Nestled almost 500 miles north of the America’s most star-studded city is the aptly named Paradise, a stunning town stretched out across 18 miles of California’s Central Valley and filled with some of the most breath-taking, scene-stealing sights there are on the North American continent (but don’t take our word for it, just ask Tom Selleck, current Paradise resident and mustached heartthrob).
Since the late 1800s, Paradise has rested proudly at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range where it first served as a mining and sawmill community. Today it’s significantly more modern, but it still retains much of its Gold Rush charm, with sites like the 3,670 acre Bidwell Park boasting landscapes so untouched by the fingers of time that it’s not hard to imagine how amazed early settlers must have been at their discoveries.

Studio apartments could offer the best of Paradise living at a less expensive price tag than larger units. Look for the best buildings near entertainment, dining, and public transportation or highway access.
Ask about the square footage of studio apartments in Paradise during your tour. Even a little extra space in another building can offer more room for storage or an additional chair. Consider the layout and what you can accomplish before you sign. You should have enough room for your bed, a small sitting area, and a dining table. You can always get creative and loft your bed to save on space underneath or install a fold-down table or desk that tucks away.
