Bel Air

Overview

Bel Air is a timeless retreat nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, where winding roads lead to privacy, lush greenery, and some of Los Angeles’ most coveted addresses. From the legendary Hotel Bel-Air to the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club, this neighborhood offers more than prestige — it offers a feeling of escape. Here, ocean breezes and hillside views create a sense of calm, while the city’s energy remains just minutes away.

Lifestyle

Bel Air offers more than just an address — it offers a way of life. Rolling hills and winding streets create a sense of privacy, while sweeping views of the city, canyons, and even the ocean remind you that you’re in one of the most coveted places in the world. Mornings might begin with coffee on a sunlit terrace, the air carrying the scent of jasmine, or a quiet stop at a favorite café nearby. Architectural variety is part of the charm — from stately Mediterranean villas to sleek modern estates, each with its own unique character and story. Many properties are set on generous lots with manicured gardens, pools, and outdoor entertaining spaces. Shopping and wellness are just minutes away, with luxury boutiques, designer flagships, exclusive spas, and boutique fitness studios in nearby Beverly Hills. Evenings bring the choice of hosting friends in lantern-lit gardens, dining under the stars, or visiting world-class restaurants such as those at the Hotel Bel-Air. Here, beauty, comfort, and privacy blend into a lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortlessly natural.

Schools

Bel Air is served by top-rated public schools such as Warner Avenue Elementary and Roscomare Road Elementary. Many families also choose elite private options nearby, including Harvard-Westlake, Marymount, and Curtis School. The neighborhood’s central yet secluded location makes school commutes both convenient and scenic.
