Bakersfield: These Trails Were Made for Hiking
Sometimes we all need a break from screens and technology—a little digital detox, if you will. Luckily, spring is a mighty fine time to go for a hike in the Bakersfield area.
It's the perfect season, offering sunny skies and not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather. Our agents are excited to hit the trail, and we hope to see you out there at some of these scenic Bakersfield hiking spots!
- Hart Park - Bakersfield, CA 93308
Spanning 370 acres alongside the Kern River, Hart Park is one of Bakersfield's most popular spots to take a break from city life and enjoy the outdoors. The park offers rugged, open terrain and shady groves of trees crisscrossed by a vast network of trails. The 2-mile Hart Park Trail is the most heavily used trail and is popular among joggers and dog walkers. To get a little farther off the beaten path, follow the 6.5-mile trek known as the Hart Park Big Loop. Hart Park is a short drive from many of these Bakersfield homes for sale and also offers two small lakes that are great for fishing.

Buyers Will Love Your Backyard Oasis
Over the past year, homeowners have been staying at home more than usual, so many have focused on home upgrades and renovations. To get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine, many homeowners are tackling projects that turn their back yards into a beautiful oasis for relaxing and entertaining.
Our agents at Watson Realty are seeing many Bakersfield homes for sale with amazing back yards that create a luxurious lifestyle. Homeowners are building all types of outdoor features that boost visual appeal, comfortable atmosphere, outdoor entertaining, and home values.
- Decks and Patios
Adding a deck or patio to a back yard increases functional space for your home. Since these features are typically attached to the house, they provide excellent spaces for relaxing and entertaining. You can enjoy your morning coffee, lounge in the sunshine, or dine with family and friends just outside your back door. For a little shade and weather protection, add a roof overhang or install a retractable awning.
