Martin,

I agree that landuse is not the correct way to do this.  What is the
recommended way?

I've seen landuse used to name sub-divisions, housing estates, a
retirement village, a religious community (not church owned, but where
all the houses were originally sold to members of the same religion).
Basically any named area smaller than a suburb.

Admin_level doesn't seem to work because they are not actually an
administration of any sort, once they're sold to the public. Well, the
retirement village is, but that's an exception.
