East Of Campus Beverly Hills. Two miles east of UCLA is the famous incorporated city of Beverly Hills. Sometimes there are guest houses or rooms for rent in the area, especially south of Wilshire, and sharing an apartment is feasible. This new, high-rise commercial center two miles southeast of UCLA has some condominiums, but not much housing for students. Sometimes there are rooms for rent west of Century City Shopping Center, and apartments line Beverly Glen Boulevard.
Entertainment is the area's main value.
Century City Shopping Center has great shopping, food and theaters offering matinee prices. The ABC Entertainment Center has live theater, more movies and shopping. Drive around - you may find a good deal. The small pocket of Los Angeles that abuts Beverly Hills just west of La Cienega Boulevard is popular and close to the Wilshire buses, but prices here are rising. The winding suburban streets of Beverlywood occupy the southwestern part of this neighborhood.
