The area received the 90210 ZIP code in 1963, extending postal services to properties beyond Beverly Hills city limits. This designation allowed residents living outside the city to maintain Beverly Hills addresses.
Entertainment industry figures and wealthy residents appreciate the spacious properties and closeness to Beverly Hills while maintaining their own distinct neighborhood.
This residential area is served by Los Angeles instead of Beverly Hills, meaning emergency services, schools, and infrastructure come from the city of Los Angeles. Keep in mind that private roads run through the neighborhood and access to certain areas may be restricted.
Residents can use Beverly Hills mailing addresses while benefiting from Los Angeles services and property rates, creating an unusual situation where postal and municipal boundaries differ.
