Comfortable homes and a convenient location
South Torrance brings together all the best parts of South Bay living in one convenient package. The neighborhood offers residents great schools, easy beach access, and ample shopping opportunities, not to mention a reasonable commute to most South Bay employers. "It's just a nice place to live," according to local Realtor Matt Tilley. "A really, really nice place. The schools are great, of course, and the homes are lovely, but what sets it apart from the rest of West Torrance is its convenience. You've got Highway 1 and 107 right there, so getting around town is a cinch." The neighborhood is especially popular with workers at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, the largest employer in town, which is located less than half a mile away. South Torrance is the type of under-the-radar neighborhood that might not stand out to those who don't live there. Those who do live there, on the other hand, understand what a special place it really is.

Modern suburbia
The local housing inventory is typical for the South Bay. There are a few pleasantly updated condos and townhouses to the north, but most of the neighborhood's residential blocks are lined with mid-century ranch-style homes and new traditional two-story homes. Driving along its quiet streets, you'll see restful shade trees and stately palms, well-maintained yards, and a variety of both native plant and flower gardens. This suburban dreamscape comes at a cost, of course. While home prices in the neighborhood don't hit the highs seen closer to the coast, it's still rare for single-family homes to sell for less than a million. If you're looking for something with more than 2,000 square feet of floor space, expect to pay somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million.
South Torrance's residential streets are a safe and relaxing place to go for a walk.
