Where I live is a weird hybrid above/below set up. It is a very old/new rural/suburban neighborhood near a lake. Some houses look to be ~1930's others are 60's still more look to be built in the last 10-30 years. One block down hill close to the lake it is all overhead. Up by me the HV poles end about 2 doors down hill, go to a ground mounted transformer box across the street (the CATV continues on poles up hill), under the street, up a pole in my front yard, and to the back yard pole where it splits to 2 30's homes (overhead), and our late 70's home underground.
