Torrance Schools….how they score

by

By Keith KyleTorrance High School

Without question one of the many reasons people want to live in Torrance is the highly ranked Torrance Unified School District.  From the elementary schools to the highly regarded high schools, the district has a lot to offer and always ranks high in state test scores.  Both South and West High were recently named one of the Top 500 Public High Schools by Newsweek.  See the school test scores in nearby Redondo Beach CA.

Torrance home sales and prices in January 2015

by

Torrance saw a relatively low number of homes sold in January with 63 homes, condos and townhomes closing escrow during the month (see Torrance real estate trends and market updates).  According to Torrance realtor Keith Kyle, “It’s not unusual to see a significant slowdown of closed home sales during January, as December is a very limited month for new listings and homes entering escrow.  With the holidays very little activity happens in the last 3rd of the month meaning far fewer closings in January.  Click here to view the home sales in Torrance, and other South Bay cities per month.

Torrance Real Estate Map – Search Homes by Neighborhood

by

Search current listings with our interactive Torrance real estate map.Torrance homes for sale

Torrance, California is a big city and it’s neighborhoods and areas vary considerably in the types of homes, feel of the neighborhood, and home prices.

As realtors, we search for homes by neighborhood so that we can best assist our clients to find the right type of homes in the right areas.

Below is a Torrance real estate map used by realtors and used in MLS home searches.  The numbers coincide with the areas that we use to search and each has it’s differences and similarities.  The three areas that often cause confusion are area 128 the Hollywood Riviera and areas 122 and 123, Harbor Gateway and County Strip.  Much of the Hollywood Riviera actually has Redondo Beach, 90277, zip codes but the area is actually part of Torrance and services and schools are Torrance.  The County Strip and Harbor Gateway areas actually have Torrance zip codes but are serviced by the city of Los Angeles.  It’s distance from the beach, proximity to commercial and industrial, and the schools being LA Unified makes the homes significantly less expensive then the city of Torrance areas.
