A north Long Beach neighborhood on the rise with an extensive park project
Paramount is a north Long Beach neighborhood featuring a recent project that is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Davenport Park has started its transformation as a valuable community resource, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The project addresses the area’s need for more green space and increases the park equity within Long Beach. A perk of living in Paramount is the housing prices. “It’s very economical there. It’s a place to consider when you’re looking to buy for the first time,” says Realtor Priscilla Martinez, who works with Realty One and has over a decade of experience in the area. Not only economical, the housing options are also wide-ranging to suit many people’s needs.

Wide-ranging housing options in affordable Paramount
The neighborhood has retail on its northern side, while the rest of Paramount is residential. There's quite a variety of home styles to fit most people’s demands, including single-family homes, condos, manufactured homes and apartments. Located in Paramount’s northeast section, the single-family homes are primarily midcentury ranch-style homes and bungalows.

Condos are on the neighborhood's western side, with prices ranging from $300,000 for a one-bedroom to $500,000 for a three-bedroom.
