I am now up to two pages of edits :) I added like 4 parks and a bunch of building and some schools. Man this is really fun.
PS
Does anyone know how to designate a building as a home or apartment?

Most people just use building=yes. I use building=residential and this makes it a slightly different shade on the main map. If you know the address details you can use addr:housenumber=1, addr:housename, addr:street, addr:postcode (full details at osm.wiki/Addr though city/country etc. can usually be worked out from the location).
Note that using unusual tags you will need to press 'Advanced' in the bottom left of the Potlatch 2 editor, once you have selected the item on the map.

I'd probably use a
landuse=residential around the lots
Apartment
name=
building=yes
building:levels= (number of floors) for the apartment

The advanced tagging schema for buildings is the building="building typology" tag.
So in your case, the outline of the building should be tagged
building=apartments
The tag building=residential is not so good because it doesn't describe how the building looks like. Is it a house? An apartment? A hut? For the most used tags, see the wiki: osm.wiki/Key:building
About the other tags (addr:xxx, building:levels, landuse ...), I agree with LivingWithDragons and Sundance.
But as always in OSM, every mapper does what he wants.

Thanks for the wiki link Sanerd17. I was hoping there was a way to make those distinctions but i couldnt find out how.

Wow! I didn't know you could designate a building specifically for its use. I'm going to tag some houses I added as building=house instead of just building=yes.
