On the Market: "Beverly Hills, 90210" House

"Beverly Hills, 90210" fans rejoice: Donna and David's beachfront pad is up for sale.


Before today's "90210," there was "Beverly Hills, 90210," the wildly popular television series that ran from 1990 to 2000. The cult hit followed the trials and tribulations of a group of well to do friends who attended the fictitious West Beverly High School. During the fourth season, as the pampered teens prepared to begin college, Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) moved into an oceanfront apartment with her on again off again boyfriend David Silver (Brian Austin Green) and her bff Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth).

The property used for the exterior shots of Donna, David and Kelly's apartment building is located in the quintessential California beachfront community of Hermosa Beach and recently came up for sale with a very "Beverly Hills, 90210" asking price of $10.5 million.

The original series may have ended more than 10 years ago, but as anyone who has ever been to Hermosa Beach knows, this house still draws hordes of camera wielding tourists who, like most teens, tweens and twenty years olds in the 1990s, watched the program with an almost religious-like fervor.

Because oceanfront property is at an uber-premium, most southern California beach towns line houses up along the beach like matches in a matchbook. Hermosa Beach is no different and many of the oceanfront homes offer little in the way of privacy due to all the walkers, bikers and roller skaters who often fill the sidewalk that runs along the back of the property.

The "Beverly Hills, 90210" beach house property has 136-feet of beach frontage –78 feet on the west and 58 feet on the north. Located on the coveted Strand, the property is not only right on the sand, it's also walking distance to the beachy shops and eateries of Manhattan Beach, California.


The building has three units including an owners unit on the ground floor that contains 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and direct access to the back yard. The second floor apartment or guest suite has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms while the third floor, the one that offers the best views and the most privacy, has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Each of the three units has ocean views and access to several private terraces that wrap the ocean side of the building and provide panoramic views out over the water to the west and the long wide stretch of beach to the north.


While most beachfront properties offer little more than a postage stamp sized yard, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" beach house, in addition to it's many generously-sized ocean view decks, has a large yard surrounded by a white picket fence with thick plantings, several terraces and decks, a covered patio for escaping the scorching sunshine, and even a patch of lawn.


In addition to the "Beverly Hills, 90210" beach house, several other homes featured in films and television programs are currently on the market. The glassy, modernist house of clutzy Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, located in the upscale Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, IL, is on the block with an asking price of $1.8 million.

The very contemporary Cullen home, where current teenage heart throb Robert Pattison's blood sucking character Edward lived in the vampire drama Twilight: New Moon, is also on the market. The 5,100-square-foot house West Vancouver, British Columbia has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and is listed with an asking price of $3.298 million.
