LIVING IN BEL AIR

Bel Air is one of the three communities (along with Holmby Hills and Beverly Hills) making up the Platinum Triangle in Los Angeles. Located among the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, Bel Air was designed as an estates community when it was first founded and developed by Alphonzo E. Bell in 1923.

Bel Air real estate is governed by local ordinances regulating lot size, architectural styles, and forbidding almost all multi-family housing, which explains, in part, why Bel Air has the highest median household income of any area in Los Angeles and is among the areas with the lowest population density in Los Angeles with only 8,261 residents in six square miles.

​

The community is approximately 17 miles west of downtown Los Angeles and includes some of the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and borders the north side of UCLA along Sunset Blvd. At the heart of the community sits the exclusive Bel Air Country Club and the Hotel Bel Air.

Walk Score is a number between 0 and 100 that measures the walk ability of any address. Walkability has many health, environmental, and economic benefit and has increasingly become important to neighborhood statistics and thus the real estate market.
