neighborhood amenity

Community area feature

A neighborhood amenity is a feature or facility that adds convenience, appeal, or quality of life to a residential area.

Parks, grocery stores, good schools, public transit, and walkable sidewalks are typical neighborhood amenities.

Real estate listings emphasize them: The condo is close to neighborhood amenities like coffee shops and gyms.

The term appears frequently in urban planning and housing discussions.
