Aha! We call them cooperatives (for short, a coop, but sometimes with the apostrophe, as in co-op). Current residents get to vote on admitting any new resident.
I guess the "feature" aspect comes from the European way of looking at public transportation and providing it as convenient, reliable, and taking you just about anywhere you want to go, as popposed to the American plan for moving the lowest of the drone classes from their hovels to the salt mines and back again without exposing them to the aristocracy.
stay safe.
