This neighborhood is about as urban as the "south" and "west" choices presented by the OP.

Also, this neighborhood has always been in the city, it was never a streetcar suburb.

I'll give you the "about as urban as the OP..."

but the pictures I posted are of a "streetcar suburb" and they are 3X as urban.

1st. Pic is Harlem NYC
2nd Pic is Atlanta off of BLVD
3rd Pic is LA Near Downtown LA

Harlem is the only picture in the trio that represents urbanity. That particular picture of Atlanta is simply pitiful, and the one of LA is just a suburb.

I agree. In my hometown of Charlotte we have some more urban neighborhoods,, and I know ATL has us beat hands down. But I guess by urban the OP may have meant neighborhoods that are close to the CBD or very connected to the core city limits. In this case, I think the pic of ATL is a good representation of the South.

How about Glenwood Park in ATL:

When I Chose the Pics for the South and West I chose neighborhoods as close to the Central Core as possible and I also tried to pick the most urban that represents what most people would call inner-city for those cities.

ANd what I picked from LA is by no way a Suburb. If 3 miles away from Central LA is the Suburb than I am totally Shocked.

And I Know that every major city has New York style Urbanity, but I was trying to go for Average in each of the area, what the people in that city would call Urban.

And Akhenaton06 those pics of Glenwood Park in Atl are of New Development, less than 20 years old, and that is a complex not a real traditional neighborhood in Atl.
