As a general rule of thumb Torrance gets better the further West and North you go. The seedier areas are quite obvious. The part of Torrance that starts to rise “up the hill” into Rolling Hills and RPV is probably the nicest, but there are other good areas as well. The side by Carson not so nice. As I stated earlier Torrance is very large for an LA community. I write this of course as I look out the window of the 7th floor of Harbor UCLA Medical Center, which is right at the Torrance/Carson border.
