented with no vacancy factor. The average occupancy is 8 years - very stable! Rents are estimated to be 16% under market, so there is a lot of room for increases. The Oleander area is highly sought after because of the character of the area, quality of tenants and proximity to the downtown hub.
