I've racked my brains to no avail trying to find a correct and practical term to describe a location very close to the city centre (of the little town).
"Close to the city" is very cliche and sounds very generic, of course.
So how would paraphrase "XXX very to the city centre" in possibly better words?

Depending on the actual geographic location you could state "just south of the centre of town" (insert appropriate direction). In larger cities, the terms south-central (example) or the like are employed. There is no reason to my knowledge not to use it for a smaller city.
