Beverly Park, Los Angeles
October 28th, 2008A few days ago I found a very posh area in Los Angeles while surfing on Live Maps. First I had no idea which area in L.A. it could be, but according to this article on Forbes it’s “Beverly Park”, an exclusive, gated community for the very very upperclass. It’s the highest accumulation of mega swimming pools and tennis courts I’ve ever seen.
