Seaside Ranchos A Great Combination of Neighborhood Feel and Beach Proximity

April 17, 2014 by Keith Kyle

By Keith Kyle

Many buyers actively seek Torrance neighborhoods for the wonderful community feel, tree lined streets, great schools and family friendlyVia Colusa living room vibe.  Nowhere is this more embodied than in the Seaside Ranchos area of South Torrance.  The Seaside Ranchos neighborhood is often called Sleepy Hollow or the Christmas Lights area due to the annual show put on by the residents with lights strung across the Chinese Elm trees that line the streets.  Sitting just North of Pacific Coast Highway as it turns inland near the Palos Valos Peninsula the neighborhood is a collection of beautiful homes on larger lots.    The majority of the homes offer 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and due to the much larger lots than in most areas of Torrance often have fantastic backyards.

The tree lined streets offer a very safe and friendly feel and give the area it’s “Christmas Lights” nickname as all of the community trees are wrapped in white lights during the holidays and rare is the home that isn’t decorated with lights and decorations.  The area has become so popular during the holidays that traffic is restricted in the evenings and cars line up for seemingly hours to drive through the spectacular display.  Prices generally start in the low $1,000,000s and can price over the $2.5M mark for some of the most impressive homes on oversized lots.  One of the newest communities in the South Bay is just nearby as well.
