Beverly Crest

Beverly Crest is a residential neighborhood on Los Angeles's Westside that spreads across hilly terrain and canyons with single-family homes offering mountain views. Winding streets and low building density create a spacious feel with substantial distance between properties.

The area was acquired in 1923 by George Read, who developed it in 1926 by installing underground utilities, streetlights, and dividing the land into residential parcels. This early planning approach established the organized residential structure that exists today.

The neighborhood displays a mix of modern and traditional homes that reflect different phases of Los Angeles development, with residents shaping the character through their choices in house designs and landscaping.

The neighborhood is well-suited for exploration and offers convenient access to schools and local services within the Los Angeles education system. Exploring on foot or by car allows visitors to fully experience the varied streets and natural terrain.

The area witnessed an early real estate boom on the Westside where a single developer systematically opened an entire area in just one development phase, creating a model for future suburbs. This rapid growth remains visible today in the structured street layout and the absence of very old homes.
