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.
The city of Torrance has an amazing feeling of home to it. Due to it being a smaller city, it is very easy to meet the people around you and live in a very connected community. Its location in comparison to other areas of Southern California is considered convenient and "in the middle of everything" by many. Although there isn't much to nightlife, the city has many beautiful and restaurants and places with unique qualities to them so one could still have an amazing night out. The city overall is a perfect place for families and even young individuals. Torrance has something to offer, no matter who you are!
I've lived in Torrance for over 10 years and all I have to say is LOCATION! Wherever you live in Torrance, in the outskirts or downtown, there's always something to do! The beach (Torrance, Redondo, or Hermosa) is a 10 minute drive. There's also the famous Del Amo mall, where you can get shopping done! Downtown LA is 20 minutes away down the 110 freeway! Running out of things to eat? Don't fret: Torrance offers a diverse variety of foods ranging from Peruvian, Mexican, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Indian, and American options! So many trendy coffee shops are popping up, too! If what you're looking for isn't in Torrance, neighboring cities like Redondo, Carson, Gardena, Lomita, Harbor City, Palos Verdes are all in a range of a 5-15 minute drive to get to what you need!
Here in Torrance we experience pristine SoCal weather! Since we are so close to the beach, the average temperate is between 75-82 degrees! It's amazing!
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else! :)
