Bel Air

Welcome to Bel Air

Relaxing, iconic surroundings in a mountainous terrain.

A true spectacle of affluent living with the convenience of the proximity to a major city, Bel Air sits in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. The name itself rings bells, and all for a good reason. As home to many affluent residents, the neighborhood is full of beautiful homes, many of which will rank as the most impressive builds you’ve ever seen. Framed by the verdant mountains, homes are spaced far apart and accented by massive lawns and amenities. Founded in 1923, the community has been a pillar of tranquil luxury for almost a hundred years.

Bel Air has achieved its legendary status from the remarkable people that call it home and the stunning properties found amongst its privatized, winding streets. You’ll find a mix of massive estates with classic architecture, modern mansions with funky geometrical builds and glass fronts, and quaint French-style chateaus. Known for being a place to retreat and relax away from the busy stresses of nearby life in Los Angeles, finding peace within the neighborhood is an effortless feat. Many houses are set far into their lots, with long driveways or gated entrances, so exploring the streets of your new residence will be a calming and quiet experience where you can focus on genuinely appreciating the atmosphere.

Local Lifestyle

Among the quiet community, you can find people you might also find on a big screen, song, or c-level executive in major industries. In addition to the architecture, the residents add to the notorious prestige. People are proud to call Bel Air home and enforce it by taking immaculate care of their neighborhood. Hedges, bushes, and trees are pristinely pruned and watered, streets and sidewalks are kept clean, and the air is freshly powered by the surrounding greenery. Combine this with the beautiful homes in the area, and people adore going for a stroll around their property or down the neighborhood streets. Aside from the movement of everyday outings or children playing, the community is relaxed and free of excessive noise pollution. This is ideal, allowing everyone to rest and have fun when they need to, so their energy is replenished when it’s time to finish another lucrative day at work.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Even on an estate home with a five-star kitchen, you’ll want to get out for a meal every now and then. Bel Air is great for this, housing delicious options like the Wolfgang Puck restaurant. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails, the menu is packed full of innovative Mediterranean meals made with the finest ingredients. The vibe is as esteemed as the menu, so should you prefer something slightly more casual but with the same quality, head to Polo Lounge. Fully outfitted in art-deco decor, Californian cuisine is served alongside white tablecloths, pink flowers, and pink floors.

A sweet tooth can be soothed at Diddy Riese Cookies, a red-painted bakery with confections so good they warrant standing in line. Cookies, brownies, ice cream, and other sweet treats from Diddy Riese are said to be the best in town.

Things to Do

If you find yourself needing a stay of luxury while closing on your new home, visit the Bel Air Hotel. Every bit of the hotel is laced in true five-star luxury and reverberates the atmosphere of the neighborhood without missing a beat. Should scenic views be of interest to you, cruising down Mullholland Drive is a great way to get acquainted with your new community. Spanning more than 20 miles, this scenic route and overlook gives way to what are easily the best views of Los Angeles.

The Getty Center is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in modern art and gardens. If you’re headed toward the coast, the Getty Villa Museum in Pacific Palisades is an equally exciting option. Home to Greek and Roman antiques and art, the museum is fashioned as a re-created Roman home – the only one like it in the area.
