What about using county or state-wide parcel data for address points? Centroid of each real property lot. There's many problems with doing this for a whole state; NJ has many cases of one house sitting on multiple lots (old subdivisions of 25'x60', later built as 75'x60' or so without consolidation of the lots) but for newer subdivisions this would work fine. NJ data is public domain, don't know about other states and counties.
Where I map, the address point data is indeed public domain (when it's available), but it takes ages for the public sites to be updated and nobody's terribly interested in fixing that given the budget situation they're dealing with. I did an import of address point data for four counties in Arkansas, but I couldn't really get consensus that it was what the community wanted so I didn't continue beyond that.
