About Beverly Hills Flats
The Beverly Hills Flats consist of the area in the flatlands of Beverly Hills, California, the center of the world’s most prestigious zip code. The Flats generally refers to single family homes located North of Santa Monica, South of Sunset, West of Doheny and East of Whittier.
Properties in the Flats sit on lots that are larger than most other lots in surrounding areas. They average between 11,000-15,000 square feet, with larger lots ranging from 18,000 to 40,000 square feet. There is a mix of old Hollywood, modern architecture, well maintained Colonials and newer construction on each street.
Each street maintains a unique tree. Beverly Drive is famous for its tall and swaying palm trees, while Maple Drive has matching maple trees lined from Santa Monica to Sunset Boulevards. In fact, Beverly Hills has been recognized as Tree City USA by the Arbor Foundation.
Here are some other things you’ll want to know about the Flats:
• Two of the Beverly Hills Unified schools are located in the Flats. El Rodeo is on Whittier Drive and Hawthorn Elementary is on Rexford Drive.
