Thought this could be a cool way for others to learn about the look and feel of different cities across the country in a fairly quick manner.

In this thread, post 3 different street views from Google Maps of a city that you either currently live in, have lived in previously, or are VERY familiar with. The 3 different street views should include:
  • A "nice" neighborhood in your city (doesn't have to be the wealthiest)
  • A "run-of-the-mill/average" neighborhood in your city (home values, family income, crime, etc)
  • A "rough" neighborhood in your city (one that nearly all residents would agree is less than desirable)

Street views should ideally depict residential neighborhoods.

Here's an example from my hometown: Cincinnati, OH.

Nice neighborhood - Mt. Lookout
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1348...7i13312!8i6656

Average neighborhood - Carthage
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1938...7i13312!8i6656

Rough Neighborhood - Avondale
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1447...7i16384!8i8192

Have at it!

Seattle

Nice neighborhood - Blue Ridge

Average neighborhood - Ballard

Rough neighborhood - Delridge

Seattle in general is a pretty rich city, so all the categories will probably look better than in most cities.

Cincinatti and Seattle sure have some nice looking "rough" areas. I want to see some Baltimore!

I LOVE the “average†looking neighborhoods of Nashville that you chose.

Here is what I would say for Cleveland:

Nice: Kamm's Corners (this is the cops/firefighter neighborhood)

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4623...7i16384!8i8192

Average: Bellaire-Puritas (this is my childhood street. Aesthetically, I wouldn't say looks like most of Cleveland but down to race/socioecomics/crime, it is what Cleveland would look like if you average it all out)

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4411...7i16384!8i8192

Rough: Actually, not sure if this is technically Union-Miles Park, Mount Pleasant or Corlett, but the highest crime parts of Cleveland are in the fourth district (SE side, even though, again speaking aesthetically, not the most run-down part of the city). This is between Lenacrave and Angelus, the epitcenter of a neighborhood that has been marred in gang warfare, and probably has the highest murder rate in the city.
