About Bel Air

Bel Air occupies a singular position in the hierarchy of Los Angeles real estate. Tucked between Beverly Hills and Westwood behind staffed guard gates, its winding roads and dense landscaping create an enclave of genuine privacy that has attracted generations of the world's most notable figures.

The estates here are among the largest and most architecturally significant in the city — from Beaux-Arts mansions to contemporary masterworks by the world's leading architects. The neighborhood's unique topography provides dramatic elevation changes that reward those at the summit with views extending from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. Bel Air is not a neighborhood you stumble upon — it is a deliberate choice made by those who know precisely what they want.
