Suburban street at heart of massacre’s centenary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crescent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'suburban street' is the definition.
'crescent' can be an answer for 'street' (No). I am unsure of the 'suburban' bit.

'heart of massacre's centenary' is the wordplay.
'heart of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CRESCENT' can be found hidden inside 'massacres centenary'.

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crescent that I've seen before include "Semi-circular shape" , "Way" , "Islamic emblem - shape as of moon" , "Young moon shape" , "Curved street or terrace" .)
