Bel-Air
is one of those “magical places” where everywhere one turns
there are magnificent homes and estates…tree-lined streets
that wind above famous Sunset Boulevard…the ultimate
California lifestyle. Bel-Air, just 10 miles square, is
truly one of America’s unique and prestigious addresses.
With Westwood and UCLA to the south, Holmby Hills and
Beverly Hills to the east, and the beautiful Mulholland
corridor and Santa Monica Mountains to the north, Bel-Air is
situated at the apex of the Los Angeles’s famous Westside.
To the West and across the 405 freeway, many Bel-Air estates
and homes view the Getty Center, surely one of the world’s
most renowned museums.
Homes
and estates in Bel-Air consistently rank in the top tier in
both value and price. Elvis Presley lived in a number of Bel
Air homes during his life in Hollywood, and of course,
Bel-Air is the home to the Who’s Who of business, media, and
the entertainment world. The prestigious and exclusive
Bel-Air Country Club offers one of the most beautiful golf
challenges on the West Coast, and the famous Hotel Bel Air
is ranked as one of the top luxurious small hotels in the
world, situated in one of the many lush canyons and arroyos
that wind down from the Santa Monica Mountains.
And who would have thought that Bel-Air is home to one of
the world’s most famous boutique vineyards – Moraga
Vineyards, 16 acres of merlot, chardonnay and cabernet
sauvignon grapes. Moraga Vineyards is located on Moraga
Drive, on Bel-Air’s western edge.
There are limited number of apartments and offices in
Bel-Air, which is part of the City of Los Angeles. There are
two neighborhood shopping centers in the community – one at
the top of Roscomare and the other, The Glenridge Center, at
the top of Beverly Glen and Mulholland Drive. (One of my
favorite new restaurants is Vibrato Grill Jazz, located at
Glenridge, and features live modern jazz and New American
cuisine.)
Serious
shopping is available right next door at Beverly Hills,
Century City, and Sherman Oaks, which is across the hills in
the Valley.
Bel-Air, truly a unique community for the discriminating
homeowner. It’s magical.
