LOS ANGELES - If you tuned in to Monday’s debut of “Victoria Beckham: Coming To America,” you know Posh and Becks didn’t choose Spider-Man’s Hollywood hills ’hood to make their home.

In the end, a Beverly Hills address won out, which will make for some very high-powered trick or treating come Halloween.

Their reported $22 million spread is the current toast of the town, but the Beckhams also boast some not-too-shabby neighbors. Access Hollywood takes a closer look at who the couple can hit up for a cup of sugar.

“Are the Cruises your new neighbors?” Access' Billy Bush asked Victoria during a recent sit-down.

“They live like five minutes down the road,” she revealed.

But that’s just the beginning. Jay Leno, Priscilla Presley and “X-Men” director Brett Ratner all call the same Beverly Hills neighborhood home, where legacy is every bit as important as proximity.

Ratner’s home once belonged to legendary “Casablanca” actress Ingrid Bergman.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have opted for the quiet island life of Bermuda, but they once resided on the very same street as the Beckhams do now.

Fred Astaire once danced down a driveway on the very same street, while Raquel Welch owned the same abode once occupied by Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

Faye Dunaway lived right around the corner from the Becks’ new palace and Sammy Davis Jr. and George Hamilton both also called the same street home.

On the other side of the road, game show guru Merv Griffin once resided, as did Jack Lemmon and Spencer Tracy.

Indeed, the new Beckingham Palace gives a whole new meaning to keeping up with the Joneses.
