Homes of all shapes and sizes for sale in Victoria Knolls
By Keith Kyle
Victoria Knolls is a small, and somewhat, unknown neighborhood in the Walteria section of Torrance. It also happens to be one of my favorite neighborhoods. With one way in and one way out, and sitting high on the hill the neighborhood offers a great community feel with quiet streets, appropriate sized homes (most of the time) and many homes offer great views of the city. As of this article there are currently 4 homes available in this area which is a rarity. The homes range in price from the high $600,000s to over $1,000,000 for something updated with a view.

Torrance Schools….how they score
By Keith Kyle
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.
