I believe the city of Torrance is a diverse and safe city in Southern California! The Torrance unified school district is one of the best districts, and also has the best hospitals in the area. A very family friendly town with so many parks and things to do, not to mention all of the good food that comes out of this town.
Wonderful city, lots of food options, relatively safe, and a nice beach environment near coastal municipalities. The schools are well funded and the city hosts an assortment of public parks. Torrance is also home to the Del Amo Fashion Center, once considered the biggest small in the United States. Torrance also has some of the most beautiful suburban neighborhoods in coastal, Southern California. It is an equally diverse city with a suburban, business and industrial sector.
Torrance is a great city. Personally, the closeness to several beaches makes the city worth wild. Hollywood Riviera offers countless delicious restaurants as well as Old Town Torrance. Also the Del Amo Mall has all stores for all your shopping needs! A city great for families.
