Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO) is the name given to a section of Los Angeles, California, that lies within the 90210 ZIP code, which is assigned to the Beverly Hills Post Office. Mailing addresses with the ZIP code 90210 are written as "Beverly Hills, CA 90210", though the properties themselves lie outside of Beverly Hills city limits. As citizens of Los Angeles, BHPO residents receive Los Angeles city services and vote in Los Angeles elections.

The identification of the section with Beverly Hills did not begin until the 1960s. "When Beverly Hills was incorporated in 1914, the northern border was roughly a mile north of Sunset Boulevard, with the exception of Trousdale Estates. The remaining section stretching north to Mulholland Drive was left as part of the hills of Los Angeles, where it remained anonymous for decades."^[1] In 1963 the area was included within the 90210 ZIP Code, which also covers the northern part of Beverly Hills. The popular television series Beverly Hills 90210 (1990-2000) reinforced the identification of the ZIP Code with Beverly Hills.

[edit] Education

Public education is provided by the Los Angeles Unified School District^[1] as opposed to the Beverly Hills Unified School District, which serves students within Beverly Hills city limits.

The western part of Beverly Hills Post Office is zoned to Warner Avenue Elementary School, while the eastern portion is zoned to West Hollywood Elementary School.

All residents are zoned to Emerson Middle School and University High School.
