About Old River

Old River is a tiny, peaceful community nestled in Kern County's Central Valley, just southwest of Bakersfield. With a population of around 120 people, it offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle set against a backdrop of open farmland and regional oil fields. Living here means enjoying wide-open skies, generous lot sizes, and a true rural atmosphere, all while keeping the shopping, dining, and job opportunities of greater Bakersfield just a short drive away.
