Lomita
Lomita is a small, middle-class community of 20,300 squeezed between Torrance and Rolling Hills Estates. Meaning “little hill”, most of the city is flat except for the southern section rising into the hills.
Incorporated in 1964, about 60% of residential units were built between the 50s and 80s. Homes in the flatlands reflect the housing styles of that era. As you move toward the hills, some homes have views, customized touches and more extensive landscaping.
Single family homes are more prevalent than apartments. Crime is extremely low.
Los Angeles Unified School District serves the community and percentiles rank from 50s to 90s. There are five parks, a wading pool, public library and a railroad museum.
Downtown Los Angeles is 22 miles but Long Beach is only six miles away.
The local chamber of commerce can be reached at (310) 326-6378.
