Paxton Brings 346 Apartments and Resort-Style Amenities to 18750 Delaware Street in Huntington Beach

In a city long characterized by single-family streets and low-rise sprawl, the completion of Paxton at 18750 Delaware Street marks a decisive step toward a new model of coastal living. Developed by Holland Partner Group, the project reimagines what high-density housing can look like in Huntington Beach.

The new community balances scale and sophistication within a walkable, amenity-driven setting. Rather than simply stacking apartments, the six-story structure organizes 346 homes around landscaped courtyards and social terraces, creating a network of green spaces threaded through the development. The design prioritizes community life over sheer footprint, allowing residents to move fluidly between private units and shared environments.

Paxton’s architectural expression breaks from the beach-town vernacular, trading stucco bungalows for a clean, geometric composition of light façades, glass balconies, and recessed planes. Subtle contrasts in tone and texture articulate the building’s rhythm while maintaining a calm, residential sensibility that fits the coastal context.

Inside, the emphasis shifts from spectacle to comfort. Apartments range from compact studios to spacious three-bedrooms, each designed around large windows and efficient floor plans. Communal spaces such as a rooftop pool deck, a co-working hub, and indoor-outdoor lounges extend the living experience beyond the apartment door.

Paxton occupies roughly four acres, introducing a significant dose of multifamily housing to a city once resistant to vertical growth. By including 20 percent affordable units and maintaining a high standard of design, the development shows how density can coexist with livability and aesthetics.

As leasing continues, Paxton signals more than a new address; it reflects a gradual cultural shift. In a region defined by its coastline, this project demonstrates that growth and good design can share the same horizon.
