central location

Convenient meeting point

A central location is a place that sits at or near the middle of a relevant area, making it convenient to reach from multiple directions.

The phrase emphasizes accessibility and equidistance: We picked a restaurant in a central location so everyone could get there easily.

Real estate listings use it to mean close to amenities and transportation.
