Map 30

Torrance is still conspicuously suburban, with its tract homes and big-box retail outlets, but it, too, is feeling the residential push from the west. If you're looking for a mall-style chain retailer, you'll likely find it in the South Bay Galleria. El Camino isn't just a bitchin' ride, it's also a local community college that's worth a gander for recent North High grads or those wishing to rejoin the educational world.
