This is an awesomr thread.....someone already took mine but my alltime favorite neighborhood of alltime....lol is also Forest Hills Queens...I had the greatest experience living there for 5 years....it is truly a great place to live play and work....some of the best school in NYC are here.....Austin St isn't too bad either...
Austin St is great for eating shopping and playing
Nice, for sure. Problem is if you don't have $2,000,000 or more to drop down on a place, you get nothing. Baltimore is the hidden jewel of the Northeast, no doubt. New Yorkers would love Baltimore if they got to know it. Oh, and leave that NYC attitude behind.
I like eastern city neighborhoods. Southie, Boston. Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Manayunk, Philly. Hampden, Baltimore. Lanier Heights, D.C. The Fan, Richmond. Also like neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinatti, St. Louis, Denver, and San Fransisco. Basically any city with lots of nice row houses, town houses, brownstones, etc.

I got a whole list of favorites
Boston - North End for dining out, Cambridge for nightlife, and for a bit of grit with character and an array of choices for authentic ethnic dining East Boston.
Philadelphia - Society Hill is beautiful, charming, and cozy. The gayborhood in Philly is pretty fun, cool murals.
Manhattan - Upper East Side and Chinatown
Providence - Federal Hill has the most authentic old world feel of any Little Italy I've seen.
Atlanta - Midtown; what's not to love about this neighborhood with its own contemporary skyline a few blocks away from leafy streets with craftsman bungalows. Good nightlife around there too.
St. Louis - The Hill, I'm a sucker for Little Italy neighborhoods. Also Soulard, early 19h century historic charm with somewhat of a New Orleans feel.
Denver - Washington Park (Wash Park), beautiful park with nice gardens and mountain silhouettes on the horizon surrounded by very attractive and cute craftsman bungalows. One of the best selling points about Denver's neighborhoods are its very attractive city parks. The Commons/Confluence Parks are outstanding. It will be interesting to see what Highlands looks like in 5-10 years.
Los Angeles - So far Santa Monica, I love being near the ocean so it's the most attractive place for me. West Hollywood can be fun but only for a visit. I'm planning a trip to LA before the end of the year so I'm going to focus on exploring more neighborhoods there next time.
San Francisco - The Marina District, beautiful bay and bridge views. Chinatown is interesting, with a few million I'd head straight towards Russian Hill.
Seattle - West Seattle, the most beautiful neighborhood in Seattle with the best waterfront access, Alki Beach, and stellar skyline and mountain views, it's the whole panorama at Alki Point. I lived in Capital Hill in my 20's, good place to sew your wild oats and have a fun urban life. I left in 2005 and I've heard the neighborhood is going through a big turnover with rising rents, bars opening and closing, and new 4-6 story apartment cubes.
D.C.---Adams-Morgan/Dupont Circle/Capitol Hill/Logan Circle/Georgetown
Northern Virginia----Del Ray/Old Town Alexandria/Shirlington
St.Louis---Lafayette Square/Tower Grove Park/Soulard/Forest Park-West End
Chicago----Gold Coast/Old Town/Boy's Town/Evanston
NYC----East Village/Upper West Side/Gramercy Park/Chelsea/SoHo
San Francisco----Sunset/Marina District/Russian Hill/The Haight/Castro
Bay Area---Sausalito/Tiburon
Omaha---Dundee/Old Market/Benson/Little Mexico (Southeast Omaha)
Baltimore----Federal Hill/Mt. Vernon Square/Bolton Hill
LA----Westwood
Charleston S.C.--whatever the historic district is called, it's breathtaking.
