Behind The Gates: Beverly Park

Hidden within the affluent 90210, Beverly Park stands as a symbol of prestige. It transcends traditional residential neighborhoods, representing a world where privacy, composure, and unattainable luxury converge. The rich history, magnetic allure, architectural grandeur, and the elite celebrity residents place Beverly Park atop the podium of the world’s most coveted addresses.

Beverly Park’s legacy is deep-rooted. In the early 20th century, the community was originally an area purposed for a golf course and country club to be named after Dean Martin. However, the transformation of this land into the illustrious Beverly Park we know today was a vision realized by the developers Elliot Gottfurcht and Brian Adler.

In the late 1970s, the two, together with a set of investors, embarked on an ambitious endeavor, laying the groundwork for what would become South Beverly Park. His vision was nothing short of perfection, emphasizing the history of Los Angeles and the grand estates that would feel like the old world. Completed in 1990 as a 250-acre enclave divided into two separate lots, a 4-acre private park, and tons of open space, Beverly Park was a lofty dream and a destination to strive to reach. Over the decades, the area once deemed for a golf course and country club is now “an exclusive community club of its own,” said David Kramer, President of Hilton & Hyland.

The temptation of Beverly Park is magnetic, drawing the world’s most discerning and affluent individuals. Central to its allure is the unwavering commitment to privacy. Two fortified entrances guarded by security personnel grant residents unparalleled serenity and safety.

When Kramer recently sold 73 and 74 Beverly Park, “there was an opportunity to create a world of its own,” he said. Immediately after the sale, “We set out to raise the bar for proper luxury and set a new standard for excellence.” He explained that some renovation and imaginative projects aim at setting price records and stray from the purpose of a home. “Finding an address that checks all the boxes is rare, which is why the project we have brewing in Beverly Park is so special,” Kramer said.
