Beverly Hills: Gardens, Greystone, and the City Itself

Updated November 9, 2026 | Sources checked November 9, 2026

Beverly Hills is a city, with its own limits, parks and calendar. That sounds obvious until you start reading addresses. A Beverly Hills mailing label does not, by itself, mean the house sits inside the City of Beverly Hills. This piece is about the city: the gardens along Santa Monica Boulevard, Greystone up the hill and the dates the city has already posted for the season ahead.

The park along Santa Monica Boulevard

The City of Beverly Hills lists Beverly Gardens Park at 9439 Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (Map it). The facility page names the Lily Pond, the Beverly Hills monument sign, the Electric Fountain and the cactus garden among the park’s familiar pieces. It is a long, linear park rather than a hidden interior square, which is useful if you are trying to understand the city’s public face: you can stand at the sign, walk a few blocks of gardens and see how close that civic landscape sits to the commercial streets just south of it.

Greystone Mansion & Gardens is a city park at 905 Loma Vista Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (Map it). The city says the grounds are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with winter hours from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Reservations are not required to visit the grounds; admission and parking are listed as free. Most special events at the park or inside the mansion require reservations and a fee. The grounds give you a quieter read on the city’s hillside side than a drive down Rodeo Drive does.

Dates the city has already posted

The city’s Citywide Holiday Festivities page lists the season running through January 3, 2027. On Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., the City of Beverly Hills and the Rodeo Drive Committee host the Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration. The city describes the evening as free and open to the public.

From November 19 through January 3, Lights on The Lily Pond is listed nightly from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Beverly Gardens Park. Glowing Gardens at Beverly Canon Gardens is listed from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. over the same dates, with a large tree and an oversized ornament. On December 7 at 5:30 p.m., the city lists its annual Menorah Lighting Celebration in Beverly Gardens Park.

A Holiday Craft Fair is listed at the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market on Sunday, November 22, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The city’s Farmers’ Market page places the weekly market on the 9300 block of Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, and lists regular Sunday hours as 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Use the holiday-festivities page for the craft-fair window and the market page for the regular Sunday schedule.

Holidays at Greystone returns on December 5, 6, 12 and 13. The city lists a 9:15 a.m. start at Greystone Mansion and Gardens, 905 Loma Vista Drive, and describes visits with Santa and Mrs. Claus, marionettes, caroling, crafts, library story time and photos with the city’s support dog, Nami. The same city page lists conflicting end times, so this article does not print one. Check the city page for reservations and the posted end time before you go.

What recent sales have looked like

Redfin’s Beverly Hills city market page reports a median home sale price of $4,029,331 for the three months ending September 2026, up 36.6% from the comparable period a year earlier. Source: Redfin calculations of MLS and/or public-record data; checked November 9, 2026. This is the City of Beverly Hills as Redfin draws it, not Beverly Hills Post Office, not a neighboring city, and not a price for a particular street or house. In a smaller, high-value market, a three-month median can swing sharply depending on the mix of sales in that short window. It is not a real-time reading and not a price opinion on the house you are walking through.

This city is not in the San Fernando Valley. It sits south of the mountains, with its own municipal government. If you are comparing a house inside the city limits with one that only shares a mailing name, start with the parcel, not the envelope.

School assignments are by address. Confirm attendance boundaries with the district that serves the specific property rather than assuming a city name equals a particular campus.

A good first circuit of the gardens

Start at Beverly Gardens Park, 9439 Santa Monica Boulevard (Map it), where the city names the Lily Pond, the monument sign and the Electric Fountain. Then continue to Greystone Mansion & Gardens, 905 Loma Vista Drive (Map it). The city lists the grounds as open daily, with winter hours from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

If you are trying to decide whether the City of Beverly Hills fits the way you actually live, or how a flats street compares with a hillside one, reach out to Anthony. Bring the blocks that felt right at dusk, not just at noon.

Would you rather measure the city from the gardens on Santa Monica Boulevard, or from the quieter grounds at Greystone?
