There's no place like home, even for those of supernatural origin. And for some, their home is quite different from ours. It could be anything from a dark forest, to hidden caves, or maybe even an entirely different plane of existence. The one thing they have in common is their significance of being the place where these fantastic beings were born and raised.
Places like this usually tend to be a Fantasy Kitchen Sink. The location itself is frequently a Deserted Island, Void Between the Worlds, and/or an Eldritch Location. Not to mention there's always the chance that the place itself is another monster. May tie into Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia.
Compare Lost World, Monster Town, Fantastic Nature Reserve and Isle of Giant Horrors.

In Dragon Quest VIII the monsters are basically everywhere. However, there's a particular village named Trian Gully where monsters reside along with elves and humans, making it something of a subversion.

Monstro Town in Super Mario RPG is a town built into a stone cliffside populated entirely by common Mario enemies like Goombas and Koopas. Perhaps an Inverted Trope in that the creatures moved here to be autonomous from Bowser.

The Shin Megami Tensei has three areas that all act as the source of all the supernatural entities in the series, and at the same time, are directly linked with eachother explaning why all demons look the same despite having different sources. The Expanse,note Known as Makai in some translations The Sea of Soulsnote Also known as the Collective Unconsious and The Great Will.note Separate from YHVH, it is the central creative force in the whole multiverse

The Nevernever in The Dresden Files is supposed to be this.
Debatable. Home to the Faeries and some of the weaker demonic types, yes (the really nasty demonic types are "outsiders," and live... entirely elsewhere), but that seems to be about it. However, pretty much any supernatural creature (vampires, ghosts, and wizards of sufficient strength) can enter the Nevernever.

In Season 6, this is exactly what Purgatory is described to be. Specifically it's their afterlife and it was constructed by God to isolate his first sentient creations, the Leviathans.
In Season 13 (!), Sam and Dean get trapped in an Alternate Universe known as "The Bad Place", which is populated entirely by monsters. Not just the regular kind they're used to, Kaiju are included.

In the Langrisser series the majority of demons dwell in the land of Velzeria. It's also the only known locale in the setting in which demons and humans live side by side. How good or evil they are varies between games and individual routes. In the dark route endings of the first game's remake The Hero ascends the Velzerian throne and falls firmly on the good side. Leading to other nations finally considering the possibility of peace with demonkind. Sadly for the world this is very much not canon.

The dimension on the other side of the Rift in Pacific Rim that serves as the birthplace of the Kaiju. Interestingly enough, it's less of a nature preserve and more of a bio-factory where the Kaiju are knit together by their creators.

Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI had the Feymarch and the Land of the Espers respectively, where the Eidolons(IV) and Espers(VI) lived.
In Final Fantasy VIII, the Moon is the source of monsters. They live on it and sometimes are transported to Earth by a magical event called the Lunar Cry.
In Final Fantasy XIII, this is what the vast majority of Cocoon's human population believes that Gran Pulse is, though none of them have ever actually been there to know firsthand. When your party eventually gets sent there, you find out that it actually is, but not to the greatly exaggerated extent that the Cocoon government has misled everybody into believing, where the average Cocoon citizen is deathly afraid of anything that is even remotely connected to Gran Pulse.
