A neighbourhood or '''neighborhood''' (see Spelling Differences ) is a geographically localised Community located within a larger City or Suburb . The residents of a given neighbourhood are called '''''neighbours''''' (or '''''neighbors'''''), although this term may also be used across much larger distances in Rural areas. Traditionally, a neighbourhood is small enough that the neighbours are all able to know each other. However in practice, neighbours may not know one another very well at all. Village s aren't divided into neighbourhoods, because they are already small enough that the villagers can all know each other. In Canada and the United States , neighbourhoods are often given official or semi-official status through ''neighbourhood associations'', or ''block watches''. These may regulate such matters as Lawn care and Fence height, and they may provide such services as Block Parties , neighbourhood Park s, and community Security . In some other places the equivalent organisation is the Parish , though a parish may have several neighbourhoods within it depending on the area.
