vocabulary - Name of place where there are many buildings?



In some countries, in a closed area, more than one building (mostly apartment buildings) is constructed, and that place is given a name. Then buildings are named like A, B, C.



How would I call that area? I would say "building area", though am not sure about that.


Answer



If the apartments are dwellings, I would call the whole area "a condo" or "condominium" (some definitions include non-residential use, though.)






  • condo - "short for condominium"


  • condominium - "a building or complex of buildings containing a number of individually owned apartments or houses." Google



    "a building or complex in which units of property, such as apartments, are owned by individuals and common parts of the property, such as the grounds and building structure, are owned jointly by the unit owners." TFD
