Learn English – Word for “void of people”

single-word-requests

I'm looking for a (preferably single) word to describe a place where there are no people. Empty somehow implies that there's nothing at all there, deserted says that people left or abandoned this place.

I'm not sure about peopleless, seems like a weird construction and I couldn't find it in a dictionary.

For example:

I looked out onto the street and it was ______
I walked into the lobby and it was ______
