Or is it completely overrated? Is it really all that luxurious there or does it have slums too?

If you are already in the area it is cool to spend a day in BH. You can see all of the famous spots in a few hours.
Drive into the hills and see the palm trees and nice houses.

California is awesome. Don't let the simpletons here who have never been further than Gulf Shores tell you otherwise.

Put bananas in tailpipes. Both literally and metaphorically.

Malibu is worth checking out.

I have never been to Cali, but I'm confident the state is damn pretty one. It's too bad the politics have brought it down.

If you’re in the area, take a tour. I’ve been on many. BH, Hollywood, Malibu. All interesting. Not anywhere I’d care to live.

I could be wrong, but don't think Beverly Hills proper has anything that would be deemed a "slum."

It's not exactly a "big city" in and of itself, though.

I was very underwhelmed by what I was seeing. Maybe I was just living in fantasy land about what it actually was. But was worth the one day I spent there between Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.

Do the Hop on and Hop Off tour bus if you can.

If I were filthy rich enough to not care about COL rural California would be towards the top of my list of places I'd want to live.

When I was a kid I thought it was cool.

Now, I'm not so sure. I can see sprawling estates anywhere, ultra high end boutiques and the like are likewise more common elsewhere, celebrities are less confined to LA, etc.

I'm just not sure there is any universal interest in BH like there was coming out of the 90201/Planet Hollywood/etc. generations.

Tour stars' houses, shop on Rodeo drive with the beautiful peoples, etc.

It isn't particularly great. It would not be anywhere my top destinations in the LA area. I try to avoid Beverly Hills and Hollywood like the plague when in LA.

Driving through the hills (any of them, not specifically BH) is always a fun way to kill time between meetings out there. If you’re going into the heart of Beverly Hills, maybe grab a bite at The Hideaway.

You’ll also notice pretty much everyone there is Persian. The only white people are agents and execs.

Drive up the coast and check out Hearst Castle instead. Stop in SLO for a day.

If you go to rodeo drive, you can listen to apparently wealthy guys rev their cars engines up
