I was within a few blocks of that Portland streetview this past weekend!

That area of Boise is pretty, I don't remember the city being that lush outside the North End. But I like the Portland neighborhood's sidewalks and being close to the overlook onto the Willamette River (even if most of what you see is heavy industry, it's still a view). Arbor Lodge isn't a bad place to be, you're between the commercial corridor on Interstate Ave and the gorgeous Cathedral Park which I always show people when I'm taking them to Portland.

I'll take Pelham, looks more like a place that bothers to keep up its urbanity and actually wants pedestrians. I also tend to like brick buildings when it isn't uniform brick in a uniform color, since it adds a feeling of permanence.

Reno looks very colorful and radiant, but I'll give it to Beaumont. Those established streets are hard to match.

Two very different comparisons, but identical populations..

Bremerton, WA

Holyoke, MA

I'll go with Davidson due to the sidewalks...

Let's go international:

Downtown Eastside - Vancouver, BC, Canada

or

Empleados Federales - Tijuana, BC, Mexico?

Vancouver. That area in Tijuana doesn't look bad, but I like that part of Vancouver better. BTW someone above posted a Beaumont vs. Reno neighborhood comparison that I was going to reply to(but forgot to before someone else replied), and I also thought the same way. Liked how colorful the houses were in Reno, but preferred the feel(the houses, red brick sidewalk, and that the streets weren't as wide) in Beaumont better.

A north of the border comparison, here.

I'll go with Lethbridge, as the neighborhood is neater...

Comparing both these 2 areas, I like the one in Hattiesburg better. This nearby block in Parkhaven especially caught my attention, in Hattiesburg: https://goo.gl/maps/GpnR71WUxCVCBguS8


Now for towns a little smaller:
