National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states
Apartment List has released Torrance's results from the first annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. The survey, which drew on responses from over 18,000 renters, provides new insights into what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the 105 million American renters nationwide.
"Renters gave Torrance extremely high marks for overall satisfaction driven by high satisfaction with safety and access to recreation," says Andrew Tam, Vice President of Data Science at Apartment List. "The US renter population is at its highest level in 20 years, and while Torrance grades quite well across most major categories, renters had slightly lower than average plans for homeownership, which indicates that they may look elsewhere in the longer term."
Key findings in Torrance include the following:

Small-town charm thrives in Olde Torrance, where this historic district showcases early 20th-century architecture surrounding a walkable downtown core. Rental options include apartments above storefronts and divided historic homes with character details unavailable in newer construction. The neighborhood offers excellent access to both El Camino College and the developing Torrance Boulevard corridor, creating an ideal environment for those seeking authentic community character within Los Angeles County's competitive rental market.
Coastal convenience thrives near Riviera Village's boutique shops, offering renters walkable access to Torrance Beach. Studio rents average $2.8k for units with ocean breezes, but summer fog dampens patio use June-August. Thin walls in 1960s complexes amplify neighbor noise.
Japanese-American fusion thrives at Mitsuwa Marketplace's ramen shops and Ken Miller Rec Center tea ceremonies. Honda HQ commuters face 710 Freeway diesel fumes—invest in air purifiers. Xeriscaped yards wilt under 115°F heat.
