About Golden Hills

Golden Hills is a census-designated place in Kern County, set in the Tehachapi Mountains near the city of Tehachapi. Its setting is the main story: higher elevation, mountain air, oak and chaparral landscapes, and views that feel different from both the Central Valley and the Mojave Desert. Golden Hills is mostly residential, with homes spread across rolling terrain and daily life tied closely to Tehachapi for schools, shopping, and services. It feels like a mountain-edge community rather than a conventional town center.
