I can't believe I forgot this one as I grew up in La Canada Flintridge, California: The "Flintridge" part has British-named streets (Oxford, Hampstead, Berkshire, Inverness, Wimbledon).
TheStranger:
The Sacramento suburb of Arden-Arcade has several streets named after inventors - Howe, Watt, Whitney, Marconi, Fulton, Edison, and Bell. (There's also a Wright Street in there somewhere)
agentsteel53:
the Pacific Beach neighborhood in San Diego has east-west streets named after gemstones, in alphabetical order. Beryl, Chalcedony, Diamond, Emerald, Felspar (not Feldspar as it should be), Garnet, Hornblend (not Hornblende as it should be). There's also a random Missouri St between Diamond and Emerald. Never quite figured that one out...
further north of Beryl, there are out-of-order Agate, Tourmaline, Opal and I think several others that I do not remember. A map lookup of zip code 92109 should reveal all.

Coelacanth:
Northeast Minneapolis has streets named for the presidents in chronological order.
They go by last name except where there are duplicates, so there's a Quincy and a Benjamin instead of duplicate Adams or Harrison. There's already a Grant elsewhere in the city so that street is Ulysses. They run from Washington to Coolidge.
North of the Twin Cities there is a series of streets, again alphabetical, that are animals. After that they get into chemical elements. I think Dysprosium St is my favorite street name anywhere.
