Yes, those were referred to in the real estate biz as "side-loading garages" and were supposedly quite desirable.
I agree with you that east of McKinney the streets quit being side streets and became residential. Those streets were probably developed moving west from Harper [[the houses were older). West of McKinney the houses were developed moving north from Whittier. Most everything north of Grayton was still empty fields on Nottingham, Beaconsfield, Roxbury, and Lakepointe during WWII.
