This definition dating from the jazz age is a house on the major street where all the action is. People living there would near fine restaurants, live music and nightclubs. Out your window you would see people wearing their sunday best as they walked down the boulevard.

Life was never better than when we lived at the boulevard house.

One thing I miss about the boulevard house is looking out the window and seeing all those people dressed to the nines.
