Great neighborhood in the South Bay of SoCal - 9/1/2020
I have lived in Torrance for 19 years. I was fortunate enough to move here before housing prices skyrocketed in the early 2000's. I live in the middle of Torrance and as of this review (2020) it is challenging to purchase a small 3 bedroom home for less than $800,000.
The upsides of this city:
- safe neighborhoods
- distinguished schools
- very close to excellent beaches
- great year round weather
- huge variety of dining options
- near by excellent entertainment options (sports, music, amusement parks, etc.)
- great shopping options
- a vast array of employment opportunities
- nearby excellent universities
- excellent health care options

- Very high cost of living (especially home prices)
