Hamilton has mid-1900s homes and equestrian trails in North Long Beach
Hamilton is a laid-back neighborhood in North Long Beach where horse stables, midcentury homes and a trendy food hall all share the same ZIP code. Most houses here date back to the early to mid-1900s, and prices are higher than next-door Paramount and Compton because many of the homes have been updated. You get a rural vibe from the nearby equestrian trails, but it still feels decidedly like city living here, with nearby shopping and dining on Artesia Boulevard. Commutes are simple too, with state Route 91 running through the neighborhood, plus Interstate 710 and the Metro A Line close by.
Midcentury homes with investment opportunities
Hamilton has mostly one-story homes built from the 1920s to the 1960s. You'll find a mix of Minimal Traditional, ranch-style and Spanish-influenced houses, many with original hardwood floors and brick fireplaces. Lots are usually modest but often come with private backyards, covered patios and detached garages with alley access.
Investment properties typically start in the low $500,000s to $600,000s, while remodeled homes typically run from the low $700,000s to the upper $800,000s. It's common to see cheaper homes bought, flipped and resold within a few years. Multifamily properties or homes with equestrian-zoned land cost between $1.2 million and $1.5 million. "The market here is somewhat competitive," says Luke Smith, a Realtor with Real Brokerage Technologies who has over a decade of experience. "An average home sells for about 4% above list price and goes pending or under contract in about 20 days."
Ranch-style homes and bungalows are common on Hamilton’s residential streets.
Spanish-inspired architecture helps enhance the neighborhood's charm.
