Torrance is tricky because some parts are very nice and others ghetto. East torrance is ghetto and scary and you wan to stick with area codes 90503/90505. if you are new to the area, stay in elsegundo, playa de ray, marina del rey, mahattan beach, redondo beach and hermosa beach. a 2bd 2ba cost you about 2 grand a month.
