quiet street

Calm residential road

A quiet street has little traffic or activity—the kind of residential road where children might play and neighbors chat over fences.

The phrase suggests peacefulness and safety: They moved to a quiet street in the suburbs.

Real estate listings use it to signal desirable, low-traffic locations.
