Harbor Area Neighborhoods
5 neighborhood guides for sellers and buyers.
The Harbor Area is the City of Los Angeles's southern tip: San Pedro on the peninsula with its coastal bluffs and historic Vinegar Hill, Wilmington and the Banning Park HPOZ, Harbor City around Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park, and the Harbor Gateway strip that connects it all to the rest of the city. Housing is 1920s to 1960s single-family on standard lots, with ocean-view homes in San Pedro and new townhome development near the waterfront. Measure ULA, the 9A report and City rules apply; Torrance, Lomita, Carson and Rancho Palos Verdes next door are separate cities.
