I remember seeing a picture of a suburban style Burger King in Miami a few years ago, it had been completely walled off by skyscrapers on all sides. It struck me as being such a bizarre sight, but one that is becoming more common as sunbelt cities rapidly urbanize. It's not uncommon to see homes with yards a few feet from 30 story condos these days.

Probably NYC vs many of its suburbs. There is somewhat of a gradual transition, but past a certain point you get hit with a city vibe quickly (like driving down Jamaica Ave in Queens).
Get a few blocks north: houses on smaller lots and some apartments nearby, cafes and a grocery store in walking distance, grid plan with alleys, 2 lanes.
I stand by my assertion that one thing Reno will always have over Vegas is its neighborhoods.
