'Beverlywood' is a district on the
West Side of
Los Angeles, California.
Geography and Transportation
Beverlywood is bordered by
Century City on the northwest,
Cheviot Hills on the west,
Culver City on the south,
Crestview on the east;
South Robertson on the north. The district's boundaries are roughly
Robertson Boulevard on the east; the Culver City limits on the south; Beverwil Drive and the Hillcrest Country Club on the west; and Monte Mar on the north. Beverlywood's principal thoroughfares are
Venice,
La Cienega, and
Robertson Boulevards; Beverwil Drive; and Cadillac and Cattaraugus Avenues.
The Neighborhood
Largely residential, Beverlywood is one of the centers of
Jewish life in Los Angeles. Renowned
Nazi-hunter
Simon Wiesenthal's
Museum of Tolerance is adjacent to Beverlywood, in Los Angeles (and not, as is commonly thought, in Beverly Hills). The neighborhood is also home to a modest
Persian population (many of which also adhere to
Judaism).
Almost all of Beverlywood's inhabitants live in single-family homes built between the 1920s and the 1950s, with the oldest homes in the areas near Beverly Hills. Beverlywood contains very few apartment buildings. Contained within the district's area is the
Beverlywood Homes Association. The association is considered one of the most powerful in Los Angeles, having successfully fought off the 1960s up-
zoning that occurred in areas such as Palms and
West Los Angeles. Homes located within the boundaries of the association generally sell for higher prices than those outside of it, perhaps due to the strict enforcement of
restrictive covenants by the association. The boundaries of the association area are roughly Robertson Blvd. on the east, Airdrome St. on the north, Rancho Park on the west, and Cattaraugus Avenue on the south.
