Generally, an avenue is a bigger street, but not always. There are some pretty small avenues and really big streets. For all practical purposes they both are streets.
Another way of looking at it is that "avenue" is a more elegant way of saying "street," since the word "avenue" is from the French. Living on an "avenue" generally sounds better than living on a mere "street."
