Living in Torrance
Torrance is located in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County in California, and is known for its long stretch of beaches. Nicknamed ‘T Town’, the city has plenty to offer and expats living in Torrance will be able to enjoy sights such as Wilson Park which has a wide range of facilities for picnics as well as many sports facilities. Torrance Beach is a particularly popular place for residents to visit and is located between the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Santa Monica Bay. Expatriates living in Torrance will also be able to experience attractions such as the Del Amo Fashion Center, which is one of the largest malls in the US, the Torrance Cultural Arts Center, the Torrance Art Museum and many others. The city benefits from a number of bars and restaurants as well as a strong Japanese scene because of the many Japanese businesses which have a presence in the area.
Moving to Torrance
Expatriates moving to Torrance will find the cost of living is comparable to a number of other cities in California, although less than major cities such as Los Angeles. Getting to other locations in Los Angeles and California is easily done by road and by rail and Torrance is closely located to Los Angeles International Airport and Long Beach Airport. Expats moving to Torrance with families will find that there are a number of private and public schools in the city which come highly recommended. The city benefits from a Mediterranean climate featuring hot summers and mild winters, with most of the rainfall occurring in the cooler months. Newly arrived expats in Torrance will benefit from joining InterNations, where they can take advantage of the website’s many features whilst interacting with fellow expatriates who may be able to provide useful information about the city or expat life in general.
Working in Torrance
There are many opportunities for expatriates working in Torrance, with a number of industries present in the area. The city is known for being home to major automobile companies such as Toyota USA, Honda as well as Robinson Helicopters, whilst a number of other businesses also have bases in Torrance such as Aurora Publishing, Lexus International and King’s Hawaiian. The area is rich in oil with a number of wells present thus providing many opportunities to work in this industry, whilst other major areas of employment include retail, public services and health. For more information about finding work in Torrance, as well as other areas such as education, housing, culture and more, expats should sign up to InterNations and make use of its networking and socializing opportunities with members from all over the world, who may be able to offer advice about moving to Torrance as well as California in general to help any expatriate new to the city settle in quickly.
