About an hour south of downtown LA between Hawthorne and Palos Verdes, Torrance combines the best elements of a relaxed coastal community, a classic American small town, and urban sophistication. The beach tends to attract people’s attention first. Generally left alone by tourists, Torrance Beach is a local favorite, creating a quieter and less crowded environment. The ocean is just the beginning of what makes this town so appealing.

From the swanky shopping at Del Amo Fashion Center (which is the third largest shopping mall in America) to the cozy charm of Old Town Torrance, this SoCal beach town gives renters tons of variety. Museums, city parks, and performing arts venues provide stimulating attractions for the locals. The mainly-suburban landscape, low crime rate, and excellent public schools have helped make the area highly attractive for Los Angeles area commuters raising families.
