I see. 
Perhaps it would be better to use suburb instead. As it seems not to be a "town"
We should not channel town-tags to very small administrative suburb-tags 

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsuburb

If that does not fit, there is "place" or "note" or "fixme" available.
That would not confuse others.
