exclusive neighborhoods

Wealthy residential enclaves

Exclusive neighborhoods are residential areas where wealth, social status, or other barriers limit who can live there.

High property values, gated entrances, restrictive covenants, or simply reputation keep these communities homogeneous: They moved to an exclusive neighborhood on the north side.

The exclusivity may be explicit or simply understood—money talks, and so does its absence.
