Beverly Grove


Beverly Grove is a small neighborhood in the central region of the City of Los Angeles, California, abutting Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. There is one private elementary school. It is home to shopping and fashion districts, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, Sofitel Los Angeles, SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, the eight-story Beverly Center, and the Robertson Blvd. retail district.

The 2000 U.S. census counted 21,417 residents in the 1.65-square-mile neighborhood—an average of 12,990 people per square mile, fairly normal for Los Angeles. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 22,855. The median age for residents was 38, old for both the city and the county.

The percentage of white people living in the area, 82%, was high for Los Angeles County. Other ethnicities in 2000 were Latinos, 6%; Asians, 5,1%; blacks, 2%; and others, 4.9%. These figures made the neighborhood "not especially diverse." Iran (20.2%) and Poland (7.4%) were the most common places of birth for the 36.3% of the residents who were born abroad, a figure that was considered average for the city as a whole.

The median household income in 2008 dollars was $63,039, about average for Los Angeles. The average household size of 1.7 people was low for Los Angeles. Renters occupied 74.8% of the housing units, and house or apartment owners the rest.

The percentages of never-married men and women, 53.2% and 40.5%, respectively, were among the county's highest.

Beverly Grove is flanked by West Hollywood to the north, Fairfax and Mid-Wilshire to the east, Carthay to the south and Beverly Hills to the west. The neighborhood is bounded on the north and west by the Los Angeles city limits, on the east by Fairfax Avenue and on the south by Wilshire Boulevard and San Vicente Boulevard.
