Beverly Park, Los Angeles
If you don't feel at home unless you're surrounded by a "Who's Who?" of celebrities, then Beverly Park is the community for you. With about 80 well-manicured homes nestled in the hills above Los Angeles, it's actually two gated communities, North Beverly Park and South Beverly Park. Luminaries live in both, but those in the know say the northern estates are more opulent.
Prepare to be cleared at the guardhouse before entering this refuge, where multimillion-dollar mansions have housed actors, media kingpins and athletes. Stars who have called Beverly Park home include actors Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy, athletes Barry Bonds and Magic Johnson, media magnate Sumner Redstone and "Power Rangers" mogul Haim Saban.
A minimum building size in the covenants keeps out shanties, and the community's homeowner associations are known to be tough critics of the estates' exteriors. Prices of these properties can exceed $30 million.
