The following was in the main article. Probably belongs here instead.

Incorrect information. The area has never been predominately Jewish. Though there is a Jewish temple in Bixby Knolls, and there is a presence of Jewish faith residents, they have never dominated the population. There is only one shopping center - the Bixby Knolls Shopping Center - which is approximately 80-percent empty and has been in this capacity since the late 1980s. No new condos or apartment buildings have been constructed since the 1940s. The population is - and always has been - upper middle class Caucasian. There are some minority residents, but the do not represent a strong or "large" presence. Only two homes in the Virginia Country Club are behind gates. The one gate area in Bixby Knolls is a small street named La Linda Drive.

Not noted in the article: There is a growing number of middle-aged gay couples moving into the neighborhood. The two Bixby Knolls schools (Longfellow Elementary and Hughes Middle) are nationally-ranked Blue Ribbon Schools.

The home price range is accurate.
