The books hint that they live outside Ottery St. Catchpole and that 
the Weasley's play Quidditch in a paddock but they have to fly low to 
prevent Muggles from spooting them.

IIRC, in "Fantastic Beasts", some magical creatures are "protected" 
species. That is, they are enchanted so that Muggles don't notice 
them. Gnomes probably fall under this category.
