Eddie Murphy’s Mansion
Beverly Park, Los Angeles
Beverly Park, which is divided into North Beverly Park and South Beverly Park, is a private gated community in the hills above Los Angeles. This wealthy neighborhood is known for its concentration of exceptionally large houses, up to 40,000 square feet, and for its famous residents, such as Basketball Hall of Famer Earvin “Magic” Johnson, actors Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy, and former MLB star Barry Bonds.
The communities carry a Beverly Hills Post Office address (90210 ZIP code), but are located within the city of Los Angeles. Within the gates are enormous mansions — in Tuscan, French chateau, Spanish and modern styles — set on large, flat lots of 1 to 3.5 acres. Of the handful of houses on the market, the most expensive is in the north, with an asking price of $50 million. The least expensive is $14 million and even those mansions feature security gates and high stone walls, impeccably manicured lawns, tennis courts and pools.
