When a drunk driver crashed into their home, Darren and Holly Kerns knew they had to find a safer neighborhood. They had been searching for some time when Darren remembered visiting Windermere at Seven Oaks with his wife when the community first opened. They decided to visit again.

One look at the gated entry, the beautiful landscaping, the big park and children’s playground and the streets specifically designed to slow traffic, they knew they had found their new home. Now the kids love playing in the park and Darren and Holly have no reservations about letting them ride their bikes around the community, “Just stay inside the gates and have fun,” they tell them.

Windermere at Seven Oaks is a private, gated Castle & Cooke community. Castle & Cooke has been creating master planned, lifestyle-oriented communities in Bakersfield for over 25 years.
