Hmmm, a very interesting concept and it makes a lot of sense (do you 
think there are good restaurants there too?  What does wizard ethnic 
food taste like?).  I have always imagined the wizard homes in the 
middle of suburbia as those being the people who keep to themselves 
and don't interact with their neighbors. The neighborhood would 
probably label them as eccentric and avoid the house.

I would like to add this to a thread started below on missing 
scenes.  I would love to see 'Wizardtown' in action.  I would imagine 
that in the heart of it, there is wizard activity while on the 
outskirts people just apparate/disapparate if they can.  Remember, 
however, that only some wizards apparate and they must have a 
license.  Can you imagine a scene where a group of muggles end up in 
the middle of 'Wizardtown' and attempt to stop and ask for directions?
