See www.mapquest.com!

All of the data for converting an address in a city to a lattitude and
longitude already exist. Probably more than one company has gone through
the trouble of creating city specific rules for converting the address
to a reasonable aproximate coordinate location, though I imagine that
they'd have blind spots when you get too far outside of the major urban
areas though.

Option #2: pay me $100,000 and I'll get the ball rolling on writing some
custom software to do what you want. Half now, half later of course.
