Located about nine miles southwest of downtown Bakersfield, Silver Creek contains a collection of small, quiet suburbs that provide a calm place to call home. Expect to see single and multi-story houses for rent throughout the neighborhood, with the occasional bit of greenery to add natural beauty.

If you like spending time outdoors, choose a place close to the center of the neighborhood so you have easy access to Silver Creek Park and Wilderness Park.
