I have a number of apartment complexes to map. For those in other 
countries who may not be familiar with them, they are a cluster of 
apartment buildings, with associated parking, some covered, some not, and 
often additional facilites such as a club room and laundry room which may 
or may not be in standalone buildings. All of these under the same name 
and managed by the same corporate entity. Since everything in the complex 
is associated under a single name, such as "Chesapeake Apartments" I would 
like to map the area, and then the buildings and amenities within the area 
which could by declaraition or by default be related to the area.

Is there currently a separate area designation for an apartment complex, 
as there is for school, for example, or would I need to carve this out as 
a separate residential land use "island" within the larger residential 
land use area, in order to name it? I did a search, but maybe didn't use 
the right key.
