DQnews.com released their monthly Southern California real estate report and February was a good month.  In Los Angeles County, single family home prices are up 21% from last year.  Condos are up 30%, which isn’t surprising (click here to see why).  Certain zip codes in Torrance even exceed those numbers; especially in Old Torrance. Old Torrance (90501), home to some of the oldest residences in the city, saw 14 sales at an average of 41.2% higher than February 2013.  According to this statistic, a home might have sold around $350,000 in 2013 and will now sell close to $490,000.  That’s a HUGE difference.  Granted, areas close to Downtown Torrance in the historical districts likely skew the dramatic price increase, as it’s a highly sought after area and still somewhat affordable (for Tor...

Torrance was founded on May 31, 1911 by Jared Sidney Torrance and Associates by the purchase of 2,791 acres of land from the Dominguez Estate Company for $976,850. Susana Dominguez del Amo sold an additional 730 acres to Torrance for $350 per acre. This land was originally a small part of the Spanish land grant called Rancho San Pedro, given to Juan Jose Dominguez in 1784 ( See the History of the South Bay for a discussion of the early Spanish land grant ranchos). At its inception, this planned industrial town provided housing for 500 people. In March 1912, Torrance had originally proposed that the new development be named "Dominquez". The post office would not allow the use of this name since there was already a post office with that name. On March 12, 1912, at a meeting of the board o...
