With its central location in Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills gives residents easy access to everything the metro has to offer. The city is surrounded almost entirely by Los Angeles and West Hollywood. Downtown LA is just a 20 minute drive, and the Santa Monica Pier is only 16 minutes away.

Along with the LA neighborhoods of Holmby Hills and Bel Air, Beverly Hills is part of the prestigious Platinum Triangle - an affluent area with some of the most luxurious homes in the metro, as well as the most upscale dining and shopping.

Beverly Hills’ population soared from less than a thousand in the 1920s to around 17,000 just a decade later. With the population rising to over 30,000 in the 1960s, the city undertook efforts to slow down development in order to preserve the area’s natural features and maintain the community’s privacy and serenity. The population as of the 2010 Census is around 34,000, just a little more than the city’s population more than four decades ago.

Today, Beverly Hills is home not only to top personalities in the entertainment industry, but also young professionals, retirees, and families. The median household income is more than $100,000, significantly higher than the national median. It’s a highly educated community, with about 60% of the residents holding a Bachelor’s degree or higher.

The Beverly Hills community is a close-knit one. Residents gather at neighborhood hubs to participate in special and regular events like the weekly Farmers Market, outdoor concerts, and local festivals. The city’s Community Services Department actively provides various services to enhance and maintain the city’s beauty, exclusivity, and high quality of life.

The most recognizable landmarks in Beverly Hills are the historic hotels and resorts that first defined the lifestyle here. Of these, the Beverly Hills Hotel stands out as the most iconic. Built in 1912, it preceded Beverly Hills’ incorporation in 1914, and was considered the epicenter of glamour back in the day. Other historic resorts in the city include Beverly Wilshire, built in 1928, and The Beverly Hilton, which opened in 1955.

For more glimpses into the city’s history, stroll down Beverly Gardens Park, a linear park that stretches 1.9 miles along Santa Monica Boulevard. Opened in 1911, it was built on a portion of the Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas, once considered sacred land by Native Americans for the springs that formed there. The park features the equally historic Electric Fountain, as well as the popular Beverly Hills sign.

Greystone Mansion and Gardens is another prominent historical site in the city. Completed in 1930, this palatial home is among the grandest and oldest houses in Beverly Hills. It is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Beverly Hills is chock-full of excellent restaurants catering to diverse paletes. If you’re in the mood for something quick and casual, head down to one of the numerous cafes in the city. For that old school feel, try Brighton Coffee Shop, the city’s oldest coffee shop located at the corner of Brighton Way and North Camden Drive.

The top places to go for a culinary treat are longtime favorites that have become synonymous with the city. Restaurants like La Dolce Vita, Spago Beverly Hills, Fountain Coffee Room, Lawry’s The Prime Rib, and Il Cielo are perfect not only for an unforgettable lunch or dinner, but also for a slice of Beverly Hills history.

Along with these classics are dozens of other choices - both old and new establishments - offering a diverse array of cuisines, including French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, American, and more. La Cienega Boulevard, Beverly Hills’ original restaurant row, still hosts some of the best restaurants in the city.
