What Beverly Hills Sheikh Zayed Actually Is
Beverly Hills is a Palm Hills compound launched in 2005, now fully delivered. It covers 1,850 acres in Sheikh Zayed, positioned between the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road and Mehwar Road. The project is complete. You're buying resale units from owners who've lived here for years.
The compound hosts around 3,200 residential units: villas, twin houses, townhouses, and apartments. Most families moved in between 2008 and 2015. The infrastructure is mature. Trees have grown. Community rhythms are established.
Current Pricing (February 2026)
Resale prices vary by unit type and exact location within the compound:
- Apartments: EGP 35,000–45,000/m²
- Townhouses: EGP 40,000–50,000/m²
- Twin houses: EGP 45,000–55,000/m²

What You Get: Amenities and Infrastructure
Beverly Hills was designed as a self-contained community. The amenities reflect that ambition:
Sports and Recreation
- Full sports club: gym, tennis courts, squash, swimming pools (adult and kids)
- Football and basketball courts
- Jogging and cycling tracks throughout the compound
- Multiple playgrounds distributed across neighborhoods
Education
Two international schools operate inside the compound:
- Malvern College Egypt: British curriculum, ages 3–18
- Canadian International School (CIS): Ontario curriculum
Both schools are walkable for most residents. Families cite school proximity as a top reason for buying here.
Commercial and Daily Needs
The Beverly Hills Mall anchors the compound's retail. It includes:
- Supermarket (Spinneys)
- Pharmacies
- Cafés and restaurants (Cilantro, Beano's, others)
- Clinics and medical services
- Banks and ATMs
You can handle most daily errands without leaving the compound. For larger shopping or entertainment, Arkan Plaza and Mall of Arabia are 10–15 minutes away.
Security and Maintenance
Palm Hills operates 24/7 gated security with ID checks at all entry points. The compound has its own maintenance team for landscaping, roads, and common areas. Maintenance fees run around EGP 3–5/m² monthly, varying by unit type.
Strengths: Why Families Buy Here
Mature Community
Beverly Hills is nearly 20 years old. The landscaping is lush. The community is stable. You're not buying into a construction site. Neighbors have been here for years. School friendships span grades.
School Access
Having two international schools on-site is rare. It eliminates the morning commute stress that plagues other compounds. Kids can walk or bike to school.
Location Within Sheikh Zayed
Beverly Hills sits close to Mehwar Road, offering quick access to:
- Smart Village (10 minutes)
- Arkan Plaza (12 minutes)
- Mall of Arabia (15 minutes)
- Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road for airport or North Coast trips
You're central within Sheikh Zayed without being on a noisy main road.
Resale Liquidity
Beverly Hills units move. The compound's reputation and established community mean serious buyers shortlist it. Average time on market for well-priced units is 2–3 months, per our brokerage data.
Weaknesses: What You Should Know
No Off-Plan Deals
Everything is resale. You're paying current market rates. There are no developer discounts or extended payment plans. Financing comes from banks, not the developer.
Age of Units
Many units are 15+ years old. Some owners have renovated; others haven't. You'll need to budget for potential upgrades: plumbing, electrical, AC units, kitchen and bathroom finishes. Inspect carefully before buying.
HOA Fees Add Up
Monthly maintenance fees are unavoidable. For a 200m² villa, expect EGP 800–1,000/month. Some owners complain the fees have crept up over the years without proportional service improvements.
Limited New Inventory
If you want a specific unit type in a specific location within the compound, your options are whatever's listed that month. You can't customize or choose a plot. You're shopping a finite resale pool.
Who Should Buy in Beverly Hills Sheikh Zayed?
This compound works best for:
- Families with school-age kids: The on-site schools are the main draw. If education access is your priority, Beverly Hills delivers.
- Buyers who value mature infrastructure: You want established landscaping, working amenities, and a stable community. You don't want construction noise or phased deliveries.
- Resale-only budgets: You're ready to pay current market rates for immediate move-in. You're not chasing off-plan discounts.
Beverly Hills is less suited for:
- Buyers seeking modern architecture or smart-home tech. These are 2000s-era builds.
- Investors chasing high rental yields. The compound's premium pricing compresses rental returns to 4–5% annually.
- Anyone who wants developer payment plans. It's cash or bank financing only.
Comparing Beverly Hills to Nearby Options
Beverly Hills vs Allegria
Allegria (also Palm Hills) is newer, launched 2007. It offers a golf course and more contemporary designs. Prices are slightly higher (EGP 40,000–60,000/m²). Allegria feels more resort-style; Beverly Hills feels more neighborhood-community. Both have schools, but Beverly Hills has two on-site.
Beverly Hills vs Sodic West
Sodic West (Westown / Eastown) is more modern, with newer phases still delivering. Architecture is contemporary. Prices overlap with Beverly Hills. Sodic West attracts younger buyers and has more nightlife/dining. Beverly Hills skews older families and prioritizes quiet over trendy.
Beverly Hills vs October Gardens
October Gardens is budget-friendly (EGP 25,000–35,000/m²) and offers larger villa plots. But it lacks the polish, schools, and walkability of Beverly Hills. October Gardens is for buyers prioritizing space over amenities.
Final Verdict: Is Beverly Hills Worth It in 2026?
Beverly Hills remains a solid choice for families prioritizing education, mature infrastructure, and community stability. The premium you pay (EGP 35,000–55,000/m²) buys you on-site schools, lush landscaping, and a neighborhood that's fully functional.
You're not getting cutting-edge design or investor returns. You're getting a well-run, established compound where kids can bike to school and families have lived for a decade.
If that's your priority, Beverly Hills delivers. If you want modern architecture or off-plan discounts, look elsewhere.
