leafy streets
Shaded neighborhood roads
Leafy streets are residential roads lined with mature trees whose branches and foliage create a canopy overhead.
The phrase evokes quiet, established neighborhoods with dappled light and shade: They bought a house on one of the leafy streets near the park.
The image suggests affluence, comfort, and removal from urban grit.
