Beverly Hills Lifestyle Among The Most Enviable, Survey Finds

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — It should come as no surprise that a city synonymous with glamor boasts one of the most enviable lifestyles in America, according to a newly released survey.

According to the survey by the moving industry analysts at Moving Feedback, Beverly Hills is ranked 19 in the list of 175 communities with the most enviable lifestyles.

Famous for its Rodeo Drive shopping and palm-tree and mansion-lined streets, Beverly Hills has long occupied a special place in American culture as a symbol of luxury.

It's one of three Los Angeles County communities to make the list.

The Calabasas lifestyle was ranked as the most enviable in the nation, according to a survey of 3,000 Americans.

According to Moving Feedback, "Calabasas is known for its upscale neighborhoods with luxurious properties, beautiful scenery, and proximity to natural attractions such as the Santa Monica Mountains. The city’s low crime rate, excellent schools, and various high-end amenities also contribute to its reputation as an attractive and affluent community."

In a post-pandemic-era shift, the suburbs are knocking metropolitan areas such as New York City, San Francisco, and Miami from their perches as having the most enviable lifestyles for residents. Now, people appear to be pining for large digs close to nature with low crime rates, good schools and luxury amenities.

These are the 11 California towns that made the list:

# 1: Calabasas

# 19: Beverly Hills

# 20: Newport Beach

#26: Irvine

#27: Rancho Palos Verdes

#45: Atherton

#64: La Jolla

#67: Rancho Santa Fe

#69: Hillsborough

#71: Pal Alto

#97: Saratoga

Factors that appeared to sway panelists included real estate value, safety, quality of infrastructure, and proximity to nature and financial opportunities.
