Review of Torrance, California


Great place but homes expensive, cant buy on $115k
Star Rating - 9/9/2006
Considering the craphole cities surrounding Torrance except to the west, its a great city to live in. The police are on their jobs and not lazy like LAX cops that sign in and go eat donuts and drink coffee the rest of the shift. The surrounding cities around Torrance are truely crapholes with terrible school districts due to the students themselves. I have seen a bit of undesireables moving into Torrance but they quickly move out.Probably because the police dont play the race card b.s. that other cities do like LAPD. Los Angeles fell apart because they didnt keep the minorities in check back in the 60's and now its a major craphole city with crime, illegals, etc...My background is Cuban but born here. The cops are not being racist but reacting to the situations at hand. I fully support them and thats why Torrance is still a great place to live after being here over 19 years. The downside is the price of homes, cant buy a home on $115k salary! But the prices are reflective of the quality of the city. If prices were to move down drastically an influx of dirtbags would move in with their loud music, drugs, etc. I will continue renting and invest the rest instead of moving from here, not many places have the ocean breezes with the schools that my daughter enjoys so much.

Robert, Are you still living in the Torrance area? I am considering a move to the area and wanted to get your advice on what "nice" area of Torrance I want to focus looking for a place to rent, preferrably a home, townhome, or condo. Any suggestions?
