Beverly Hills has a strong Chinese-Australian community presence. According to ABS Census 2021, 30.4% of the suburb's 10,483 residents are of Chinese ancestry, totalling approximately 3,188 people. This places Beverly Hills in the top 2% of NSW suburbs by Chinese population percentage — roughly six times the Sydney-wide average of approximately 5%.
The suburb sits within the broader St George area, bordering Hurstville to the south, Kingsgrove to the west, Narwee to the south-east, and Penshurst to the south. Its proximity to Hurstville — one of Sydney's most prominent Chinese-Australian hubs — means residents have easy access to a wide range of Asian grocery stores, restaurants, and community services in the neighbouring suburb.
With a population density of approximately 3,468 people per square kilometre across its 3.02 sq km area, Beverly Hills has a relatively dense suburban character. The suburb features a mix of older family homes on generous blocks and newer medium-density developments, particularly around the train station precinct. The local shopping strip along King Georges Road provides everyday essentials, while the larger commercial centres of Hurstville and Kingsgrove are minutes away.
The strong Chinese-Australian community creates a familiar cultural environment for Chinese-speaking families, with community language schools and cultural activities available in the broader area. For families relocating from China or other parts of Australia, Beverly Hills offers a well-connected Chinese-speaking community without the premium price tag of some other high-Chinese-population suburbs closer to the CBD.

Many of the older houses sit on blocks that offer renovation or rebuilding potential, which has attracted both owner-occupiers and developers in recent years. The suburb's proximity to Hurstville and its own train station underpins demand from families who value public transport access.
