Get To Know Our Community

Built in 2006 by the Pulte Development Company as a Del Webb 55+ community, Solera at Kern Canyon is nestled against the Sequoia National Forest and the Southern Sierra Mountains.  

Part of the greater Bakersfield community, our residents enjoy the quiet and tranquil life east of greater downtown Bakersfield.

We are located 30 miles from Tehachapi, 7 miles from Bakersfield College and 15 miles from Cal State Bakersfield and 12 miles from Crystal Palace.

Residents of Solera enjoy the rich agriculture of the San Joaquin valley, close access to the Sequoia National Forest and of course the many venues of The Bakersfield Sound!

OUR MISSION: 

A professionally managed community in an aesthetically pleasing environment that is fiscally sound and promotes healthy and engaged residents

Ways to Get Involved

We believe that there's a place for everyone to get involved in our community, whether you're interested in leading as a board member, helping out on a committee or just getting to know your neighbors. Taking the time to get invested in where you live allows you to put down roots, serve the community and build lasting friendships with people nearby. If you're not sure where to start, visit our Amenities page to find activities you can participate in with neighbors who share your interests.

Benefits of Living in a Community

There are several reasons the number of community associations has exploded from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands over the decades. The benefits our homeowners enjoy most are:

  • Maintained Property Values. According to the Community Associations Institute, homes in managed communities are often worth 5 percent more than those in traditional communities.
  • Amenities and Services. Our homeowners receive value in return for their choice to invest in a homeowners association.
  • Sense of Community. Our community is a place to connect in a world that is increasingly disconnected.
