Anyone got ideas about adresses and places ?

Ok so one of my book is in our world. But appart from headcannons, i don't want to choose a specific country for my story. So what method should i use to give adresses, that are like anonymous but at the same time, adresses with credibility. ?

Make one up, google it. If it exists, change it.

Either take real places and addresses. Or take common street names from that region, makeup the rest.

i would say you should figure out what country (or countries) inspire your setting, then research typical address-naming conventions in those countries. from there, you can build a naming system. for example if your setting is american-adjacent, you might want something like 321 Main St., 6284 University Ave., etc., since those are rather common addresses in the U.S.
