Paradise Creek is the largest and most significant state-funded residential development in National City. Located 5 miles south of San Diego in National City's Westside neighborhood, currently an industrial area surrounded by homes and an elementary school, Paradise Creek is a multi-phase, 201-unit affordable family apartment development with area enhancements of the park, trails, bike lanes, pathways and intersection improvements funded by the City of National City. A public-private partnership with Community HousingWorks and the City of National City, Paradise Creek includes pedestrian walks, picnic areas, play areas, a new public park, intimate plazas and a 6,000 square foot community center that incorporates management, leasing and social services offices, along with a fitness center, learning/computer center, conference room and recreation room.

Phase two included the expansion and improvement of Paradise Creek Educational Park, a 4-acre park abutting the creek. This decade long endeavor was the catalyst for transformation of this neighborhood.
