To the north of the Benedict Canyon neighborhood is the neighborhood of Sherman Oaks, to the west is the neighborhood of Beverly Glen, to the east are Beverly Park and Franklin Canyon, and to the south is the city of Beverly Hills.

Benedict Canyon is a ravine that drops in a north-to-south direction from its high point at the crest line in the Santa Monica Mountains; to the east of the Canyon are its two sisters, Franklin Canyon and Coldwater Canyon.

Rainwater percolating over the ancient strata of all three canyons emerges at their lowest altitude as the springs feeding Franklin's Lake and Creek.

A cross-section of the land reveals granite, of volcanic origin, layered between worn river rocks and ocean bottom mud.

In upper Benedict Canyon are the subdivisions of Benedict Hills, which consists of 107 homes, and Benedict Hills Estates, which consists of 229 homes between Deep Canyon and Mulholland Drive, just east of Hutton.

Residences:

Homes range from smaller one-story family residences to large properties.

Homes are predominantly single-family and owner-occupied and have two or more bedrooms.

The median year in which the homes were built is 1960

Community:

The Benedict Canyon Association (BCA), started in 1948, is an example of neighborhood activism.

Because of their early efforts, Benedict Canyon remains the only canyon that is 100% residential.

The Hillside Ordinance to limit building height at 36 feet and stipulate restrictions on set-back, side yards or parking, was a product of Association lobbying and participation.

That ordinance was also the basis of the recent defeat of the proposed villa on top of the Mark Hughes hilltop, an event cheered by many residents.
