Sitting just east of Redondo Beach and little further than a mile from the beach, West Torrance is a fantastic community with tree lined streets, award winning neighborhood schools that are often within walking distance, loads of great parks and all just a short drive to the beach. Bordered by 190th to the north it enjoys mild coastal weather, proximity to shopping and dining, and has a wonderful community feel.

The homes in the area are generally 3 bedroom 1200 feet single family homes that are remodeled or updated and built in the 1940’s and 50s. Unlike some of the nearby communities such as Manhattan and Hermosa Beach in which “mansionization” has become a big problem, west Torrance still retains much of it’s original charm and feel with the majority of the homes being appropriately sized for the lots. Lot sizes range from around 5000 feet to larger 8000+ foot lots and all are highly sought after. Prices have skyrocketed in the past several years with smaller 3 bed/1 bath homes nearing the low $700,000 with updated and expanded (many of the homes added a living room and bath in the distant past giving many homes square footage ranging between 1400 and 1700 feet) homes selling in the lower to mid $800,000s. Although only 4 homes sold in November 2015 the average sales price was a whopping $951,000.
The many appealing factors to west Torrance are the numerous parks including Entradero, La Romeria, Sunnyglen and Victor, the fantastic schools of the Torrance Unified system including Lynn Middle School, Towers and Victor Elementary and West Torrance High School. West High was even named to the Newsweek 500 top public high schools in the country.

Update**As of January 25th this home had received 28 offers and were no longer accepting new offers. This wasn’t surprising given the price being so far below market value for this West Torrance neighborhood.
We haven’t seen a price like this in west Torrance in some time and this one is definitely on the radar for many buyers. The home needs extensive work but has some great bones and it’s in an ideal location. The price probably eliminates all but the most daring flippers as it probably needs additional square footage and a master bath, but it seems an ideal fit for the owner user that wants to do the rehab work themselves. Other than the bathroom… a coat of paint, refinishing of the hardwood floors (from what we could see they were in great shape under the carpet) and lots of cosmetic love would go a very long way in making the home livable.
One challenge is the very odd somewhat enclosed patio leading off of the side and back of the house. It’s just…well…odd and doesn’t feel like an indoor or outdoor space. It also wasn’t permitted so the simplest solution is probably a sledgehammer.

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.
