Torrance
Torrance, the 4th most populated bedroom city in Los Angeles County, has 141,500 residents.
It boomed in the 50’s and 60’s with mostly three bedroom houses. Newer homes have four or five bedrooms. Two thirds of residents own and the remainder rent. Many streets go all out with trees and flowers.
Served by the Torrance Unified School District, education is strongly supported. Most schools rank in the 60 to high 90th percentile. Crime is suburban average.
Hawthorne Blvd. has a huge mall (Del Amo) and almost every other store known to modern civilization. If you can’t find it here, it doesn’t exist. There are two dozen parks, five libraries and El Camino Community College.
Business booms with large financial centers, car dealerships, manufacturing and medical to small businesses, hotels, restaurants, retail, Honda headquarters and oil refinery.
Pockets of Torrance touch the beach but residents living inland travel two to five miles to the beach, 19 miles to downtown Los Angeles and seven miles to LAX.
