About Trousdale Estates

Trousdale Estates sits in the hills above Beverly Hills on what were once the grounds of the Doheny estate. Developer Paul Trousdale bought the land in 1954, had it annexed into the City of Beverly Hills, and laid out about 410 acres in 532 lots with views from downtown Los Angeles to the ocean.

Trousdale set the rules from the start. A design review board led by architect Allen Siple oversaw every house, homes were held to a single story so neighbors kept their views, and the lots filled with low, glamorous modern houses by Wallace Neff, Paul R. Williams, A. Quincy Jones and Harold Levitt, among others.

The residents became part of the legend: Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Groucho Marx and, briefly, Richard Nixon. Today original homes trade alongside large new builds, and the original mid-century houses are the rarer find.

Signature Features

  • Single-story homes on flat building pads cut into the hillside
  • Walls of glass facing city and ocean views
  • Long, low rooflines and deep overhangs
  • Pools and terraces at the edge of the view
  • Hollywood Regency and modern designs side by side

Buying in Trousdale Estates

  • Beverly Hills has its own view and height rules for Trousdale; ask what can be built on the lot before you plan a remodel.
  • Ask whether the house is original or substantially rebuilt; the originals command a premium with mid-century buyers.
  • Hillside homes need a geology and drainage review.
  • Confirm the architect from permits and plans, not just the listing.
