Poco natural
Hi! The word residence is not incorrect, but it feels a little out-of-place. Is it a house? Is it an apartment? It's better to specify what kind of "residence" it is. You could also use home. "At" should" be "on."
Here is the sentence rewritten: "Our house/home/apartment is located on a quiet street."
Hope this helps :)
