In 1928, the development was taken over by Ole Hanson and the Frank Meline Company, who continued to develop the neighborhood. Because of the area's location, many properties enjoy expansive views that overlook the Hillcrest Country Club and Rancho Park Golf Course as well as views of Century City, the Hollywood Hills, and the Hollywood Sign. Many of the lots are large, often covering several parcels, and homes were designed by prominent architects including John L. DeLario, Roland E. Coartes, Wallace Neff, and Eugene R.

The neighborhood is located within Cheviot Hills, bound to the north by Club Drive and to the west by Queensbury Drive, but has a separate home owner's association with binding CC&Rs attached to each lot, and its borders are marked by signs and central medians. The neighborhood was originally developed by Sanford Adler, the owner of the Flamingo Las Vegas and El Rancho Hotel and Casino,{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yHP6Usz3vJ0C&q=sanford+adler&pg=PA63|title=Nevada's Golden Age of Gambling|access-date=January 27, 2016|isbn=9780971501904|last1=Moe|first1=Albert Woods|year=2001}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ccgtcc-ccn.com/TheFlamingo.pdf |title=The Flamingo |website=www.ccgtcc-ccn.com }} and included homes built by architects such as A.

Situated within a short drive of both Fox Studios and Sony Pictures Studios, the neighborhood has often been the site for the filming of motion pictures and television shows.

Examples dating to the 1920s and 1930s include the Laurel and Hardy films The Finishing Touch, Big Business, and Bacon Grabbers, among others.{{cite web|url=http://laurelandhardyfilms.com/locations/all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819210918/http://laurelandhardyfilms.com/locations/all |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 19, 2011 |title=Laurel & Hardy Films | Locations |access-date=October 4, 2018}} Later examples include The Ropers television series from the late 1970s and the movie Private School in 1983.{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086143/ |title=Private School (1983)|website=IMDb.com|date=July 29, 1983|access-date=January 27, 2016}}

In 1968, John Martin moved his two-year old publishing company Black Sparrow Press into a small cottage behind a friend’s house on Kilrenney Avenue in Cheviot Hills.{{Cite web |title=The All Night Menu Questionnaire: John Martin |url=https://www.allnightmenu.la/questionnaire/John-Martin |access-date=2025-01-21 |website=All Night Menu}} From those modest accommodations, Martin published some of Black Sparrow’s most well-known titles, including early Charles Bukowski books such as the poetry collection The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills and the author’s debut novel, Post Office.

According to The New York Times, Cheviot Hills is bounded by the northern limits of the Rancho Park Golf Course and the Hillcrest Country Club to the north, Patricia Avenue and Manning Avenue to the west and southwest, and Beverwil Drive and Castle Heights Avenue to the east and southeast.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/29/realestate/cheviot-hills-los-angeles-quiet-affluence-amid-the-urban-hustle.html|title=Living In: Cheviot Hills, Los Angeles: Quiet Affluence Amid the Urban Hustle|author=Debra Kamin|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 29, 2019}}

In the Mapping L.A. project of the Los Angeles Times, Cheviot Hills' street and other borders are Rancho Park Golf Course and Hillcrest Country Club to the northwest; Anchor Avenue and Club Drive to the east; and Manning Avenue to the southwest.{{cite news|url=http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/neighborhood/cheviot-hills|title=Cheviot Hills|work=Mapping L.A.}}The Thomas Guide: Los Angeles County, 2004, page 632 Using these boundaries, Cheviot Hills is flanked on the north by West Los Angeles and Century City, on the east by Beverlywood and Castle Heights, on the south by Palms, and on the west by Rancho Park.{{cite web|url=http://projects.latimes.com/mapping-la/neighborhoods/region/westside/ |title=Westside - Mapping L.A. - Los Angeles Times |website=Projects.latimes.com |access-date=January 27, 2016}}

The Mapping L.A. boundaries are broader than those recognized by the Cheviot Hills Homeowners' Association (CHHOA). Although the CHHOA covers areas beyond the original Cheviot Hills tract, such as Monte-Mar Vista and most of Tract 13945, Mapping L.A.'s boundaries also include all or parts other neighborhoods, such as Castle Heights and California Country Club Estates, which have their own homeowners' associations.{{cite web|url=https://cheviothillshistory.org/the-tracts|title=The Tracts|website=cheviothillshistory.org}}

The 2000 U.S. census counted 6,945 residents in the 1.54-square-mile Cheviot Hills neighborhood—an average of 4,520 people per square mile, among the lowest densities for the city; The acreage include the open areas of the Cheviot Hills Park, the Rancho Park Golf Course and Hillcrest Country Club. Cheviot Hills Park is home to a recreation center, many basketball courts, and a baseball league. It also includes an archery range. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 7,303. The median age for residents was 42, older than the city at large; the percentages of residents aged 50 to 64 were among the county's highest.

The neighborhood was considered "not especially diverse" ethnically, with a high percentage of white people in comparison to the rest of Los Angeles. The population was 78.8% Non-Hispanic White, 9.1% Asian, 8.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% Black, and 2.5% from other groups. Japan (8.8%) and Mexico (7.7%) were the most common places of birth for the 20.8% of the residents who were born abroad—considered a low figure for Los Angeles.

The median yearly household income in 2008 dollars was $111,813, a high figure for Los Angeles, and the percentage of households earning $125,000 and up was considered high for the county. The average household size of 2.2 people was low for both the city and the county. Renters occupied 35.7% of the housing stock and house- or apartment owners held 64.3%.

The percentages of veterans who served during World War II or the Korean War were among the county's highest.
