Real Estate: Voted the #1 Long-Term Investment for 12 Years – And It’s Especially True in Los Angeles & Beverly Hills

If you’re wondering where to invest your money for long-term financial growth, here’s a powerful insight: real estate has been voted the best long-term investment for the 12th year in a row, according to the latest Gallup poll.

And when it comes to real estate, there’s no better market than Los Angeles and Beverly Hills—two of the most resilient and sought-after housing markets in the country. Despite shifting market conditions, luxury properties in these neighborhoods continue to appreciate in value and offer unmatched lifestyle benefits.

Why Real Estate Stands Out—Even Today

Even with home price appreciation leveling off and economic uncertainty in the headlines, real estate remains a powerful wealth-building tool. Here’s why:

Tangible, appreciating asset – Unlike stocks or crypto, a home is a physical asset that tends to increase in value over time—especially in prestigious zip codes like 90210.

Stability in prime locations – Real estate in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Westside Los Angeles consistently outperforms the broader market due to limited inventory, global demand, and architectural significance.

Tax benefits & generational wealth – Homeownership offers potential tax advantages and allows families to build long-term equity—one of the most proven paths to generational wealth.

“A home is more than just a place to live—it’s often a family’s most valuable financial asset and a cornerstone to building long-term wealth.”
— Sam Williamson, Senior Economist, First American

The Breakdown: Where Americans Are Investing

• Real Estate – 37%

It’s clear—homeownership continues to lead the way.
