South Bay's options for second homes, per USA Today

It's always interesting to see how the national media views the South Bay.

USA Today's Second Homes column this weekend turns its attention to the robust real estate offerings of the South Bay, focusing particularly on the possibilities for additional dwellings in the beach cities and Palos Verdes Peninsula:

Redondo is a regional destination for its seafood eateries, Hermosa is
known for its nightlife and bar scene, and posh Manhattan Beach skews
older. One development here, Manhattan Village, is a top choice for
second-home owners, including many professional athletes.

On the southern coast, Palos Verdes is much more rural, with extensive
equestrian facilities and high-quality golf courses. The highest-profile
development in the entire region is the 102-acre Terranea in Rancho Palos
Verdes, a new luxury resort and spa offering villas and casitas from $2.25
million to more than $5 million.

Poor Torrance: The so-called balanced city, the article states, is the most affordable second-home option in the South Bay, but has the fewest owners because of its large "industrial base."
