Southwood

The Southwood and West Torrance neighborhoods epitomize the best of living in Torrance. Situated just east of South Redondo and very close to the ocean, these delightful residential areas boast a milder climate compared to neighborhoods slightly farther east, benefiting from refreshing ocean breezes throughout the summer. 

Nestled between South and West Torrance and east of Redondo Beach, Southwood is a charming, small neighborhood characterized by tree-lined streets. Most homes, originally built in the 1940s and 1950s, have been remodeled, with some newer and substantially larger residences interspersed throughout the area. The community features an abundance of parks, and most schools are conveniently within walking distance, fostering a strong sense of community. Southwood, in conjunction with West Torrance, has emerged as two highly sought-after neighborhoods in the South Bay, with Southwood hosting the popular 55+ senior condo complex, Village Court. 

With smaller beach bungalow properties maintaining the neighborhood's intended aesthetic, there is still an increasing trend in larger new construction homes. Two-story residences are becoming more prevalent, though efforts are continuing to be made to preserve the neighborhood's original charm.
