The iconic palms and street signs of Beverly Hills are world-famous

Beverly Hills is instantly identifiable by the iconic palms along North Beverly Drive and the city’s famous street signs announcing its existence to all who enter and exit. Known as an international destination for shopping and dining, the world-famous 90210 zip code is a haven for high-end homes and residents seeking a life of luxury. However, some homeowners pay a particular tax for living a celebrity lifestyle. “They do movie star home tours and buses, or the TMZ van will drive up into the neighborhoods,” says Chief Executive Officer Julie Wagner of the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau. “Some drivers are very respectful, while others just stop in the middle of the street. That’s the cost of doing business here, though.” Despite its celebrity status, Wagner says the city feels like a close-knit community. “Beverly Hills has a small-town feel — it’s hard to walk down the street without seeing someone you know. And one of the great things about the city is that people really get involved at a community level through our events.”

Beverly Hills filled with about 35,000 residents and hosts millions of visitors.

Rodeo Drive is a see-and-be-seen shopping capital of the world

Beverly Hills is synonymous with two words that define luxury shopping on a global scale — Rodeo Drive. “If you want flagship stores of the biggest couture brands in the world, this is absolutely the place,” Wagner says. “And it’s not just the shopping; the buildings are beautiful, and everything is super sophisticated — Givenchy just took over a Frank Lloyd Wright building.” Drawing in over five million tourists annually, Rodeo Drive is one of the most popular attractions in Los Angeles County. But it’s not just for tourists, as locals and even celebrities are known to crawl the iconic two-mile stretch looking for the latest fashions in one of the see-and-be-seen shopping capitals of the world. “Rodeo is great for a very specific kind of store, but I like Beverly Drive because you see more approachable shops that you might see in a mall,” Wagner says. “That’s also where you have the Erewhon supermarket, which is organic, healthy and bougie. It’s trendy with Gen Z.”

The best way to describe the city's food scene is: "Jet set without the jet lag. You can eat around the world in Beverly Hills," Wagner says. At least nine restaurants on the manicured city streets have a Michelin distinction, including Spago, the flagship restaurant of world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck that opened in 1997. Post-pandemic, the dining scene in Beverly Hills is booming again, with nearly a dozen new restaurants opening between 2023 and 2024, many to substantial fanfare. "We have a really great lunch scene here. We're not a big city, but we swell to almost 200,000 people during the day, so many spots cater to that crowd," Wagner says.

Magnificent estate homes and high-end condos and townhomes

One of the most expensive zip codes in the world, the median home price in Beverly Hills was over $3.5 million in September 2024. That's compared to around $400,000 nationally and about $900,000 in broader California — and it's almost triple the cost of LA proper at $1.2 million. The city has a diversity of homes, from super-luxury, grand-scale estates to high-end condos, townhomes and apartments. In September 2024, the lowest-priced home in the city was around $1.5 million for a vintage three-bedroom, three-bath with about 1,300 square feet, while the highest was a $42 million contemporary stunner with seven bedrooms, 14 bathrooms and over 18,000 square feet. There isn't much room left to build single-family homes in Beverly Hills, so the housing development is predominantly medium and high-density, like the new condominium developments of the Rosewood Residences and Mandarin Oriental Residences, which have A-plus amenities and sell between $3 million and $10 million. "They're also developing new residences on a plot of land near the Beverly Hilton, which is a huge project. There's going to be a botanical garden there, too," Wagner says.

Continued evolution and renovation at Beverly Gardens Park

Beverly Hills has nearly a dozen public parks, gardens and recreation centers, and seven additional mini parks mean every home in the city is walkable to cultivated green space. Developed in 1907 and expanded in 1930, Beverly Gardens Park is the city’s crown jewel that stretches almost two linear miles from Wilshire Boulevard to North Doheny Drive along Santa Monica Boulevard. The city completed restorations of the iconic Beverly Hills monument sign and the lily pond in 2014, and added a beautiful electric fountain one year later. The sign is 40 feet long and illuminated, surrounded by a flora showcase. The perfect place for a photo op, the park features art installations, cactus and rose gardens, granite jogging paths and shady arbors.

The Rodeo Drive tree lighting ceremony is a calendar highlight

There is always something going on in Beverly Hills. Every spring and fall, the artSHOW occurs at Beverly Gardens Park. “It’s community-based, with some local artists and food vendors. People come in from neighboring areas, so we attract a good crowd,” Wagner says. A tribute to the city’s arts and culture, the two-day event attracts nearly 250 international and domestic artists and as many as 50,000 visitors twice a year. “The Rodeo Drive tree lighting ceremony ahead of the holidays is the calendar highlight. The community really comes together, and there’s entertainment and kids' activities,” Wagner says. “The city really goes all out for the holidays. The streets are just beautiful, and walking around at night is amazing.”

Ten-mile drive to downtown LA can take over an hour

Beverly Hills is about 10 miles west of downtown Los Angeles, a relatively short distance that can take over an hour to drive at rush hour. “LA is known for traffic, and it’s no different here — we’re really centrally located, so a lot of people cut through the city to get somewhere else,” Wagner says. “The canyons that lead up to the San Fernando are always congested at rush hour, and Sunset, Santa Monica and Wilshire boulevards are always busy.” But Wagner says that outside the main thoroughfares, residential streets are sleepy. The city lacks direct highway access — it’s around 3 miles west to Interstate 405 and about 6 miles east to U.S. Route 101. The central business district is just over 1 square mile and very pedestrian friendly, and there are a lot of bike lanes and street and garage parking for residents and visitors. There are bus stops along major thoroughfares, and there will eventually be two Metro stops here, one at La Cienega and the other at Wilshire Boulevard. To catch a flight, Hollywood Burbank Airport is about 15 miles north, and Los Angeles International is about 15 miles south. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is within the city.

Beverly Hills has its own emergency services like fire and police

“Beverly Hills is its own city, so we have our own police and fire departments here, while the surrounding areas are all LA County or LA City,” Wager says. “Emergency services have a three-minute response time, and we have more cameras per square mile than New York City.”

While the city has no records of wildfires in the last 40 years, smoke from a Central California wildfire drifted into the hills in 2021. Residents should always be aware of hazy skies and CalFire announcements during these situations, in addition to following year-round fire ordinances.

Violent crime in Beverly Hills is slightly lower than the national average and a little higher than the broader California average. In 2023, there were 108 violent crimes committed per 100,000 residents each month, compared to 115 in the U.S. and 105 in broader California. On the other hand, property crime is much higher in Beverly Hills than at the national and state levels. In 2023, there were over 400 property crime incidents per 100,000 residents each month, compared to around 165 nationally and about 200 in broader California.
