Unremarkable means ordinary, with nothing about it that makes you look twice. A perfectly fine street you would never describe to anybody.
It is a quiet word and mostly a neutral one, though in a description of a person it lands as a faint insult — an unremarkable man in an unremarkable coat. Medicine uses it as pure good news: a scan reported as unremarkable means nothing abnormal was found, and that is exactly what a patient wants to read. Writers like the word for setting a scene before something happens, since an unremarkable morning is how a great many novels begin.
