Ancestry have added a lot of city directories. To find them, open the card catalog -> Schools, Directories & Church Histories -> City & Area Directories -> U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 (Beta) .
Ancestry also allows you to search by an address. The search is not well documented by Ancestry. Below is an example on how to do it.
Example:
Who lived at the 614 Palisade Ave, Jersey City, New Jersey between 1900-1910.
1) Do not set any name!
2) Set Lived In to "Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey, USA"
3) Set Keyword to "614 Palisade Ave"
4) Set Residence Year to 1905+-5 and set exact only
Click search and you get all people who lived at that address.
