Real estate developer Paul Trousdale, who built over 25,000 homes in Southern California during his career, is best known for creating the swanky Beverly Hills enclave known as Trousdale Estates. Construction on Trousdale Estates neighborhood began in the 1950s and continued through the 1970s, with renowned architects like Richard Dorman, Wallace Neff, and Lloyd Wright all contributing. Interestingly, each home was limited to span no more than 3,000 feet and one story high in order to preserve the gorgeous landscapes. Thus, Trousdale Beverly Hills real estate has the distinct characteristic of drawing in architecture buffs and those looking for panoramic views of the city and the Pacific Ocean alike. Due to the time period in which many of these homes were built, mid century architecture dominates the neighborhood.
