In America, there is flexibility as to what your street address would be in this case, depending upon your legal jurisdiction.  It actually can be a straightforward process to change your address with both your local government and the post office.

For example, my brother moved into a neighborhood on a corner lot.  The side street was called "Laurie Drive" and the street his house faced was named something like "Bart Street" ... his address was on Bart Street.  Well, about a year after he moved in, his older neighborhood connected with a major housing development  ... and his street connected with the other neighborhood's street named "Gay Avenue" (it was a much larger street).  The planners decided to name the merged streets "Gay Avenue" since it impacted fewer residents.

My brother was furious.  He didn't want to live on "Gay Avenue".

So, he went through some process to get his addressed changed to the side street, and now his address is on "Laurie Drive".

True story.

A friend of mine lived on Tuatoru Street, Makaro Street and Marine Drive... I think they just chose a street for their address and stuck to it.

What the hell? Gay Avenue and Rising Phallus Drive would rule!
Rising Phallus would be so awesome, I'd probably get an erection just living there.

The driveway is the key.  Wherever your driveway points thats your street.  I know a few friends whose front door is on A st. but there driveway lies on B st.  there mail comes addressed to them on B st.

End of thread.
Not all houses are connected. Theres a few round my area, and I believe they are given the street name of the bigger street. And they actually do have the door and path on the intersection. lol
