[Stranger Things] Where do all the people who work at Hawkins National Laboratory live?

Something I’ve wondered is that Hawkins seems to be a really close knit small town where everyone knows everybody. So where do all the scientists and stuff that work at the lab even live? The lab is a complete mystery to the people in town. It’s got a shit ton of workers there and it shows that some commute there in cars. Do they live far away and drive there every day? How does nobody know who Dr. Brenner is? Are there apartments inside the lab or something?

Some live in town and are just considered members of the community. Others live on campus in dormitories we don't see but would be required for a heavily classified facility like that. And just because it's a small town doesn't mean everyone knows everyone else. Those with kids know each other closely but those who are working blue collar folks may not. And it's possible there's smaller communities near Hawkins but far enough away to not be Hawkins.
