Taft, CA Apartments for Rent

Nestled in the foothills at the southwestern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, Taft offers a fascinating glimpse into California's oil history. Those looking for apartments for rent in Taft will find themselves in a community shaped by petroleum production since the late 1800s. Named after President William Howard Taft in 1909, this city of approximately 8,500 residents sits between the historic Midway and Sunset oil fields. With rental rates well below the California average - one-bedroom apartments typically rent for around $780 compared to the state average of $2,179 - Taft presents an affordable option for those seeking Central Valley living.

The West Kern Oil Museum preserves the area's petroleum heritage, featuring preserved wooden derricks and exhibits chronicling local history. The surrounding landscape offers year-round outdoor recreation opportunities at the Temblor Recreation Area and Carrizo Plain National Monument, thanks to the area's desert climate. While the oil industry remains significant, the presence of Taft College has helped diversify the local economy. Every five years, the community celebrates its heritage with Oildorado, a week-long festival featuring parades and events that highlight the city's distinctive history.
