Hamilton blends urban proximity with equestrian recreation
Hamilton, in north Long Beach, is close to city amenities, freeways and a revitalized business district, but also has some rustic allure, with an equestrian park set alongside the Los Angeles River Trail. Homes are fronted by nicely maintained sidewalks that lead you through the neighborhood. Enjoy a shade tree's foliage while you pause to admire a neighbor's aesthetic landscaping. Some street names have fruit flavors; you might write Orange, Lemon or Lime Avenue as your return address once you move here. If you're lucky, your lot will include a citrus tree.
Spanish and ranch-style homes are most prevalent
"The market here is somewhat competitive," says Luke Smith, a Realtor with Keller Williams Encino-Sherman Oaks. "An average home sells for about 4% above list price and goes pending or under contract in about 20 days." Most houses are single-family dwellings built from the 1930s through the '50s. Architectural looks include ranch-style homes, Traditionals and those with Spanish elements like clay tile roofs and stucco exteriors. Most homes are one story, so when the rare two-level model goes on the market, it's snapped up quickly. Expect to see a price range from about $450,000 to $800,000. There also are some condos and town houses which were built in recent decades and sell for under $500,000.
Nearby schools offer magnet programs and extracurricular clubs
Public educational options for neighborhood kids include Grant Elementary and Hamilton Middle School, which was graded B- by Niche.

Older students may enroll at one of the nearby campuses of California State University: Dominguez Hills or Long Beach.
