3 Best Neighborhoods to Live in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is a unique and desirable destination known for its luxurious lifestyle, high-end properties, and exclusive neighborhoods. Centrally located in Los Angeles, the city is ideal for residents wanting to be close to the city's entertainment, shopping, and dining scenes. There are many different neighborhoods in Beverly Hills for residents of any lifestyle. Here are three of the best neighborhoods in Beverly Hills.

The Flats is a neighborhood near Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, and Wilshire Boulevard. It is near Rodeo Drive and the major freeways in the area, making it easy to travel around Los Angeles. 

Near the vibrant center of Beverly Hills, there are many things to do around the Flats. The Beverly Hills Farmers Market opens every Sunday morning to provide fresh seasonal produce and products. There is also a Kid Zone with arts and crafts activities as well as a petting zoo. If you want to take a walk, Beverly Gardens Park has numerous paths to explore leading to their gardens, including one dedicated to succulents and another to roses. Head to the famous Rodeo Drive to find designer stores such as Balenciaga and Tom Ford when you need retail therapy.

South of the neighborhood is a variety of the most exquisite dining experiences. The Penthouse at Mastro’s is a chophouse offering decadent plates like steak and sushi in a plush supper-club setting. For a taste of delicious Asian cuisine, head to Tempura Endo which specializes in tempura and features a dining room for omakase tasting. Another delectable option is the Crustacean Beverly Hills, a renowned fish and Vietnamese restaurant serving creative cuisine with an attention-getting aquarium. Finally, experience the impeccable service, upscale atmosphere, and delectable dishes of The Belvedere whether you are in the mood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Residents have two school districts in Beverly Hills available to them: Beverly Hills Unified School District and Los Angeles Unified. Families in The Flats will love the excellent schools nearby, such as Beverly Hills High School and Horace Mann Elementary School.

The neighborhood's flat terrain makes it ideal for sprawling luxury homes. These homes are more traditional, and a few date back to the 1920s and 1930s, although more modern homes are in the neighborhood. Each property is typically between a quarter acre to over an acre in size, providing plenty of space and privacy. The Flats is also known for its lush greenery and tree-lined streets and houses Beverly Gardens Park, which features walking paths and a rose garden.

The Trousdale Estates are in the foothills north of Sunset Boulevard. This secluded and private neighborhood is surrounded by lush greenery and offers stunning city and nature views.

Set further away from the city, the Trousdale Estates has plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Spend a day hiking at Franklin Canyon Park and visit the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir. If you have a dog, the Laural Canyon Dog Park is nearby. Another place to visit is Mulholland Drive, about 15 minutes north of the Trousdale Estates. Here, you will find trails to explore, scenic overlooks to view, as well as the Mulholland Tennis Club for tennis players.

Although the Trousdale Estates is mainly a residential neighborhood, there are many wonderful restaurants in the area, such as the BOA Steakhouse, for a delicious steak dinner. For a more fun and quirky dining experience, have dinner at Barton G. The Restaurant Los Angeles, with creations such as lobster pop tarts served in a toaster and fun decor around the restaurant. Need a place for Sunday brunch? The French restaurant Petrossian Restaurant and Boutique is the perfect brunch spot, with its cafe and high-quality caviar. 

Due to the Trousdale Estates' location on the eastern side of Beverly Hills, students can attend schools like the West Hollywood Elementary School and Fairfax High School, along with the other Beverly Hills Unified schools. 

The community is known for its mid-century modern architecture from the 1950s and 1960s. Architecturally, the homes boast clean lines, open floor plans, and large windows. They are situated on large properties ranging from half an acre to over three acres in size. Residents can take advantage of the community's amenities, such as parks, tennis courts, a playground, and hiking trails.

The Beverly Hills Gateway is north of the Flats and west of the Trousdale Estates. It borders Franklin Canyon Reservoir, offering gorgeous nature views. Due to its location, this neighborhood provides much seclusion and privacy when escaping the bustle of the city.

Like the Trousdale Estates, Beverly Hills Gateway is set back from the heart of Beverly Hills. Families can take the kids to Coldwater Canyon Park to spend time on the playground or travel around the trails. For a peaceful and tranquil day trip, walk around the historic Virginia Robinson Gardens, with its early 1900s architecture and lush greenery. Golfers can also play a round at the Los Angeles Country Club or partake in the other amenities, including the Grill Room and Bar.

As the neighborhood is near Sunset Boulevard, it is easy for residents to enjoy its delicious restaurants and eateries. For upscale American fare, have a meal at The Polo Lounge, part of the Beverly Hills Hotel, or head to The Fountain Coffee Room for a lovely brunch. Anyone in the mood for an island or tropical atmosphere can have lunch poolside at The Cabana Cafe. For those who love Italian food and are looking for a place with a romantic atmosphere, have dinner at Amarone Kitchen and Wine for date night. 

Along with Beverly Hills High School, younger students in the Beverly Hills Gateway community can attend Hawthorne Elementary School, Warner Avenue Elementary School, and other schools within Beverly Hills Unified or Los Angeles Unified.  

The architecture of homes in Beverly Hills North varies from traditional styles to contemporary designs. Along with the modern-style homes in other Beverly Hills neighborhoods, many houses are designed with Mediterranean and modern architectural influences. From the red tiles and wrought iron accents of a Spanish Colonial home to the steeped roofs and stone accents of a French County estate, the Beverly Hills Gateway is full of houses with various architectural designs.
