residential street
Where homes line
A residential street is a road lined primarily with houses or apartments rather than businesses or industry.
These streets typically have lower speed limits, less traffic, and a quieter character than commercial thoroughfares: We moved to a residential street so the kids could play outside.
The term often implies a neighborhood setting with sidewalks, trees, and driveways.
