Bel Air

Bel Air

Bel Air is nestled in a secluded yet coveted hilly area, along the Santa Monica Mountains, just north of Beverly Hills and above Sunset Boulevard, in a prestigious gated community with optimal privacy and high security. Lavish homes, large residences and luxurious mansions fill the neighborhood along windy roads with lush green grass, tall trees and beautiful gardens. Panoramic views of the Los Angeles area and San Fernando Valley will take your breath away and leave you in awe especially when the cities light up at night. It is located near the 405 Freeway, south of the infamous twisty street of Mulholland Drive. It is still considered to be a part of the Los Angeles County so the services of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Fire Department are provided to the community in addition to other resources such as ATD/Bel Air Patrol and ACS Security. Styles of homes range from traditional and classic to French, Spanish and ranch style to modern and contemporary. There have been a few television and movie productions filmed in Bel Air such as The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, with A-List movie actor Will Smith, and The Beverly Hillbillies, where scenes of the mansion were filmed here. It is also home to numerous celebrities such as, Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Joni Mitchell and Chris Paul as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock, President Ronald Reagan & Nancy Reagan, who’ve lived here in the past.
