Kitbashing. I don't recall a bundle that has houses and streets/cars. There are a lot of sets with the streets and lights, and I'm trying to think of what I used that either had a park or I made it into one. I'll surf and see if I can spot it. It would be easy to put homes around it.
In the Unity Asset store there are many free and paid both, Street construction sets so go there. Because they are for games they tend to be lower resolution than DAZ or Poser models but just how much detail does a street section need anyway?
You can also use either the Bryce bridge or Carrara as plugins (each has its limitations and its advantages).
- Bryce can make whole environments. See the vendor page for David Brinnen for examples
- Carrara can also do environments. Here are examples of cities and villages available here at Daz

Thank you all for the quick answers!
High quality If possible
Over on the other site, you can find the "Movie Sets, City Blocks" by DreamlandModels. It's a bit pricey to get ALL the blocks, but they make a whole city. A few put together with a good background can make a good city scene.
Hi Diomede! Thanks for the help! I just want to use Daz at the moment. I'm just a beginner
http://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-2-the-big-city is more of city with apartment/office buildings but it does have some nice street assets and props.
http://www.daz3d.com/streets is a set of street props specifically.
The vendor DreamlandModels at Rendo has a series of product called Movie Sets, City Block. They are Poser optimized so I have no idea how much work there are to use in DAZ Studio.
The vendor Powerage at Rendo has a number of products Mon Quartier, Goldenwood, Residential, and POWERTOWN. They are for Poser as well and I do not have them so I cannot speak for how they look in DAZ Studio.
There's also this for signs.

Firstbastion has a great NeighboursYard set.
if you want to look at Powerage at rendo he has a awesome set called power town that is for poser but it works very well in Daz Studio its a complete village with streets building and props acept for the people and the cars & trucks etc
Okay, found what I used a year or so ago. You can add more grass planes to this and have a fun setup, but it gives you the curves in the roads and not just straight lanes. I made a park, put houses, etc. I like the fencing along the road too, very classy. I used Funland for the kids park (brought in a tree too, it was Lisas Mighty Oak. No longer available. This render is Sept 2013, I was a newbie!) You can probably go to Surfaces and select the gold trim on the fences and take those out. Not sure though.
If you are a PC member- you get this for $1.99. Streets, street signs- there you go!

Thanks Novica!

you can also look at some renderosity products like:

by DreamlandModels
I suggest also to have a look at other products by DreamlandModels
another vendor has this set:

you're welcome.

Many of the houses they sell include yards, sidewalks and streets, with a little work you can make whole neighbourhoods.
The Dreamland models at Rendo work great in Poser, DAZ and Vue (many of the promos were done in Vue). They've been having some really good sales on these, so if you're patient, you can slowly get the set for pretty good prices.
yes dreamland models work good in daz. you just have to make some minor adjustments to the material and some of the Python scripts that create the wet maps and puddles won't work in daz. But the sky dome is awesome for large scenes when kit bashing in Daz Studio.
Dreamland and Powerage's sets generally work quite well. If you have the PoserGlossover script from YURDigital, it's pretty much a one click operation to get a decent conversion for 3DL. I've got almost all of Dreamland's sets, as well as Powerage's "Residential", "View Quartier" and "Powertown" and have never had an issue with them. I need to go back and see how they fare in Iray, but in general I've found that Poser items work just as well as older DAZ items there. Another Rendo artist to look at is Greenpots, who has some great residential area sets including a massive school/stadium/theater series.
