A fun book about a family with a bunch of kids and their previously grumpy neighbor who lived in an old trolley car is "The Trolley Car Family" by Eleanor Clymer - came out in 1947. Read this just before I started on the Ransome books. This was probably my primary inspiration for living in my old school bus off and on for several years.
