Beverly Hills is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Citrus County, Florida, United States.

Sam Kellner, a Jewish businessman from New York, made a fortune in the tire business during the 1930s and 1940s, after which he went into construction and real estate development.

Within a few years, Kellner began to develop the former cattle land, selling simple, single-story homes to retirees from the urban North, especially New York and Detroit.

Like other such developments in South Florida and the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, a private company—Kellner’s Rolling Oaks Corporation—owned most of the non-residential property, including a nearby lumberyard and concrete plant.

Purchasing land in a rural, inland area allowed Kellner to market the new community to working class retirees at affordable prices.

County Road 491 (North Lecanto Highway) forms the northwestern edge of the Beverly Hills CDP, leading northeast 4 miles (6 km) to U.S. Route 41 and southwest 5 miles (8 km) to State Road 44 in Lecanto.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.0 square miles (7.7 km2), all land.
