urban neighborhood
Metropolitan residential area
An urban neighborhood is a distinct section of a city, typically defined by geographic boundaries, architectural character, or the identity of its residents.
Neighborhoods may center on commercial strips, ethnic communities, or shared history: the old Italian neighborhood, an up-and-coming urban neighborhood.
The term often implies walkability and density that suburban areas lack.
