[[Hollywood California|Beverly Hills]] is such an iconic place that just putting that in the title of a work is a selling point on its own. Just slap the words "Beverly Hills" in the title and make the city your setting, and you have half the work already made.
For many, the city has become synonymous with a collection of [[Rich People]] stereotypes: wealth, superficiality, frivolity, etc, so using the name helps make titles seem [[High Concept]]. There are [[Rich Bitch|richer and bitchier]] areas than Beverly Hills, but only [[Viva Las Vegas|Vegas]] rivals it as an icon of excess. The only place that rivals it for titles is [[American Title|America at large]].
