Carroll Avenue, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County

Carroll Avenue

Carroll Avenue is a street in Angelino Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Los Angeles, located just a mile from downtown. The street, particularly the 1300 block, has the highest concentration of Victorian houses in Los Angeles. The Italianate and Craftsman styles are represented as well. The picturesque neighborhood has served as the backdrop for countless motion pictures from the earliest days of cinema to the present. Several of the homes have been featured in television shows like “Charmed” and “Mad Men,” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. Carroll Avenue is a US Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the houses are Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments.
