CULTIVATING DIVERSE + SUSTAINABLE URBAN LIFE
A neighborhood is an area where people live and interact with one another. Neighborhoods tend to have their own identity, or “feel” based on the people who live there and the places nearby. Residents may have similar types of families, incomes, and education level. Neighborhoods can include restaurants, bookstores, and parks.
