Hogwarts is a _big_ place and there's lots of it that we haven't seen. I
would imagine that it's able to offer accommodation to any of the staff that
need it.

I don't think that most of the staff are _required_ live in apart from those
who might have duties that would need them to be there outside teaching
hours (Dumbledore, the four Heads of Houses, Hagrid, Pomfrey, Filch...)

The depiction of the Ministry in OoP with the staff arriving for work was
interesting and I would see similar methods being used by those Hogwarts
staff who don't live in (subject of course to the fact that they can't
Apparate in - perhaps those who prefer to Apparate arrive in Zabini's caff
in Hogsmeade and pick up a coffee and a bacon butty before strolling up to
work!)

JKR has hinted that more could be said about whether or not the professors
are or were married but to date nothing has aired in the books.

Cheers
