Beautiful palm tree lined-streets with mansions for sale, word-class shopping, and glamor define Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills houses are usually tucked away behind large gates to provide residents much needed privacy and every inch of space is manicured. Perfectly polished with designer details all around town, most neighborhoods in Beverly Hills boast beautiful foliage and public green spaces.
Now let’s take a tour of one of the most well-known zip codes in the world – 90210. The city of Beverly Hills is divided into two sections, commonly referred to as north and south of the tracks. Beverly Hills residents still refer to the neighborhoods located north of Santa Monica Boulevard up to Mulholland Drive as north of the tracks, and downtown plus nearby residential areas south of Santa Monica Boulevard as south of the tracks. It is also important to note that located just outside of Beverly Hills, but also providing amazing mansions for sale, is Holmby Hills. Including grand historic estates as well as mega modern mansions, it is another one of Los Angeles’ top neighborhoods for luxury real estate.

With the slogan, “A life above it all”, the area offered celebrities and socialites unobstructed views of Beverly Hills and the greater LA area – and it still does.
The area offers a very natural setting with plenty of lush landscaping and trees, as well as a relaxed vibe in Beverly Hills California.

Sitting between Sunset and Santa Monica Bouldevards is a neighborhood called The Flats.

Beverly Hills real estate in The Flats ranges from French chateaus and Spanish revival to ultra modern abodes.
These distinctive tree-lined streets are always filled with morning dog walks, joggers, evening strolls, and more because it offers gorgeous local sights such as the Lily Pond, Beverly Hills sign, and even sculptures.

Santa Monica Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Doheny Road, and Whittier Boulevard form the area’s borders.
3. Beverly Hills Gateway
North of the Flats is the Beverly Hills Gateway, which is home to iconic Beverly Hills attractions like the Beverly Hills Hotel, known as the Pink Palace among locals. Enter through Benedict and Coldwater Canyons and start your climb deeper into the Santa Monica Mountains.
This is where you will find most of the residential homes in the city, however there are several other landmarks of note such as Will Rogers Memorial Park and Greystone Mansion. A Tudor Revival featured in several films such as Batman & Robin and The Big Lebowski, Greystone Mansion was once the most expensive house in California when it was built in 1928.
