I would maybe tag a residential area with the sign name for a 'neighbourhood' / 'real estate development vanity naming' sign as per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dneighbourhood

I agree that they mark the extent of a 'suburb', 'development', 'neighbourhood' etc.

I view them as informative - same as street naming signs - I would not map the signs them selves into OSM but I would map the feature with the name in OSM. I do not see than as art - their main function is information, making them 'pretty' as art is nice but that is not their main function.

    Asked about these on the Tagging list but didn't get any response
    so thought I'd try here.

    Discussions re Public Art, made me wonder what to call these
    location (?) signs.

    These two aren't suburbs, only real-estate developments / perhaps
    "neighbourhoods?

    This one though is for a suburb, & was built to show all the
    services that were available in Burleigh Heads at that time & has
    been in place for something like 50 years! (& some of those
    services aren't actually available any more!)

    So, is there a tag for this type of "signage"?
