Not true. In the US, three phase transformers are found only at "substations" on concrete, surrounded by wire fences. A maximum of three or four houses are served by one *single phase* transformer "on the pole" or, in newer housing developments, by a single phase transformer mounted inside a steel enclosure sitting on the ground and connected by underground single-phase cables. Gene.
