Live in ultimate luxury at the exclusive Bel Air community
Sequestered by the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and tucked between Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard, Bel Air is one of the most iconic neighborhoods in Los Angeles. With famed television shows and movies such as “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Strangers When We Meet,” Bel Air is heralded by popular culture as an exclusive enclave for celebrities and eminent billionaires. Residents enjoy a gated lifestyle with luxurious homes and privacy, various trails and outdoor opportunities amid the Santa Monica Mountains, premier entertainment destinations along the Pacific Coast and the quintessential California sunshine. “This is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods with the most expensive homes in the entire country. It is at the top of the food chain and has arguably the best zip code,” says Aaron Kirman, CEO at Christie’s AKG with 27 years of experience. “There is an overwhelming demand for Bel Air because of the exquisite large lots that offer lots of privacy and security.”

Distinguished estates dot the hillsides of Bel Air
Known for the architectural grandeur of the residences enveloped by the hillsides, Bel Air is home to some of the most expensive and well-known estates in the world, including the opulent French manor Chateau des Fleurs that sprawls over 10 acres, The One, a modern mansion over 100,000 square feet sold for $141 million, and the 1930s neoclassical-style Casa Encantada, which was twice sold at record high prices and is currently listed at $195 million. “Bel Air is renowned as the most elite neighborhood both in terms of price point and people who buy them,” Kirman says. Many of Bel Air’s multi-million-dollar 1920s and 1930s palazzos are over 10,000 square feet with infinity pools, gated private entryways, lavish landscaping and natural fencing made of tall trees and groves for privacy. The lot sizes are between a half-acre and over 5 acres, with elaborate architectural designs that range from classical Greek Revivals, Italianate and French Influence to English Tudor Revivals, Mediterranean Revivals and contemporary styles. Properties between $5 million and $10 million typically go from 5,000 square feet to under 10,000 square feet, with many built after the 1950s to the present day. Smaller cottages, midcentury modern and ranch styles may fetch between $1 million and $5 million. Due to the area’s geographical locale, area homes may be under wildfire and earthquake risks, and homebuyers are recommended to purchase home insurance.

Recreation at the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club
Ranked by Golf Digest as “one of the best golf courses in the country,” Bel-Air Country Club offers a premier 18-hole course featuring a suspension bridge and an elevator to transport residents through the steep terrain. “Bel Air Country Club is one of the most exclusive clubs in America, and people like to be part of it for golf as well as social,” Kirman says. Club members may also be involved in charity tournaments and USGA Championships. The community’s proximity to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Mountains provides for various watering and hiking opportunities. Getty View Park is home to the Getty View Trail, which features a bird-eye view of the cityscape. The Stone Canyon Overlook on Mulholland Drive offers another accessible trail and a panoramic vista of the mountains surrounding the valley reservoir. Adjacent to the Santa Monica Mountains, Bel Air residents can also hike or ride horses along the various mountain trails, including the Canyonback Trail.

Navigating Los Angeles
While the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority provides bus and rail services throughout the county, nearly all Bel Air residents commute by car. Beverly Hills is less than 7 miles away, and Venice Beach and Santa Monica are about 10 miles west of Bel Air. Hollywood is approximately 5 miles to the east and Los Angeles International Airport is about 12 miles down south.
