Introducing Bel Air

If Los Angeles had a fairy kingdom, Bel Air would be it. Anyone to enter its grandiose perimeter gates and wind through the verdant backdrop here is sure to reminisce about a favorite storybook. All 6.37 square miles of this elite community shimmer with ball-gown grace.

The lucky Bel Air dweller may be found jogging the rolling hills of this safe, quiet neighborhood, or zipping toward the fresh mountain air of the scenic Mullholland drive. Inside these fences, traffic comes to a halt - a happily ever after in its own right. And all along the way is a visual treat; refurbished pilgrim style homes pay homage to the Brother's Grimm, while more modern houses are also a delightful sight. From Elizabeth Taylor to Kanye West, there's something for everyone.

Bel Air Country Club adds to the enchanting greenery, with one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. And an evening at the fabled Vibrato Jazz Grill is a majestic selection for premier live music and delicious food.

Heading out the East or West Gate, neighboring dominions will include Brentwood, Westwood, and Beverly Hills, all of which offer more dining amid the five-diamond crowd. UCLA, a high-pedigreed land of its own, is an illustration of student life just across Sunset Boulevard outside the West Gate.
