Review of Bakersfield, California

Bakersfield Is great!!
Star Rating - 7/6/2011
I've lived in Bakersfield for 5 years now and I love it.. It's the best place in California I've lived. The people are great, schools are good and I feel safe. The cost of living is lower than in many other parts of the state and if you can take the heat in the summer you'll love the rest of the year.

I've lived in San Deigo, Long Beach, Palm Springs, and Santa Rosa.
