Real Estate Appraisers and Appraisals In
Los Angeles County, City of Torrance
| Torrance is the
seventh largest city in Los Angeles County named after its founder, oilman
Jared Sidney Torrance. Today, Torrance is considered by appraisers and
residents alike to be a very desirable place to live, reflected in the
ever-increasing property values and its proximity to the beach communities of
Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and the upscale coastal
communities of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Torrance is one of the few American
cities that approaches the ideal balance between the three major types of
zones. This explains its slogan: "A Balanced City, Industrial,
Residential, Commercial." Torrance however was not designed originally to
be a balanced city, in the past it was known as "Headquarters City,
Industry, Finance, Business." Torrance is home to the U.S. headquarters of
two of the three largest Japanese automakers, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. and
American Honda Motor Company. Robinson Helicopters are designed and built in Torrance
as are Garrett Systems turbochargers, used on automobile engines worldwide.
California's aerospace industry began in Torrance and surrounding communities.
Torrance is also home to the main bakery facility for King's Hawaiian, the
dominant brand of Hawaiian bread in North America. |
