Kern County New Home Information
Kern County, AKA California's Golden Empire, is named for the settlers who once sought the riches brought by gold and the "black gold" of oil. Found at the southern end of California's great Central Valley, Kern County is the gateway to Southern California, the San Joaquin Valley, the Sierra Nevada and the Mojave Desert. Perfectly located, Kern's new home communities are within easy reach of Los Angeles or San Francisco, the Pacific Coast or Las Vegas, Yosemite or Death Valley.
The third-largest county in California, Kern hosts a wealth of recreational and tourism opportunities to satisfy its new home neighborhoods. The scenic Kern River is a Mecca for outdoorsmen. Beginners and professionals alike flock to its world-class rapids. The Kern River Valley is also the gateway to the Giant Sequoia National Monument and is home to some of the best fishing and camping in California and includes five recreational lakes.
Kern's desert is home to the awe-inspiring Red Rock Canyon State Park and the living ghost town of Randsburg. New home residents can also view the history of flight or developments in military technology at Edwards Air Force Base, Vernon P. Saxon Flight Museum, or the U.S. Naval Museum of Armament and Technology at the China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station.
Kern County's communities include 51 school districts with 249 schools. The smallest school district is Blake Elementary while the largest is Kern High (actually the largest in the state) with 35,000 students and 35,000 employees. Over 50% of Kern county students are Hispanic.
