Friendly faces and sea breeze in South Bay neighborhood
Torrance’s Riviera neighborhood is one of the few places in L.A. County where locals can enjoy the SoCal holy trinity: great schools, great shopping and great beaches. Contrasting with the busier Redondo Beach area just to its north, Riviera is known for its welcoming, residential vibe and laid-back beaches. "When most people think of Riviera, they think of the pleasant, inviting people you meet there," says Steve Hernandez, owner of TNT Aloha Cafe. Set between the Pacific Ocean to the west and Pacific Coast Highway to the east, residents are just as likely to be found spending time by the water as they are exploring local mom-and-pop shops. Seaside bluffs, daily views of the sunset and quick access to the rest of the city are just a few perks of Riviera's location. The hardest part of moving here is finding a house to move to; residents generally don’t leave the neighborhood unless it’s absolutely necessary, and when properties do come on the market they tend to get snapped up quickly.

Coastal homes with premium location
"Homes in Riviera are highly desirable," says Matt Tilley, a Realtor with First Team Real Estate who also lives in the area. Whether right next to the beach or up the hill near Los Arboles Rocketship Park, everywhere in Riviera is considered prime real estate. Throughout the neighborhood, winding, hilly streets offer glimpses of the ocean, and old-growth trees — hard to find in most of LA County — shade well-maintained sidewalks, ample yards and native plant gardens. Homes include a number of coastal condos, as well as a suburban mix of mid-century ranch-style homes, Spanish Revival and Craftsman-style builds. Home prices are typical of a Santa Monica Bay-adjacent neighborhood: one-bedroom condos sell for around $1 million, while three-bedroom homes sell from about $1.5 to $3 million. Houses larger than 3,000 square feet and mansions perched on the neighborhood's bluffs rarely spend long on the market and typically sell for anywhere from $4 to $8 million. The neighborhood is also known for being relatively safe, with a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10.

Torrance Unified public schools in the neighborhood

Older students attend Richardson Middle and South High, both of which also receive A ratings from Niche. South High has numerous highly decorated student programs, from its state-championship-winning marching band to a national-level dance team.

Heading outdoors around Riviera
Riviera's outdoor life centers around Torrance County Beach, which extends from the southern edge of the better-known Redondo Beach to the palisades of the Palos Verdes peninsula. “There are people in South Bay who don’t even know Torrance has a beach, which is great for locals because they can almost always find some open sand for sunbathing or an open wave to surf,” Tilley says. It’s a popular spot for sunbathing, surfing, and spearfishing, and it also has amenities like a bike path, volleyball nets and public restrooms. Just south of the beach, Malaga Creek Falls is a small hiking area that traverses the rugged coastline, offering views of the ocean, wildflowers and seaside cliffs. Located in the center of the neighborhood, Los Arboles Rocketship Park is also known for its view, looking out over the entire city of L.A. Climbing on the park's rocket-shaped playground, it's not hard for kids to imagine themselves flying over the city.

Eclectic, seaside shopping and dining in South Bay
One of Riviera's special qualities is its abundance of locally-owned restaurants. One neighborhood favorite for tropical eats is TNT Aloha Cafe, which has been serving Japanese and Hawaiian fusion meals since 2001. Patrons can order classic meals like spam musubi or a rice bowl paired with in-house, hand-made sausage and an ice-cold can of Hawaiian Sun. For most shopping and dining, however, residents often head down to Riviera Village. This walkable shopping district is located just a block from the coast, so visitors can hear the ocean waves crashing as they peruse a diverse mix of local shops and restaurants. Yellow Vase Cafe has a charming, light-filled atmosphere and outdoor seating for patrons to spend time enjoying pastries and coffee, while Friends of the Vine wine bar is a popular choice for after-work drinks. Dinner spots range from handmade pasta at Bettolino Kitchen to vegetarian wraps and soups at The Green Temple. Grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Vons are also in the area, along with options like H Mart lining Pacific Coast Highway
