North Bakersfield is often referred to as “Oildale”, a reference to its close proximity to three large oil fields: Kern River, Kern Front and the Fruitvale Oil Fields. Apartment pricing in this submarket fluctuates depending on the location and offers a wide range of neighborhoods, property types, and tenants. Marc will divide this large submarket and tour you through both North and South Oildale separately. Be sure to watch both videos to see the full scope of investment opportunities in this neighborhood.
