G'day Peter & welcome!

Certainly the way I do it, & it seems to work!

eg https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/422427220#map=19/-28.08664/153.42501

Although OSM doesn't render the number, Osmand, at least, will find the
address!

Thanks

Graeme

Hi Peter,
The tag addr:housenumber does not render on non-building areas, but it is
still useful to include on the complex lot bounds to assist geocoding. You
can read more about this at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1746
Note that adding a node tagged with addr:housenumber at the centre of the
complex will render on osm.org.
If there are multiple dwellings on the complex with the same housenumber,
you could add the addr:housenumber to every dwelling in the lot and
consider adding addr:unit or addr:flats to each as necessary.
Cheers

[talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?

[Peter Hardy]

Hey folks.
I'm just getting started contributing to OpenStreetMap, adding address 
information for my local area. I've just started working in an area with heavy 
residential subdivision; blocks being split with several freestanding 
dwellings. There's a fairly pathological example at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-33.28505/149.08483 , but there's a lot 
of smaller subdivisions around it.

The wiki at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Multiple_buildings_for_one_housenumber
 suggests adding a perimeter and addr tags to it. And a little further digging 
around I found 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dresidential#Apartment_Complexes
 , which suggests `landuse=residential` is appropriate for this sort of use. So 
I created an area around the property boundary based on the NSW DCS Base Map, 
added `landuse=residential`, then appropriate `addr:housenumber` and 
`addr:street` tags.

JOSM renders this how I'd expect, with an outline around the area and the 
housenumber displayed in the middle of the area. But the map tiles I see on 
opnstreeetmap.org only show the outline of the area, and do not display a 
housenumber.

Is this the right approach for doing this? Am I just missing something stupid 
to get this to work, or should I drop this plan and just stick to numbering the 
building closest to the street?

Thanks for any advice,
--
