Living in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills occupies approximately 5.7 square miles within the Los Angeles basin, bordered by West Hollywood to the east, Los Angeles (Bel-Air, Holmby Hills, Century City) to the west and south, and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north. Its geography creates two distinct residential environments: the flat, grid-planned streets south of Santa Monica Boulevard known as the Flats, and the winding hillside estates north of Sunset Boulevard.[1]

Beverly Hills Neighborhoods

The Flats
From ~$4M

Tree-lined grid streets between Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards. North Roxbury, Bedford, and Elm Drives offer traditional estates on larger lots in a walkable, established setting.

Trousdale Estates
From ~$10M

A mid-century modern enclave above Sunset Boulevard, developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Known for single-story California modernist architecture and sweeping city views.

Beverly Hills Post Office
From ~$3M

Uses the 90210 ZIP code but sits within unincorporated Los Angeles County. Covers Coldwater Canyon, Benedict Canyon, and Mulholland Drive. Note: served by LAUSD, not BHUSD.

North BH Hills
Significant Acreage

North of Sunset Boulevard, within city limits. Prestigious streets including Loma Vista Drive, Lexington Road, and Carolwood Drive, where gated estate properties are common.

Beverly Hills Schools

Residential properties within the City of Beverly Hills are served by Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD). The district operates Beverly Hills High School, Beverly Hills Middle School, and four elementary schools: Hawthorne, El Rodeo, Horace Mann, and Kenter Canyon.[2]

Properties in the Beverly Hills Post Office area are typically served by Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), not BHUSD. This is a critical distinction for buyers with school-age children researching 90210 properties.

Beverly Hills Luxury Market

Beverly Hills is one of the most liquid luxury real estate markets in the United States, with consistent demand from domestic buyers, international buyers, and entertainment industry principals. The 90210 ZIP code regularly appears among the highest median sale price ZIP codes in the country, and off-market sales account for a significant portion of trophy property transfers.[3]

AKG Christie's, through its Beverly Hills office at 433 N Camden Dr, Suite 600, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, offers buyers and sellers direct access to the Christie's International Real Estate global network operating across 50 or more countries.
