Beverly Hills vs. Bel Air

Bel Air is extra moneyed. More dear homes. Its a residential neighborhood no longer a city.

This might sound facile but it is beautiful profound as regards where to live or do industry - Beverly Hills is an independent municipality. Bel Air is a district in Los Angeles. Everything from school taxes to development codes is different.

... And we're from Beverly Hills

BIG distinction

If you must ask you can't have enough money to are living in either.

^ Most folks can not even come up with the money for Watts, a lot less BH and BA

I do not understand the query and I won't reply to it.

Beverly Hills was once idyllic position to reside in 60’s and 70’s

Some of us cherished Beverly Hills such a lot that we refuse to depart...

R4 Of route the house used in The Beverly Hillbillies is in Bel Air.

The primary distinction is that every one of Bel-Air is regarded as “good” because the group starts north of Sunset; whilst Beverly Hills is part north of Sunset and part south of Sunset, so one can declare to live in Beverly Hills whilst living within the “unwanted” flats. Note that there's nothing terribly undesirable about the residences, the ones are the parts of Beverly Hills we see on TV with the rows of huge fingers and the Beverly Hills protect signs, but snobs will make anything into elitist nonsense. The portions of “desirable” Beverly Hills and Bel Air are mainly equivalent, with mansions hidden at the back of massive hedges clinging to the hills.

Actually will proper my put up to say just a 3rd of Beverly Hills right kind is above Sunset; the opposite 3rd between Sunset and Santa Monica is the portions we see within the tv shows with the palm bushes and mansions uncovered to the road; and the portions underneath Santa Monica include downtown and some reasonably mundane residential streets with smaller but typically great properties.

I was gonna say Persians.

Bel-Air’s east and west gates are along Sunset Boulevard, and the elevation increases as you drive further into Bel-Air. Most homes are behind tall hedges, partitions, and gates and can't be seen from the road. Lots of winding and really tight roads as you force further north into the hills. Feels very serene and there’s not a ton of site visitors and little retail and eating places, outside of the Bel-Air hotel.

The space of Beverly Hills close to the Beverly Hills lodge is surprising. Huge properties sit again along winding, broad thoroughfares. Further north, in the hills Bel-Air and Beverly Hills are indistinguishable. Downtown Beverly Hills’ retail district, including Rodeo Drive, is exactly how it seems on television. Beverly Hills feels very historic and previous, however now not in an unkempt method, however driving through you’re instantly aware that there’s numerous historical past there.

Beverly Hills has homeless encampments. Bel-Air does no longer (even though the rest of Los Angeles does).

Beverly Hills = Persians Persians Persians

Bel Air - Wealthy, but now not all that showy

Do the rich LA homosexual boys reside in Bel Air or Beverly Hills?

Bel Air is much higher, less tacky

"Do the rich LA gay boys live in Bel Air or Beverly Hills? "

Wherever their sugar daddies reside

First of all, it’s properly written Bel-Air. I grew up there, and my brother and I still personal our circle of relatives home. We’ve been leasing it to the same Iranian-Jewish family for the past 22 years. So all of the “Persians” don’t reside in Beverly Hills. Bel-Air wasn’t as nearly as fenced and gated when I was a boy as it's now. Although all of the original houses there were somewhat large, the rage has been for the older properties to be demolished and replaced with gigantic monstrosities. The “flash” related to Beverly Hills is now creeping into Bel-Air. Really regrettable!

Schools, colleges, schools!

Are you and your brother additionally fans R23?

R25. We suppose not, however we do love each and every other.

Bel-Air is just about all residential. Beverly Hills has fairly a large business/retail house.

People with taste reside in Brentwood.

People with real money live in Pacific Palisades.

R24. It’s true that Beverly Hills schools are extraordinarily excellent. Young individuals who reside in Bel-Air attend Los Angeles city colleges. The high school for Bel-Air children is University High, which is supposed to be pretty good. However, most kids in Bel-Air almost certainly cross to private schools. We did.

R27. I feel the only in point of fact industrial development in Bel-Air is the Bel-Air Hotel. Other than that, there’s the Bel-Air Country Club and Harvard-Westlake School, which is private.

Holmby Hills stretches along the southern portion of Sunset Boulevard that delineates Bel-Air, and is an overly tiny group of enormous, very expensive estates starting within the $20MM+ range.

There are currently simplest 3 properties on the market in Holmby Hills they usually’re all north of $65MM. Out of the 3 Platinum Triangle cities, Holmby Hills has probably the most cachet for my part.

Holmby Hills is the place the Playboy and former Spelling mansions are situated and numerous celebrities reside together with Kylie Jenner, P-Diddy, and Jaclyn Smith.

Although it has the most cachet, Holmby Hills is flat and not more interesting than hilltop houses in Bel-Air and Beverly Hills.

Most school age kids in Beverly Hills or Bel-Air move to non-public college. Beverly Hills High is just right through California requirements, however not exceptional. It pulls in a large number of scholars from poorer and economically disadvantaged spaces, in contrast to Chicago’s New Trier or Dallas’ Highland Park High School.

There’s additionally tons of overseas money within the Platinum Triangle, from Russian oligarchs to Chinese tech millionaires and Middle Eastern oil heirs. These folks purchase properties as a safe investment vehicle to park their cash.

Despite this, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Holmby Hills are 80%+ white.

Where is Lisa Vanderpump’s Villa Rosa?

Cologny, Genève and Mayfair, London say pfff!

"There are currently only three homes for sale in Holmby Hills and they’re all north of $65MM. Out of the three Platinum Triangle cities, Holmby Hills has the most cachet in my opinion.

Holmby Hills is where the Playboy and former Spelling mansions are located and countless celebrities live including Kylie Jenner, P-Diddy, and Jaclyn Smith."

Your first sentence is disproved by way of your second sentence.

Speaking strictly from an architectural viewpoint, Beverly Hills is awesome to Bel-Air; but Pacific Palisades leaves them both in the dust.

[quote] Most school age youngsters in Beverly Hills or Bel-Air go to private college. Beverly Hills High is just right via California standards, but not outstanding. It pulls in numerous scholars from poorer and economically deprived areas,

This is patently false with the exception of the part about BHHS no longer being outstanding.

It could be very Persian because that is who lives in Beverly Hills. (See link beneath and the "word that best describes students in your school" (which could also be 70% white, now not 80%)

The best youngsters who can attend BHHS are living in Beverly Hills which, as others have noted, is a separate town and no longer a part of Los Angeles and thus no longer part of the LA Unified School District.

There are for sure many children in Beverly Hills who pass to personal faculty as a result of wealthy people ceaselessly send their youngsters to personal faculty, irrespective of the quality of the public schools. And because they don't need their children going to a school that is most commonly Persian, Persian Jews to be exact--it's an overly insular group.

Given the character of LA and show industry, the connections that may be made at Harvard-Westlake, Brentwood or Windward are reason enough for families to steer clear of BHHS

^^Kids in Bel Air cross to non-public faculty because LA public faculties don't seem to be excellent, therefore the huge collection of personal faculties within the town,. But so do youngsters in Brentwood and Los Feliz and Pacific Palisades, and so forth.

R37. Very true concerning the importance of connections made in school. My father and grandfather worked within the film business. Although my brother and I went to Harvard School (earlier than it merged with Westlake School for Girls), I don’t remember it as being very showbizzy after we have been there. Numerous the film brats went to Chadwick, as I recall. Like Liza Minnelli and Christina Crawford.

[quote]People with real cash are living in Pacific Palisades.

People with actual cash who do not need to are living in one of these high-profile, too "LA" places, live in San Marino, Bradbury, Rolling Hills, Manhattan Beach, or La Canada Flintridge.

Jonathan and Jennifer Hart selected to reside in Bel-Air. He used to be a self-made millionaire, and reasonably a man. She was gorgeous, an awesome woman who is aware of learn how to handle herself. So, suck it Beverly Hills.

Isn’t Harvard Westlake in Studio City?

We are higher than all of you and wish to be left out of this dialogue.

R11 made me think of that line from Clueless when Josh tells off Cher for appearing like there is no difference between her housekeeper being from Mexico or Guatemala, when Cher herself would had been appalled if someone thought she lived beneath Sunset!

R42. Some time after the merger of Harvard and Westlake colleges, they established a campus in Studio City as the higher faculty. The campus in Bel-Air is now the center faculty.

Did you live next door to Elizabeth? (Please say yes)

R46. Who, me? No. Taylor lived on Nimes Road. We had been on Bellagio. Also, our time frames didn’t overlap.

My figuring out R45 is that personal college in LA wasn't much of a thing until busing, that plenty of now top colleges, like Brentwood School most effective date again as far as that generation.

R39, Dominique Dunne, Jami Lee Curtis and in all probability Carrie fisher went to Westlake .

How about Pasadena? Do numerous rich other people live there?

Always suppose it’s bizarre there isn’t a larger distinction between areas of LA which might be separate cities - like WeHo and Beverly Hills - and simply common portions of LA like Bel Air or Brentwood. Seems like taxes, police, services and products should be very different - because the towns can just fund their very own wealthy selves,

Those non-public school women all the time know the place to find the booze and the men!

R39 Chadwick, in Palos Verdes the place the actual Old Money (like portions of Pasadena) lives. Beverly Hills. Bel Air... the westside and so on are just a little nouveau... déclassé. Wor

Manhattan Beach isn't "LA glitzy"??? Are you nuts? Have you ever been there?

This thread should come with this disclaimer:

*Most evaluations are from circa 1992.

I believe I’m going to lunch at Spago the next day!

r54 Where was once the word "glitzy" mentioned? I intended that Manhattan Beach is rather removed from LA right kind (BH, the west aspect, and so forth.) The South Bay is like a totally different position.

1992 is being rather generous R55

It's one of the most odder issues about DL--the Eldergays I know IRL don't seem to be frozen in amber a long time up to now.

Neither of them is Santa Barbara.

R57 confuses the DL with "IRL," an nameless website with "IRL," and sardonic humor with her humorlessness and that of her bar companions in "IRL."

But then she's only a tyke at 57.

The truly cool wealthy celebs are living in Malibu Colony.

No one "lives" in Malibu you dumb fuck. They spend weekends at their homes within the colony.

LOL R61, you will have to are living in flyover country.

A chum of mine, who's a widely recognized pop famous person, used to are living in Malibu, complete time, except she was traveling.

The first time I noticed Malibu I used to be really disenchanted. Multi-million buck seaside homes proper on PCH, but the hills above are stunning

[quote] Chadwick, in Palos Verdes the place the actual Old Money (like parts of Pasadena) lives. Beverly Hills. Bel Air... the westside and so forth are just a bit nouveau... déclassé. Wor

ROFL “Old LA Money” is like individuals who moved over from Indiana and Ohio within the 1890. I omit the identify of the old movie however one personality boasts about her circle of relatives’s roots in Los Angeles and every other personality quips, “So you’re from Iowa?”

And the explanation why the Westside communities and UCLA exist at all is as a result of the ones Midwestern pricks in Pasadena, Hancock Park and USC sought after nothing to do with the film industry and the individuals who based it - rhymes with PEWS.
