I ensure the residential area doesn't cross any roads. ie. just the block. eg. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.062412&lon=151.1523&zoom=18&layers=M I do this because it is more accurate. The road isn't residential and so shouldn't be covered by the area. It is a lot simpler that way, because it is very easy to exclude the corner shop, which is landuse=retail, or the park on the corner. Tracing the building, or even just a center point node, you can add the type of building as apartment, house, cabin etc.
