Rent in Beverly Grove
Why two numbers? Long-term tenants (often in rent-stabilized units) pay less than today's asking prices. Budget from the asking rent, not the resident median.
Rent control: City of Los Angeleshas a Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). Most buildings first occupied before October 1978 limit annual increases for sitting tenants; newer buildings at least 15 years old fall under California's statewide cap (AB 1482).

Beverly Grove is a walkable, residential neighborhood nestled between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, known for its tree-lined streets and proximity to some of LA's most vibrant commercial areas. The neighborhood draws professionals and families with higher incomes, reflecting the broader character of the Mid-City West region.
Day-to-day life centers on the Fairfax corridor, where you'll find independent coffee shops, restaurants, and local groceries within a short walk. Most errands are doable on foot, though you'll feel the tradeoffs that come with being close to busy commercial zones: traffic is above-average, tree cover is sparse, and air quality sits at moderate levels for the region.
Living here
Beverly Grove feels more residential than its flashier neighbors, with a genuine local feel despite high property values and median household incomes near the county's highest. You can accomplish most daily tasks without a car, with about 13 restaurants, 2-3 coffee shops, and 3 parks within a short walk. The Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega Metro D Line stations sit right at the neighborhood boundary, though transit remains limited overall and a car is still strongly recommended for most renters.
The tradeoff is density and environmental conditions. Tree cover is minimal at under 2 percent, and you're on an above-average traffic corridor with moderate diesel PM exposure. The neighborhood is louder and more concrete-heavy than quieter LA enclaves, but the walkability and amenity density rank in the top 15 percent of LA neighborhoods, making it a genuine option if you want to minimize car use.
Who it's for
Beverly Grove suits renters who value walkability and access to restaurants and shops over car-free living or green space. It works for young professionals, couples, and established families who can absorb asking rents around $3,338 for new leases (down about 1 percent year-over-year as of May 2026) and don't mind above-average traffic noise in exchange for being able to walk to most errands. If you need a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood or affordable rent, this is not the place.
Environment & livability
Air quality: moderate diesel PM exposure for California.
Above the state median, linked to mild long-term respiratory risk in some studies. Worth considering for sensitive households.
Traffic exposure: above-average traffic corridor exposure.
Higher traffic proximity correlates with elevated noise, diesel emissions, and reduced pedestrian comfort on nearby streets.
Tree cover: very limited tree cover, predominantly concrete.
Low canopy areas tend to run hotter and feel more exposed. Research links tree cover to lower ambient temperatures and improved pedestrian comfort.
Walkability: most daily errands can be done on foot.
High intersection density and destination access. The kind of area where a car is optional for daily life.
Transit: minimal transit access, car strongly recommended.
Very infrequent or no meaningful transit nearby. Car dependency is high in this area.
