I admit that when I visited several times I didn't know this "was" a driveway until I saw a car drive by one day looking out his window. It is aesthetically pleasing as when you're there you don't think of it as a driveway. It's also a bit jarring when you do see a car driving in it. Many of the places I've seen like this are up a bit of a hill to the entrance off the street and the driveway part to the street has concrete steps in the middle for people to climb up to the apartment area.
Thanks for answering my question Martin. -much appreciated.
I checked the vintage aerial that Flyingwedge posted and didn't see any parking areas or garages. I'll go back and take another look.
