Beverly Park, divided into North Beverly Park and South Beverly Park, is a gated community in Los Angeles, California. This wealthy neighborhood is primarily known for its concentration of large houses and for its famous residents. 〔("Inside North Beverly Park, Beverly Hills' Mansion-Packed Billionaire Community" ), Los Angeles Times. Retrieved August 17, 2014.〕 The communities carry a Beverly Hills Post Office address (90210 ZIP Code), but are located within the city of Los Angeles. The neighborhood is located between Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard and Coldwater Canyon Drive and Beverly Glen Boulevard, east of the Beverly Glen neighborhood.〔 North Beverly Park, with a main entrance at 13100 Mulholland Drive, is the larger 64-home section; South Beverly Park consists of 16 homes.〔 ==History== Established in 1990, the 250-acre (100 ha) community was built by Los Angeles developers Elliot Gottfurcht and Brian Adler using land that was originally intended to be a golf course named after Dean Martin.〔Mathis Chazanox, (Developers Tailor $100 Book for Estate-of-the-Art Advertising : Beverly Park: Houses in an unfinished project below Mulholland Drive are ranked with elegant mansions. ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', November 12, 1989〕〔(Beverly Hills Developer Offers Land and Dreams ), ''The New York Times'', October 7, 1984〕 Adler used the concept of having gates to distinguish the neighborhood from other Westside neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, and Bel-Air.〔 It originally contained 64 two-acre (0.8 ha) lots, a 4-acre (1.6 ha) landscaped park, and over 100 acres (40 ha) of open space; a number of adjacent lots have since been developed. Beverly Park is divided into two separate communities, one being North Beverly Park, the other South Beverly Park. North Beverly Park is a larger community and most homes there generally commanded much larger prices than homes of South Beverly Park. In May 2008, residents of South Beverly Park sued the North Beverly Park Homeowners Association over access to the north's two gates at Mulholland Drive after access was restricted in 2007. Residents of South Beverly Park could use the gate, but visitors were forced to use the south's gates, which, due to the location of the neighborhood, could require a detour of up to seven miles (11 km). The dispute arose in March 2006 when the north's Homeowners Association sent the south's homeowners a letter demanding that they "pay their fair share of costs we After their lawsuit was won, the South Beverly Park residents were awarded a post-judgment order by the court system, entitling them to compensation from the North's Homeowners' Association for attorney fees and costs totalling $826,926.13. The North Beverly Park HOA filed an appeal to this post-judgment order as well, but again lost when the judgment was affirmed in late 2011.〔http://www.leagle.com/xmlResult.aspx?xmldoc=In%20CACO%2020110801008.xml〕 This finally ended a nearly five-year legal battle. ==Crime== Despite being a gated community, there have been rare but occasional instances of crime. In February 2007, the Beverly Park home of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill was burglarized. Police stated that the method of entry was believed to be a broken window and an unspecified amount of money was missing.〔http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20011781,00.html〕 In February 2010, resident Lisa Vanderpump's automobile was stolen from her driveway during the night and driven off a nearby cliff.〔http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/entertainment&id=7259632〕 Former residents Robert and Jeannette Bisno claimed that their gardens had been toilet-papered, trampled, and strewn with debris in 2004, though there was speculation this may have been the doing of another resident(s), as the Bisnos were involved in a dispute with their Homeowners' Association over a sculpture at the time. In June 2012, the home at 50 Beverly Park Way (currently owned by Russian-Armenian businessman Albert Avdolyan) caught fire, requiring over 100 firefighters to contain the blaze and causing more than $1 million in damages. According to an LAFD spokesman, the fire was not arson and was accidentally started by a construction crew who were waterproofing the home at the time.〔http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_20979448/beverly-hills-mansion-fire-causes-more-than-1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beverly Park, Los Angeles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
