The place I live has a fairly simple grid system with numbered avenues that run north-south and numbered streets perpendicular to them.
Avenue and Street differentiate those pretty well, and they also add NE/NW/etc. but use it as a prefix for avenues and a suffix for streets, so "NE 123rd Avenue" vs. "123rd Street NE".
Short sections are usually called "Place" with the number of the nearest avenue or street, but they copy the suffix/prefix along with the number.
As a result you can find for example, "NE 36th Place" and "36th Place NE" about a quarter mile from each other. Since the house number is based on the cross street, you can in theory end up with doppelganger addresses where the only difference is the position of "NE".
