Where the estates are

The Flats lie between Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, a grid of wide residential streets served by Beverly Hills Unified schools including El Rodeo, Horace Mann and Beverly Hills High.

Trousdale Estates sits in the hills above, with mid century architecture and protected views. See the Trousdale Estates guide.

For Buyers

What Is Hard to Find

Across Beverly Hills, buyers struggle most to find a finished, private estate in the Flats north of Santa Monica Boulevard, a mid century house in Trousdale Estates with its view intact, and a gated hillside compound in the Beverly Park area. Each of those segments trades only a handful of times a year, and the best examples often change hands before they reach public portals.

Notable Streets

In the Flats, North Roxbury Drive and North Crescent Drive have set recent benchmarks: 1017 North Roxbury sold for $22.5 million in June 2026, and The Real Deal reported 807 North Crescent, listed just under $25 million, going into contract in March 2026. Above Sunset, Beverly Park is home to 71 Beverly Park, which sold for $63.1 million in June 2025. See the dedicated Beverly Hills Flats guide for a street level view.

Lot Sizes

Lot sizes differ sharply by area. The Flats sit on a planned grid where depth and usable rear garden decide value. Trousdale Estates was laid out as about 410 acres in 532 lots, many shaped around views. Gated hillside enclaves offer larger, more private parcels. Always compare usable flat area, not just the gross figure. In Trousdale, a 1987 ordinance limits height to protect views, so what can be built on a parcel depends on its neighbors as much as on its size.

Architecture

The Flats mix period revival houses, traditional homes and contemporary new construction. Trousdale is known for mid century modern work by architects including Paul R. Williams, A. Quincy Jones and Wallace Neff. The hillside enclaves lean toward large contemporary and Mediterranean estates.

Price Ranges

City wide, Sotheby’s International Realty reported a median of $4.75 million and an average of $8.65 million in Q2 2026, and 47.9 percent of sales closed above $5 million. Estate homes trade far above those figures: $22.5 million on North Roxbury in June 2026 and $63.1 million at 71 Beverly Park in June 2025.

For Sellers

What Buyers Want

Beverly Hills buyers pay for the city’s schools, police and services, and they want the house to match the address: privacy from the street, a usable garden and pool, guest or staff space, secure parking and a turnkey interior. Hillside buyers add views and a gate to that list.

What Makes One Property Outperform Another

Block position in the Flats, view protection in Trousdale and privacy in the gated enclaves are the main drivers. After location, completed renovations with permits closed, generous ceiling heights and a strong indoor outdoor connection explain most of the price gap between otherwise similar homes.

Recent Notable Sales

71 Beverly Park sold for $63.1 million in June 2025 and appeared on Redfin’s list of the ten most expensive US home sales of 2025. In the Flats, 1017 North Roxbury Drive sold for $22.5 million in June 2026.

Pricing Considerations

City wide medians blend condos, Flats homes and hillside estates, so they are a poor guide to an individual estate. With 169 active listings and 62 average days on market in Q2 2026, buyers have choice; price against true comparables in the same sub area and condition.

Common Seller Mistakes

Pricing an unrenovated home as if it were finished, listing before the house is ready, and absorbing repeated public price cuts. In Trousdale, ignoring how view protection affects a buyer’s valuation is a frequent error.

Private Sale Opportunities

Many Beverly Hills owners prefer discretion. A private sale lets you test price with qualified buyers before any public record exists. If the response is strong, you may never need a public listing; if not, you launch publicly with real feedback on price. See our sell off-market page.
