West Torrance Homes for Sale

West Torrance tends to demand some of the highest home prices in the city with the exception of South Torrance.  West Torrance borders Redondo Beach and puts you at a maximum of 2.5 miles from the sand and the pier of Redondo Beach.  Along with this luxury, the schools in the area are regarded very highly.  Close to Del Amo Mall as well as many beach city shopping centers.  You will however have to drive a bit further for your 405 and 91 freeway on ramps, who minds when driving from their wonderful community.

Here is where Torrance starts to become more pricey.  There are currently only 25 homes for sell in West Torrance.  However, nearly 15 of them are in some form of foreclosure.

  • High - $849,000 - Includes 3 bedrooms and 3 bath with 1963 total square feet of living space.  This property is located at 849,000 5413 Towers St, Torrance CA.  The home is also set on a 7,715 square foot lot which is above the Torrance average of approximately 5500.
    • My Comments - The home doesn't stand out to me on curb appeal but makes up for it on the inside with spacious bedrooms and living rooms.  The kitchen and bathrooms appear to be upgraded with granite counter tops and nice fixtures.

  •  Low - $439,900 - Includes 3 Bedrooms and 1 Bath in only 1098 square feet.  The lot size is available upon request with the realtor.  This property is located at 4512 Cadison St, Torrance CA
    • My Comments - The only way this property can pull this type of price is due to the area it is in, and I don't think that is enough.  It seems to be lacking so much unless the lot is big enough for additions, I don't believe this property should sell for this price.  Take a look at the picture which is the only one they offered and you might agree, there is something better out there for you.
Note:  In my experience, if they don't provide pictures of the inside, this might be as good as it gets.



Here is a breakdown of median home sale prices for West Torrance.  As you can you, the uptrend in prices is higher when compared to the rest of Torrance reflecting the more prestigious area.  Median prices are approximately $100,000 higher.  Neighborhoods, Schools and properties themselves are notably better in this area.
