neighborhood kids
Block's young residents
Neighborhood kids are the children who live in a particular area, especially those who play together outdoors or roam the streets as an informal group.
The phrase evokes a nostalgic image of unsupervised play—bikes on lawns, pickup games, knocking on doors to see who can come out: The neighborhood kids built a treehouse in the vacant lot.
It suggests belonging to a place and time before organized activities replaced spontaneous childhood community.
