Realtor Nancy Deprez with Vista Sotheby’s International Realty says, “Lomita is a great little city that’s close to other nice areas, including Torrance and Palos Verdes.”

Large lots, cottage-styles and homes with Spanish influences
Because Lomita was once a farming community, some parts of the city are still zoned agriculturally. This also means that lots are relatively large, often between five and 10,000 square feet. The average home price in Lomita is $870,000, which is largely due to some two-bedroom cottages in a 55 and over community that are priced around $250,00. You will see a few other cottage-style homes, many of which were built in the 1940s, that are going for about $780,000, but most single-family homes in Lomita are going to run around $1 million or more. For $1.1 million, you can get a three-bedroom ranch-style with a cozy fenced-in yard and an inviting porch. At the $1.3 million mark, you will find Spanish-style homes with stunning front columns and two-story Mediterranean-style homes with arched entryways and flawlessly landscaped lawns. You will also see 1970s split-level homes with Tudor-style accents that are fetching $1.4 million.
