Inland suburban Torrance
East Torrance is a dynamic area that balances residential charm with commercial vitality. According to Erika Edwards, a Realtor with COMPASS, Torrance attracts those who might prefer it over locations like the Westside of Los Angeles. "You get more for your money, the traffic is significantly less, and the schools are excellent," she says. This area also is notable for the historic downtown, Old Torrance. Here, restored buildings hearken back to the city's early days. Prior to breaking ground in 1912, developer James Sidney Torrance touted it as a "planned modern industrial city" that would combine housing with industry. That heritage lives on with the business and residential mix in East Torrance.
