Lots of Airparks in Florida, I have a friend with a home on one.He says the only regret they have is not buying a home there sooner...

Runway is well clear of the homes, taxing out to the ramp area/runway is by way of the residential area so care is needed when heading back to or from your home, most hangar their aircraft in the oversized garages attached to the homes.
They are gated communities so slim chance of meeting anyone who is not supposed to be there as you taxi along the street, they also have a golf buggy that can be used by any of the residents for safety to go ahead of you as you taxi back.

Central clubhouse for socialising with fellow aviators.

As for aircraft servicing, some have mechanics come out to do basic stuff like oil changes,brake pads, tyre replacement ect. if anything more that requires a workshop visit, then you are never more than a few miles from one, you can fly over get someone to drive you back or in many cases one of your fellow airpark residents will fly over to the airport in their plane and bring you back.
