Where do you live?

0Hi,02br
02br
00Let us say that I live in an apartment complex that is consisted of 3 apartment buildings, and they are respectively called '100-tong', '101-tong' and '103-tong'. This three-apartment complex is knowned as 'Gaechun Apartment' and people call the three apartment complex as that normally. The complex is managed by the same management company. Each apartment building has about 100 units and I happen to live in apartment number 700 in 103-tong. 02br
02br
00Can you answer this question?02br

00What should be the apartment complex's name? People around town call the complex as "Gaechun Apartment," (without the "s") not "Gaechun Apartments."0-

0Local custom should be followed, but in English the whole structure is an 01u00apartment building02u00 composed of many individual 01u00apartments02u00. Such structures are usually called apartments: 01i00Charleston Garden Apartments, 00Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments, 00Franklin Central Apartments, Les Troupe

00I used to walk around and saw some apartment buildings with big signs with what seem to be their names like "Renaissance." In that case, can I say that I live in Renaissance in Nowhere Road? Can I also say that I live in the Renaissance apartments (arbitrarily put the word 'apartments' in small letters) in Nowhere Road?02br

0Saying '01i00I live in Renaissance02i00' would leave you open to buffoonery (01i00Oh! Have you met Michelangelo?02i00) unless your interlocutor was already familiar with the apartment building. I would say 01i00I live in (the) Renaissance A/apartments02i00 myself. The capitalization is unimportant, I think. 01i00
