A calm residential neighborhood by the beach
Ranked the No. 2 best neighborhood in Torrance on Niche, Seaside offers a tranquil setting — nicknamed "Sleepy Hollow" — only 2 miles from the beach. Although it's inland, it's close enough to the beach to smell the salt in the air and take a quick bike ride to the shore. What it lacks in beach views, it makes up for with its wholesome, community-oriented atmosphere and excellent schools, making it an ideal place to put down roots. "It's easily the most sought-after family neighborhood in Torrance," according to local Realtor Matt Tilley, who works with First Team Real Estate and has over a decade of experience in the area. "You're close enough to the beach that you can go whenever you want, but you don't have to deal with the crowds. It's a much more relaxing place to live."

A suburban feel and midcentury homes
There aren't many apartments or condos in Seaside, which gives the hilly, tree-shaded streets a classic suburban feel that can be hard to find elsewhere in the South Bay area. Residents can expect their neighbors’ yards to be well-groomed and stylishly landscaped due to the Seaside Neighborhood Association's Green Thumb Awards, earned by a household every spring, summer and fall. As expected of an in-demand neighborhood, houses in Seaside rarely hit the market. Midcentury modern homes can range from $1.5 million to $2.5 million, while ranch-style houses often start from $1 million and go up to $2 million.

The beach and more recreation
Apart from its close-knit community and excellent schools, Seaside's biggest draw is the South Bay Coast. It's a bike ride — or a very short drive — from the neighborhood to Torrance County Beach, where residents can surf, swim, sunbathe or go for a bike ride up the coast. It’s at a more low-key, less crowded destination than nearby Redondo Beach or Manhattan Beach. For those into hiking, there are miles of trails lining the bluffs and canyons of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, just south of Seaside. The neighborhood is also home to popular pitch and putt Sea-Aire Golf Course, which has nine holes and a playground for an afternoon spent with the kids.
