The community is anchored by the City of Tehachapi, comprised of over 13,000 residents, and the epicenter of shopping, retail, arts, and culture. It is surrounded by the unincorporated Kern County communities of Golden Hills, Cummings Valley, Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs, Mountain Meadows, and Sand Canyon.

But Tehachapi’s unique environment also means it’s located outside the mainstream and conventions of suburbia. It’s original, unconventional attitude attracts people with fresh ideas and energies that manifest themselves in the arts, culture, traditions, technology and commercial innovations, and a strong community spirit.

 

It’s about higher elevation. How the higher elevation is our competitive differentiator because we have clean air, four seasons, alternative energy, outdoor adventure, great agri-tourism… all because of our higher elevation.
