If you are wondering where to find the most expensive real estate in Southern California, look no further,Beverly Hills Homes are some of the best of West Los Angeles homes does win the prize.The homes just sitting north of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills hold that title, beating out the estates in nearby Bel-Air and sunny beach homes and ranches ofMalibu. You will notice that (with the exception of the “Golden Triangle”) most of the homes and businesses south of Santa Monica Blvd are rather modest, by comparison.

Beverly Hills is a place for the fortunate few, or we could say the elite live in total comfort, and to shop and dine at their leisure in a secure environment. It just so happens that many of these fortunate are celebrities. On these citie’s tree-lined streets, you will see more stretch limos, shining Mercedes-Benzes, and sleek Ferraris per square mile than at any other place on earth. Even the fireplugs in Beverly Hills are painted a gleaming silver.

In this city pawn shops are called “collateral lenders,” and make quick loans on luxury cars instead of toasters. This is a city where some of the clothing stores require customers to make advance reservations to shop, and where shoppers may routinely drop $100,000ore. A city where the post office offers valet parking. This town’s “Sister City” is none other than Cannes, France.

In between Wilshire and Sunset Boulevards, you will find what is sometimes called “The Golden Triangle,” bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard (on the northwest), Wilshire Boulevard (on the south), and Canon Drive (on the east). Within the “Golden Triangle” is a grid of seven smaller commercial streets filled with specialty shops and restaurants. At the center of this triangle is Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills’ fabled shopping avenue.

While the homes south of Sunset Boulevard are beautiful, most of the city’s spectacular mansions are located north of Sunset.
