Does the power company wire all homes in the neighborhood in series?

No, that would be quite silly of them. If any part of a series circuit is broken at all, the whole system fails. Houses are hooked into the lines in parallel - if a house then blows out its fuses or circuitbeakers, it will not affect the rest of the neighbourhood (apart from slightly raising the average current amongst them).

How do energy get to homes?
Energy gets from the power plant to customers via the power grid (high voltage power lines).Transmission lines that generally operate at high voltages are responsible for long distance delivery of electricity. Substations step the voltage down to deliver it locally, and Transformers further step down the voltage to deliver it to the customer.Note: There are no energy transformations invloved in this process. The power plant (whatever kind it might be) produces electricity (electromagnetic energy), and this is delivered to a user via the power grid. For energy transformation in power plants, refer to those specific questions.
