Question: For my novel, what are the most elegant places in LA or NY!?I mean a place where really rich people might live!?

The protagonist in my novel is very rich!. His father is a very famous businessman!. Where to live!? It must be in LA or NY Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

LA - one area that nobody has mentioned Pacific Palisades! Lots of grand homes and the rich folk who love them!.

NYC the richest neighborhood is the upper east side!. Outside NYC Long Island is rich folk land!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know NY, but in L!.A!.:

Malibu!.
Bel Aire (don't just say Beverly Hills, because it's so cliche, and also, thereare bad parts of town, believe it or not, below Santa Monica Blvd!. - Same with most of Hollywood - mostly pretty disgusting!.!.!. Probably glamorous in the 1940's, but sure as hell not now)!.

Hollywood Hills!.
Hollywood, above Sunset (which actually is the base of the Hollywood Hills)!.
San Marino area in Pasadena!.

Santa Barbara is 90 miles above L!.A!., but it's a much richer area, overall, and it's the escape and playground of a lot of rich people & entertainment industry types) in L!.A!. because it's just a couple hours away, and it's beautiful!.

There are a lot more though, but my fingers are getting tired!.
