I live on the 5th floor on one of those buildings. Which building? It doesn't matter - they all look the same. If this was the US, they'd call it the 6th floor.
Trams run on this street - you can see the tracks. There are a bunch of shops in this neighborhood too. They're expensive, but nothing like the shops on Bahnhofstrasse. (More about Bahnhofstrasse later.)
Somebody told me 'Seefeld' comes from the words See (ocean or lake) and feld (something to do with view). Well, I can't really see the the Zurich lake (or Zürichsee) from my place, even though it is pretty close by. Anyway, I'm not sure I believe the story behind 'Seefeldstrasse' because I couldn't find 'feld' or anything similar in the German dictionary (See was in there and it means ocean, sea or lake). But I will ask around to find out.
Strasse means street - if you didn't know you should have guessed by now. I haven't seen a single address in Zürich that didn't end in strasse.
