Lomita offer small-town charm in busy Los Angeles County
Lomita is a young city in Los Angeles County, founded in 1964 after nearby Torrance tried to annex the community that thrived on small-town life. That small-town feel remains today, where people can walk to restaurants, parks and bus stops. You're also minutes from Torrance’s shopping centers and routes to major employers. Lomita offers a quieter, slow-paced life surrounded by busier cities, so you’re in the middle of all the action.
Lomita offers a variety of flat land and hilly areas.
There is no shortage of shopping at various malls and strip centers just outside Lomita.

How Lomita offers more space and larger homes than nearby areas
Marivel Kuenstler is a Realtor and Broker at Compass who has an affinity for Lomita because of the atmosphere. “It’s a small community, where everyone knows each other,” Kuenstler says. “[It’s very peaceful, very quiet.” The more relaxed setting is thanks to the city trying to prevent the area from becoming too developed, so you won’t see a lot of high-rise apartment buildings. There are manufactured homes that start around $20,000 and sell into the lower $300,000s. Most properties have single-family homes with bungalow, contemporary or Spanish-inspired designs. Home prices usually range from the mid-$600,000s to around $2.1 million. Prices in Lomita are lower than in Torrance and Rolling Hills Estates. "You get a lot more for your money in Lomita,” Kuenstler says. “They have big lots in weird shapes because it used to be a farming area. It was known as the celery capital.” There are rental options in Lomita as well, mainly in mid-rise apartment complexes or owner-occupied multifamily properties.
Spanish-style homes are a common sight in Lomita.

Where to go for time outdoors in Lomita
Kuenstler says she used to take her kids to Lomita when they were young because of the parks. When you want to get out, you might visit:
Lomita Park, the largest green space with athletic courts, a multipurpose field and a large playground
Irene Lewis Park, which has a wide-open field near the Lomita Railroad Museum
Lomita Library, with its story time and craft events for all ages
Living in Lomita also means being about 8 miles, or roughly 20 minutes, from White Point Beach in Los Angeles, where you can visit the White Point Nature Preserve center or walk near the rocky shore. Rancho Palos Verdes has even more to do near the ocean.
Lomita Park offers a wide variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy.

All the diverse places to dine out and shop
You have a variety of restaurants to choose from across Lomita. “I love it for the food,” Kuenstler says. “It has one of my favorite Thai places. ... You can go to your favorite pizza place, to a brewery, walk around to a park or a fancy bakery.” Kotosh serves Peruvian dishes and sushi, while Alfredo’s has been a busy spot for Mexican food since 1987. When you want to go shopping, you can take a short drive, walk or bus ride to Torrance’s Whole Foods grocery store or shopping centers like Torrance Crossroads.
Whole Foods is where many Lomita residents shop for groceries.

Two different bus lines pass through Lomita.
Lomita has freeway access and other ways to get around
You can walk or bike along the city’s sidewalks to get around Lomita, but there are also ways to commute outside the city. There are also Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and Torrance Transit buses running throughout the city. Some people commute down Interstate 110 to work at the Port of Los Angeles, 8 miles from Lomita. “People [who] work at SpaceX are moving this way,” Kuenstler says. “It’s more affordable and closer to the freeway.” SpaceX has campuses clustered near each other in Hawthorne and Gardena, and Lomita is about 15 miles away when driving down I-110 and Interstate 105. Traffic causes delays, making the trip over 30 minutes.
