Yup, this is why sub-tagging is such a good idea, so even if you don't
tag the most specific key, you might be able to render a less specific
one without needing any changes to the rendering config, although
h-store might make this redundant since you could just use the main
key, and not need a value as well.

I wouldn't necessarily use residential, yes residents (adults and
kids) may live there on temporary to permanent basis, but some/all of
the adults would be working there, similar to a hospital wouldn't be a
residential area either. So far the best I can think of is
landuse=institution.
