Beverly Hills Staycation: The Best Places to Sleep, Play and Eat in Beverly Hills
by Cindy Ambuehl on January 30, 2012I’ve been spending so much time in Beverly Hills lately! Since the first day of opening my doors on my new listing, I’ve been in Beverly Hills numerous times a week. Being here so much reminded me why I love the neighborhood.

Renting versus Buying: Making the Decision to Rent or Buy in Los Angeles
by Martha Keagan on November 8, 2011When looking for a place to live, people put a lot of thought into location, amenities and cost, but they often overlook the first question to ask themselves at the beginning of any house or apartment hunt: “Should I rent or buy?” People usually begin the process with a preconceived notion of what they’re going to do; unfortunately, that notion isn’t always based on careful consideration, soul-searching or research, but rather on what their coworker, family member or best friend told them to do.
Halloween in Beverlywood: A Trick-or-Treater’s Mecca

Chow Down with Your Hound: Dog Friendly Restaurant Patios in Beverly Hills
by Monica Nakamine on September 29, 2011In dog-centric Los Angeles, there are many places to eat that cater to the “human-with-dog” clientele. Beverly Hills is filled with many dog friendly establishments that keep canines in mind.
In terms of equal rights, however, dogs are mostly limited to outside patios, with owner and leash in tow. But, isn’t that better than leaving your pooch at home or trapped inside your car (which is illegal, by the way) while you guiltily enjoy your “double tall skinny latte” or Waldorf salad? Woof! (Yes!)
Parking Tickets are Expensive: Beverly Hills Waives Erroneous Parking Tickets as a Courtesy
by Joseph West on September 16, 2011In cities like Los Angeles, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills an average parking ticket is around $60.00, if not more. Drivers often get issued parking tickets in error and usually pay them rather than try to contest the fees because the process is lengthy and usually unsuccessful. However, in the city of Beverly Hills, you need only apply to get your fee waived (but only the first time).
