2700 Arlington Ave

A low-rise condo/townhome community in Torrance built in 1982, composed primarily of two-story walk-up buildings and duplex-style units offering three-bedroom floorplans. Exterior character is modest and residential with gated access, established landscaping, exterior lighting and rain gutters; many buildings are set back from the street with private patios or balconies facing gardens or neighborhood park views. Interiors commonly feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, skylights, abundant natural light, recessed lighting, crown molding, and open living areas anchored by fireplaces with marble, travertine, or brick surrounds. Kitchens are frequently updated with quartz or granite counters and modern stainless appliances; storage is generous with walk-in closets, attic spaces and private storage lockers. Primary suites tend to be oversized with dressing areas, dual sinks and private patio access in some units. Common elements emphasize comfortable, livable finishes—wood or laminate flooring, tile baths, ceiling fans—and practical amenities such as in-unit or nearby laundry closets and enclosed garage or assigned covered parking (often two side-by-side spaces). The homeowners association is typically self-managed or HOA-run, covering utilities and services like water, trash, basic cable/internet and landscaping, producing relatively low-maintenance ownership. Location benefits include proximity to Torrance Park, local schools, shops, dining, farmer’s market and convenient freeway access; the community appeals to those seeking a suburban, park-adjacent lifestyle with secure, established grounds and family-sized living areas.
