Park West at Stockdale River Ranch — Local services in Bakersfield

Most luxurious apartment complex in Bakersfield. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I rented a 1B/1B.

Love the all white cabinets that make the apartment look chic. The appliances are modern and high quality - from the stove to the smart washer/ dryer, to the dishwasher. I love that there is a smart thermostat A/C unit which I can control with my phone and hooked up to my Alexa for voice commands. I also like that there is keyless entry into the apartment.

It’s a safe and gated community with a nice clubhouse, pool, fitness center, grill, billiards, table tennis, fire pits, and mail room. I have used the grills often to BBQ. I have three cars which isn’t a problem here. I use my assigned covered parking spot for one car, and park the other two in an unassigned covered parking spot. Management is very nice, helpful, and responsive. Maintenance requests can easily be placed online, and I’ve always had issues addressed in a day or two. The community is made of young professionals, and it’s homey and quiet.

Cons: The fitness center could benefit from more exercise machines and sometimes can get crowded. There are lots of cockroaches outdoors mostly at night. But thankfully I have never seen any cockroaches in my second floor apartment.

I encourage anyone moving to Bakersfield to consider living here, as...

All though I am a stranger to Bakersfield my wife is not due to family in the area and living at a different apartment complex shortly while I was deployed overseas. I would always get an uneasy feeling when calling from overseas because of the constant emergency services I would hear in the background. But living at Park West has been a night and day difference from safety, amenities, and the very nice professional staff. My first in depth interaction with staff was when I had an emergency maintenance call after hours and Alberto responded. Coming from a construction background in the service Albeto’s customer service and addressing my emergency response issue was top notch. He promptly fixed/rendered a solution and took the time to explain the cause of my issue. After this interaction sometime later, he remembered I had a dog in passing and informed me about the dog park they will be working to install. I don’t even care if it doesn’t get installed it’s the fact that he recalled I had a pet months later, and let me know due to that reason. The staff here from the front office to maintenance is attentive to detail and constantly working to improve your...

I’ve been living here for some time now, and I absolutely love it! The complex is incredibly safe, which is a top priority for me. I also appreciate that it’s dog-friendly, so my furry friend feels right at home. We use the dog park daily, & the community even has a service that comes in and cleans up after pets that their parents aren’t great about (lol). The amenities are always well-maintained, and the gym is consistently cleaned, which makes a huge difference when you looking at the long term of living somewhere. Complexes (especially new) highlight all of the new stuff & cool amenities but, lack maintaining. Not here! White buildings are white, patio/pool furniture is clean & gym is sanitized constantly. Maintenance requests are addressed promptly, which is a huge relief whenever something needs attention.

Genuinely the only downside is the lack of a microwave in the units, but if you can overlook that, this is truly one of the best places to live....
