What would you like to see us add to this API?

Add the ability to differentiate between a single-family home and an apartment building. There is currently nothing in the API response that indicates the residence type.

Issue report

What steps will reproduce the problem? Please provide a link to a demonstration page if at all possible, or attach code.

The following is a response from the Places API after using autocomplete. Nothing in that response can be used to determine if the address is an apartment building or a single-family home.

autocomplete.setFields(['address_components', 'geometry', 'types', 'adr_address', 'business_status', 'formatted_address', 'icon', 'name', 'permanently_closed', 'photo', 'place_id', 'plus_code', 'url', 'utc_offset', 'vicinity', 'wheelchair_accessible_entrance']);
