Construction of homes and commercial sites continued to increase through the 1980’s.   In the mid 2000, construction declined due to the housing market crash.  In recent years, recovery of the real estate has improved.  To get to the Southwest side of Bakersfield, you will have to go west off the 99 Highway, either exiting down White Lane or  Stockdale Highway.
