Some bored googling of "cantilever bridge" and "amusement park" has given me the answer, you are all way off.

doubt it's in the midwest, since there's appears to be a hill off to the right.

Not much to offer so far, first pic has sleepy/date. Those last two answers are influencing me to go in that direction too but not with any conviction
In the left, that looks like a seafaring boat? The building on the little hill behind it feels like it might offer something too

Yeah I think Ive only seen that type in Leeds, but I'm not anywhere near as familiar with the housing stock of other big northern towns. (I remember someone who worked in housing there in the early 90s telling me that the vast tracts of these back to backs in north-east Leeds were the highest density housing in Europe; even most of those had little front yards.)
