A 2nd Act For L.A.’s Trousdale Estates

As if Southern California didn’t presently have an unfair monopoly on Mid Century Contemporary day architecture, enter Trousdale Estates, the Beverly Hills enclave that’s residence to a slew of well-recognized names, and we’re not talking actors. Created in the 1950s as a gated neighborhood for the wealthy and renowned, Trousdale Estates has observed its share of marquee names come and go, but the properties in the tony development—the “forgotten gems” by Mid-Century architects A. Quincy Jones, Harold W. Levitt and Wallace Neff, among others—are lastly becoming recognized as the neighborhood’s correct stars. Right here, snapshots of the sun-drenched patios, flat roofs, glass walls and, yes, swimming pools, that preserve slavish admirers of Mid Century architecture California dreaming.
