Neighborhood Spotlight – Charming West Torrance

Welcome to the charming neighborhood of west TorranceTorrance homes for sale

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 $1,100,00,000 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 $1,600,000s and newer construction nearing $2,000,000.

Homes of all shapes and sizes for sale in Victoria Knolls

By Keith KyleHollywood Riviera homes for sale - 340 Via Colusa

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 $1,100,000s to over $2,000,000 for something updated with a view.

Torrance Home Sales in January 2015

Torrance saw a relatively low number of homes sold in January with 63 homes, condos and townhomes closing Torrance Home Searchescrow 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.
