can some one tell me, what is the best way to map houses in residential
area. I was thinking of this on a much smaller scale (four or five
terraced homes) but here is a good example of even longer properties.

West of the Westbury Ave., each house is a separate object; east from
there someone mapped the long buildings as single long rectangles and
only added points for house numbers.
Which one should we consider the most appropriate way to map longer
building comprised of few properties?
There is a basic principle that every change should improve the map. As
such, an outline for the terrace, with points for the houses, is better
than just points, or just the building, but is not as good as mapping
the footprint of every house. Any of these is better than mapping
nothing at all. A simple address interpolation is also better than
nothing at all.
It comes down to how much effort you want to expend, and how accurately
you can actually determine the geometry.
