Paramount is a green city south of LA
Paramount is a Los Angeles County city that was once known for its dairy farms. Time passed, and the city has transformed into a green community with tree-lined streets and spacious parks. Paramount is even a designated Tree City USA for its dedication to keeping the city full of trees. You have a range of home types and popular local restaurants, all while being about 15 miles from busy Los Angeles.
Paramount has some wide, tree-lined streets.
Paramount's boulevards are lined with majestic trees, and the city is a designated Tree City, USA.

Paramount has homes with Spanish-inspired designs and lush landscaping.
Older homes near newer townhouses and condos
Most homes here were built from the 1940s to 1980s, with National, ranch-style and Craftsman designs. “Paramount is an old city,” says Mike McKown, historian of the Paramount Historical Society. “It has been here about 135 years and is home to many families who have lived here for three or four generations.” There has been newer construction over the years, so buyers find a mix of original midcentury builds as well as modern detached homes, townhouses and condos. Home prices range from the upper $300,000s to $1.9 million, while townhouses and condos can sell from the upper $200,000s to the lower $600,000s, depending on size.
Where Paramount residents go to get outside
There are parks spread across Paramount, so people have options when they want to get outside. “The community is popular among families for its price and activities,” says Gretta Sheffer Minnema, a Realtor with Re/Max College Park Realty. Paramount Park is usually the busiest green space because it has baseball fields, basketball courts and a public pool. Progress Park is another popular spot, with its athletic courts and playgrounds, but some people prefer Salud Park, because it has sand volleyball courts, a splash pad and a running track. The city sponsors youth sports leagues and classes at parks throughout the area. “Longtime residents and new homebuyers find the many services the city offers very appealing,” McKown says. “There are a lot of things for people to do and lots of ways to get involved.”
“It’s got a lot of good family activities,” Minnema says. “There’s the Iceland Ice Rink, home of the famous Zamboni.” The LA Kings Iceland at Paramount, founded in 1940, is home to the original Zamboni, a machine that is used to maintain ice rinks across the world. You can see the first Zamboni model at the rink or take lessons.
Salud Park in Paramount has a walking track to get your steps in the fresh air.
During the summer, you can go to the pool at Paramount Park, a local spot to beat the heat.
The Hay Tree is a 50-foot camphor tree and a Paramount landmark dating to the city's founding.

Getting around Paramount and beyond
Interstate 105 passes through Paramount, while Interstate 710 runs along its western border. If you want to get to Los Angeles, you might drive roughly 15 miles for around 30 minutes, but another option is to take a Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus to the Compton Metro A Line Station. Traffic is a part of life in LA County, so commutes can take longer during peak rush hour. You’re also about 5 miles from the Long Beach Airport.
Zamboni Middle School is named after the Paramount resident and inventor.
Options offered by the Paramount Unified School District
The Paramount Unified School District serves the city, and students might attend options like the B-rated Wesley Gaines School. Paramount High School runs two campuses, and students can enroll in Career Technical Education courses to study topics like technology or health. The district has partnered with Compton College to offer dual enrollment for the Administration of Justice Early College Program. High school students in the program can earn an associate’s degree and a diploma when they graduate.
You're close to locally owned restaurants and shops
Paramount has a dining scene built around local and family-owned restaurants along its main corridors. You can sit down for a meal at popular spots like:
Horchateria Rio Luna, a coffee shop known for unique ice cream flavors and horchata iced coffees
Casa Gamino, a long-standing restaurant serving Mexican dishes, from enchiladas to carne asada
Mariscos El Perihuete, where you might order seafood options like shrimp soup or ceviche
Tortas B Chingonas, a casual eatery celebrated for oversized tortas and birria
When it comes to shopping, most stores are along Paramount Boulevard. You can get groceries at Sprouts Farmers Market or the Northgate Gonzalez Market. The Paramount Swap Meet has been a part of the city since the 1950s, and it’s grown to over 800 vendor spaces. You pay an admission fee to browse the vendors, stop by food stalls and see which bands are playing on stage.
