[OSM-newbies] How to tag one of a named group of houses

These aren't isolated issues, this type of situation can be found
around the world.

I have a similar issue with rural subdivisions in my area.

A house in this neighborhood would have a mailing address like this:

#109 Lincoln Greene, 51509 Range Road 224, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada

To add to this, the horseshoe shaped road is named Kingshott Road, and
the area it is located within is the Specialized Municipality of
Strathcona County, where Sherwood Park is an urban service node within
the "county", but this subdivision is not within that urban service
node.

So, the address consists of the house number in the subdivision, the
subdivision name, the street address associated with one entrance to
the subdivision, the local postal office area name, province, and
country. The road name and municipality are not part of the address...

Current tagging has the name of the road as 51509 Range Road 224, with
no mention of the name of the road (Kingshott Drive), nor the
subdivision name (Lincoln Greene)

What do you do with that?
