      They are somewhat common-ish if you know where to look. I fly by one a lot!

        Indeed, one of our regional airports has housing with taxi ways to the runway as well. Instead of garages for cars they have hangers for the planes and cars.

          Residential hangers just look like big garages.

          Look for shed like things that connect to taxiways. They aren’t huge and don’t need to be if the aircraft is smol.

      These exist all across the country! Here’s a fun fact, the street signs are all 2 feet tall in these neighborhoods so that even low-wing airplanes can make turns around corners that have signs without risk of completely destroying their plane.

      Yup, John Travolta had and maybe still has a house like this to park his Boeing 707.
