What are the names & types of some of the neighborhoods in your city?

Chicago has tons but here are a few that stand out:

Boystown - Gay
Bronzeville - Black
Englewood - Poor black
Gold Coast - Rich
Lakeview - Young professional/yuppie
Pilsen - Mexican

Dallas' hoods are so originally named. I live in Midtown.

Oak Lawn - teh gay district
Oak Cliff - teh ghetto
Deep Ellum - teh artsy fartsy district
Midtown - 20-somethings with college degrees and some money
Uptown - young professionals/yuppies
West Village - young professionals/yuppies w/ more $$ than Uptowners

I have no clue. Greenville is full of fucking yuppies. Past the downtown area a little bit is the ghetto and MAN, is it ever ghetto. This place sucks horse cock.

Hillcrest: Gay homosexuals
Pacific Beach: bars, surfers, beaches
Mission Beach: see Pacific Beach, but less bars
Mira Mesa: Asians
Clairemont: near-beach community
Point Loma: cute in some parts, but rampant with homeless people in others.
North Park: Ghetto.
South Park: Nice houses.
Mission Hills: Expensive area overlooking parts of the city
Old Town: Historical district, very old mexican style
Sports Arena: Commercial
Downtown: Big buildings.
Mission Valley: Malls, commercial developments, stores, football stadium
Scripps Ranch: burned suburbs
Kearney Mesa: Commercial district inland.
Ocean Beach: Pain in the ass to get to, but nice little houses and full of stoners
City Heights: Crackton
Normal Heights: Decent neighborhood, old stores, too close to Crackton
Kensington: Used to be one of the rich places, but now, isn't. Still nice neighborhood.
Rancho Bernardo: Suburbs
Rancho Penisquitas: Suburbs
University Heights: Between the slums and Fagtown
Imperial Beach: Gangland mixed with millitary people since it's close to bases
Miramar: Highly commercial, filled with marines
Coronado: Beautiful Island community.
UTC: University Town Center. Close to La Jolla and UCSD. Expensive and commercial.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more.. that's just off the top of my head. None of those areas are incorporated into their own towns.. they're all within San Diego limits.

Plateau Mont Royal / Mile End - Hippies, artsy type, and yuppies
Hochelaga-Maisonneuve - Super ghetto
St-Leonard - Italian
Park Extension - Greek immigrants, also Pakis
Little Burgundy - Black ghetto
Outremont - Hasidic Jews, Rufus Wainright
Notre-Dame-de-Grace / Cote-des-Neiges - new immigrants, french students, out of town students
Pointe-St-Charles - Ghetto
Verdun - No man's land
Kirkland - SUV central
Pointe-Claire / B'aie D'Urfe, St-Anne-De-Belle-Vue - rich suburban white folks

That's a few of them...

I'd have to say Little Village takes the crown for being the Mexican neighborhood... while Pilsen still has Mexicans residing within the community and a strong list of Mexican buisnesses, it's quickly growing into a very yuppie oriented area of the city.

I'll add:

Humboldt Park- Puerto Rican


....to that list.

Oh and you can't forget Wicker Park. There's even a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324554/) entitled after the area being released in the next year. I'd group that as one of the yuppie/art neighborhoods of the city.

My neighborhood is becoming the polish\mexican capitol of Chicago.

Bucktown- yuppie
Ukrainian Village
Little Italy
Chinatown

my town is called kingston...the original one...its a nice busy place, kinda like a compact london.

the waterfront: rich yuppies
the opposite waterfront: rich and reclusive
surbiton: clean upmarket suburb mostly
norbiton: depressing drab business area
the cambridge estate: absolute ghetto. this shithole really needs batman. one of the most reputable gig venues around is right in the middle of it though:erm

I'll consolidate them and add some to the Chicago list:

The Loop - Downtown
Bronzeville - Black middle class (and some poor of course)
South Shore - Black middle class (and some poor of course)
Englewood - Poor black
Gold Coast - Rich
Lakeview - Young professional/yuppie (contains Boystown)
Boystown - Gay
Pilsen - Mexicans, the poor yet college educated arty crowd & yuppies
Bucktown- yuppie
Ukrainian Village - hipsters and uh, who else lives here? Ukranians?
Little Italy
Chinatown
Koreatown (K-Town)
Lincoln Park - Richer yuppies
Wicker Park - young dirty yuppie hipsters, music & art
Little Village - Mexican
Humboldt Park- Puerto Rican
