So the street view I posted shows mostly 3 story single family buildings?
And isn't the neighborhood I posted considered Cecil B Moore? Then again it seems like Kensington is broadly used, an area that I thought was considered Fairhill I heard referred to as Kensington by a local.
yes, I would say all those houses in the street view are probably single family homes, but again, you can't really tell. and you are right, it is a little to far west to be Kensington which is to the east. Farther west on the other side of the train tracks is the beginning of Templetown. It is basically just North Philly. Idk, you will find it called a bunch of different names.

Boston has some areas like the Fenway/Kenmore Neighborhood and some of the areas near Northeastern that are filled with 1920s apartment buildings. There are quite a few streets like this: Queensberry St, Fenway
Boston actually is more of a small apartment city than anything else and is not dominated by triple deckers in the same way Philly is covered by row houses. This is becoming even more apparent as most new development even in traditional triple decker neighborhoods is in 4+ story apartment and condo buildings.
Are Philly's neighborhood boundaries even more loosely defined than those of New York?
and thanks for the map
I wouldn't say they are loosely defined exactly. Up until 1854, the city of Philadelphia was only Center City. There were numerous other boroughs and townships with their own town centers and main streets that kind of set the boundaries for the neighborhoods.
Miami's midrise and highrise housing goes well beyond its tiny city limits. This sort of housing can be found all over the metro, including many developments in the western burbs. What is typically seen is the development along the water in both the mainland and the barrier island communities but don't be fooled; land is scarce in greater Miami for new housing and the only way to go now for most of it is vertical.
