Private area of truly massive homes and very, very rich celebrities, producers, billionaires and no one else. While they average 20,000–30,000 square feet, dwellings must be above 5,000 square feet. Established in 1990, the 250-acre (100 ha) community was built by Los Angeles-developers Brian Adler and a partner using land that was originally intended to be a golf course named after Dean Martin. It originally contained 64 two-acre (0.8 ha) lots, a 4-acre (1.6 ha) landscaped park and over 100 acres (40 ha) of open space; a number of adjacent lots have been purchased and combined for larger estates. The vacant lots originally sold for US$3.5 million to $6 million each, but the prices have since increased. The price of a complete home is $10 million for the smaller homes and can reach up to $35+ million for the largest homes.

The neighborhood's main artery is located just south of Mulholland Drive, north of San Ysidro Drive, west of Coldwater Canyon Drive and east of the Beverly Glen neighborhood. Located in the 90210 ZIP Code, the neighborhood is considered a part of Beverly Hills.

Because of its seclusion and security, including security cameras and constant patrols by guards, the neighborhood is popular among wealthy celebrities and business executives. The residents of Beverly Park have included Avi Arad, Barry Bonds, Magic Johnson, Martin Lawrence, Reba McEntire, Mike Medavoy, Eddie Murphy, Sumner Redstone, Haim Saban, Sylvester Stallone, Rod Stewart, Steven Udvar-Hazy, Denzel Washington, and Richard Zanuck.
