I agree this is a problem as Joani explained. 

I have described it to people as graduate student housing. On some campuses it 
is called “married student housing.” Apartments or small homes or trailer parks 
where people have private homes but also active social relationships as a group 
with potlucks, outdoor gatherings, sharing stuff, babysitting, etc.

Also as a family compound like the Kennedy’s at Hyannisport. Or the family 
“camps” in the Adirondacks that have cabins around a main house.
