Much of present day Beverly Hills consists of freestanding red brick and tile bungalows built in the years immediately after World War 2 . Many of these feature late Art Deco design elements. The area has all the features typical of Australian metropolitan localities: restaurants, retail shops, a pub (the Beverly Hills Hotel), cinemas, several schools, parks, and health facilities. Notable amongst the public buildings and amenities are Beverly Hills Girls High School and Regina Coeli Roman Catholic parish church and primary school. The latter is Australia's only Catholic war memorial church. It was built in the early 1960 s to commemorate the Australian-US alliance during World War 2 . The flags of both nations are permanently hung either side of the main Altar , and a special Mass attended by US service personnel and diplomatic representatives is conducted there annually in commemmoration of the Battle Of The Coral Sea . Regina Coeli is sited prominently on the highest point in Beverly Hills, and is a landmark visible for many kilometres in all directions. Beverly Hills is bounded by Kingsgrove to the east, Peakhurst to the south, Narwee (with which it shares the 2209 post code) to the West and Roselands to the north. The main road running through Beverly Hills and connecting it to Roselands and Hurstville is King Georges Road. The road has palm trees running through its median strip as a nod to its Californian Namesake . In 1955, Woolworths opened it's first store in a supermarket format in Beverley Hills.
