South Torrance Geography
South Torrance topography is mostly flat but the area does have some hills in the Seaside Ranchos- Vanderhill Hill area and Warmside avenue area View properties only exist in the hilly areas. The South Torrance area butts up to the Hollywood Riviera on the west.
Most locations in Torrance originally required fill before housing tracts could be built due to poor drainage which filled with water after the winter rains. South Torrance is the area that has had the majority of soil problems over the years because the fill was improperly installed, the former lake Walteria extended into this area. At the time of the land filling the developer used proper filling procedures, but soon after problems developed in the area due the expansive nature of the fill.
The filling procedure was then considered as improper. The fill contained Adobe soil which expands with water. Major problems resulted such as walls and chimneys falling down, changes in the angle of flooring, doorways were distorted and more. Many homes were in such bad shape that they had to be completely torn down Since a large area was filled improperly filled there is little that can be done to solve the issue. Residents however have adjusted to this condition .
Despite this condition residents have learned the proper techniques of controlling the situation. The areas remains a favorite for residents and new home buyers.
Homes in this area are priced very favorably compared to other areas of the city.
