Torrance Review Best Places
Great neighborhood in the South Bay of SoCal
Star Rating - 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
To me the cons are as follows:
- Very high cost of living (especially home prices)
- Traffic within the city and every single nearby major boulevard and freeway
- Increasing population density for Torrance (and most of SoCal)
- Claustrophobia due to the traffic and population density
If you are fortunate enough to be able to work from home while being able to afford the high cost of living, the central SoCal location of Torrance is perfect. But for many of us the reality is a major daily commutes of 2 to 4 hours to and from work during the week. That week of long commutes makes you reluctant to experience it during the weekend because there is still major traffic all day Saturday and Sunday. Claustrophobia may settle in because you just do not want to hassle the traffic. Unfortunately, you can miss out on the huge variety of experiences the Greater Los Angeles area has to offer.
