Graceful Neighborhood

I walked my puppy just now. I stumbled upon how graceful our neighborhood is.It was already dark at that time. Sparse street lamps formed a circle in trimmed bushes emitting faint light, so I could see the surroundings clearly. Occasionally, there were a few passersby.I walked around the oval road in the neighborhood. Faint sounds of vehicles spread into the neighborhood. My puppy ran toward me from time to time. The atmosphere was so peaceful and elegant.

Usually, I was busy with work at that time. I had never experienced that.I find that wonderful things are never lacking in our lives. What's lacking are the eyes to notice them.

Graceful Neighborhood

I walked my puppy just now.

I stumbled upon how gracerealised how beautiful our neighborhood is.

Graceful refers specifically to movement, eg. a ballerina may seem graceful in their day to day life due to their training, or a swan may move gracefully across the water. Some good words for a neighbourhood could be beautiful or nice.

You could also say: "I stumbled upon the realisation of how beautiful our neighbourhood is."

You could also add a qualifer to the start of your sentence to link it more strongly to your previous sentence, eg. "While we were walking, I realised..." or "While I was doing that, I realised..."

It was already dark at that time.

Sparse street lamps formed a circle in trimmed bushes and emittinged faint light, so I could see the surroundings clearly.

The way you have written it, it kind of sounds like the bushes were emitting the light. Your sentence is not technically wrong, but I changed it to make the meaning clearer.

My puppy ran toward me from time to time.

Usually, I wasould be busy with work at that time.

Would and could are for talking about hypotheticals, or things that aren't happening now but otherwise would/could be happening if things were different, ie. if you weren't walking your puppy you would be working.

I had never experienced that.

Great job! I only wonder if graceful is the right word to use here at the start of your writing. Well done!

If you don't want to replace "graceful" with "beautiful" or "nice," another option might be "harmonious." That would suggest that the design and the function of the spaces, natural features, etc. work well together.

But I don't think "graceful" is wrong. Architecture can be described as graceful, so why not a neighborhood? Part of being a good writer is creating vivid images through the words you choose. A graceful neighborhood is much more memorable than any of the alternatives.
