    [quote=CostaMesa]Safety of what? A buncha Leisure World folks driving around in golfcarts and terrorizing the neighborhood? Please. OK, some of these folks can smell pretty bad.

    No greater risk of hooligans in SB than PV has from San Pedro. Probably less.

    FLU – Are you worried about the Navy base? I simply do not understand what you’re getting at…unless it’s an anti-OC dig that went over my head.

    Belmont Shore is adjacent and quite nice also, if being in LA County matters. [/quote]

    Maybe I’m confusing seal beach with something else, but I thought Seal Beach was proned to gang activities. Maybe I’m thinking of something else. Pardon if that is incorrect.

    If you can afford Palos Verdes, Torrance is not for you. Based on where you said you grew up, RSF/ Del Mar, PV is the most like that you can find in LA. Its wealthy, but not Palisades wealthy. Its walkable as FLU says, but mostly you have to drive to go anywhere. Can’t comment on the schools as I only went to kindergarten there, but I’d imagine they are some of LA’s better schools. The biggest drawback is getting in and out. Its a long way over the hill (to Torrance) or into San Pedro to catch the 110.

    I think we’ve narrowed it down to PV because of the schools, but the shoreline looks to be all rocks and cliffs. Is that correct? I’ve been putting various PV and RPV addresses into the walkscore.com site and it is surprising what a difference there is in each location walkability-wise.
    We will also visit Torrance and Manahattan Beach schools to see if they are a better fit for us. I think each high school has a certain feeling to it and the kids will know right away.
    We are actually tired of our big beautiful house here and want to find a 1-story or other small beach cottage – even a condo would do for the short term. I am not seeing anything like that in PV or RPV either. We are done with the RSF-esque living (that is what we have now). Too much cleaning and maintenance.
