Isn't it 'grey eminence' or 'eminence grise'?

It could. I was thinking of New Jersey trilogy and > this word came to my mind immediately.
What's funny, when I was young and beautiful, I actually worked at the Woodbridge and Menlo Mall

Rafal Wolk:You're probably right, Rafal, although "thug" rings a different bell to me. "Scally lad" is the closest to "dresiarz", methinks, at least to refer to those in the UK.
Rafał Janta:
That's more like 'dresiarz' to me, but they do
hang out in malls.
Nah "dresiarze" would be more like "track suiters" hahaha... also the word "thugs" is pretty close to what you are trying to portray.

'Scally' only really refers to people from Liverpool.

I've come across "kamienica" translated as "townhouse" a few times. What do you think?

On a similar note.
I live in a pretty new, closed complex with security guards and underground parking spaces. Do I live in a "housing estate"?

It's not what a British person would call a 'housing estate'.
I'm sure there must be a term for it.
What's it called in Polish?

It's called "osiedle". The same word that is applied to a group of blocks of flats built in the 70s. I don't know how about other cities but here in Poznan the word may also be used as part of your address eg. Osiedle Wichrowe Wzgorza 28.

Lidia K.:
Poles are crazy about their security, so many of such projects are fenced and have guards and CCTV. It's like ghettos. It may be in the city centre or in the suburbs. I live in one, too.
It's called "osiedle strzezone" in contrast to those with free access, such as the ones from the 70-ties.
