This is a tough question and can't really be answered on a forum. You can start by looking at a Wireless LAN Controller and MESH access points especially if your concern is streets and open areas. Other than that, if you plan on deploying outdoor wireless, a site survey is the way to go.

Adding to what Scott already said, the site survey will not only tell you how many APs, but where to put them, what power level, what channel, etc. It will also tell you what other wireless devices are present. If it's outdoors and close to other residences and/or buildings, you're probably looking at a 5 GHz survey. That way you have more channels to use to keep your signal-to-noise ratio high and avoid interference.

I would say that Mesh and a WLC as they pointed out before.
Regarding the Site Survey, please check the following:
