Hi John, As far as I'm aware, there isn't a massively strong consensus about how to tag housing estates in OSM - and as a result, tagging can vary.
I like to mark a housing estate as an area "landuse=residential" with a "name" and maybe an "operator" tag: <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dresidential> I know others use this too, but in London I also see quite a few isolated "name" points or named "place=neighbourhood" points, for example. For discussion about which is the "best" way to tag these things, discussion would be on the tagging mailinglist. Here's an overpass query that searches for (landuse=residential or place=neighbourhood) plus a name: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/aaI Best Dan 2015-06-29 15:45 GMT+01:00 John Levin <j...@anterotesis.com>: > Hi, > > Is it possible to extract a list of all the housing estates in London from > OSM?
