neighborhood pride
Area residents' attachment
Neighborhood pride is a sense of satisfaction in and attachment to one's local community.
It often manifests as civic engagement, property upkeep, and defense of the area's reputation: The mural project grew out of neighborhood pride.
The phrase can carry positive connotations of community investment or, in some contexts, hint at territorial defensiveness.
