Torrance real estate market/neighborhoods

[Ash Pate]

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on neighborhoods in Torrance. We are looking to move there and purchase a property that we can live in for a few years before turning it into a rental. Which areas are desirable in terms of the rental market? Our current investment strategy is long term buy and hold. Our budget is about million and we are only looking at areas that are safe for a young family to live in. My husband will be working at UCLA harbor which has narrowed our search down to Torrance and Long Beach. We are not familiar with the area and any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
