This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This exists?! Oh my That's not just mildly, it's really interesting!
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.
I see!
But I don't see any planes or hangars there or in OPs image?
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.
Oooh, cool!
There are thousands of them.
Yup, John Travolta had and maybe still has a house like this to park his Boeing 707.
