Best things about Torrance that nobody talks about
As a 5-year resident, here are some things about Torrance that don't make it into the guides:
1. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is incredible
2. Several hidden gem restaurants that rival big city food
3. Cost of living is way better than people think
Happy to answer questions.

Check out the Old Town area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.

Coming from Phoenix, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are about the same.
