Bel-Air is a neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, California. The faux-gated community was founded in Alphonzo E. Bell, Sr in 1923 and is part of the so-called "Golden Triangle" of Bel Air, Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills. About 12 miles west of downtown, it includes some of the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and borders the north side of UCLA.
