Normandie Avenue is one of Los Angeles County's longest north–south streets, with a stretch of about 22.5 miles (36.2 km). It lies between Western Avenue to the west and Vermont Avenue to the east. The avenue begins in the south by branching off from Vermont Avenue south of Pacific Coast Highway in Harbor City. Through traffic on Normandie is directed onto Irolo Street between just north of Olympic Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard; in this section, Normandie exists as a small residential street. After crossing Franklin Avenue, Normandie resumes as a residential street before reaching its northern terminus at Ambrose Avenue in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles.

History

Normandie was originally named Rosedale Avenue until 1900. The intersection of Florence and Normandie is noted for its involvement in the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The street has since been redeveloped.
