A neighbourhood or '''neighborhood''' (see Spelling Differences ) is a geographically localised Community located within a larger City , Town or Suburb . NORTH AMERICA In Canada and the United States , neighbourhoods are often given official or semi-official status through '' Neighbourhood Association s'', '' Neighbourhood Watch es'', or ''block watches''. These may regulate such matters as Lawn care and Fence height, and they may provide such services as Block Parties , neighbourhood Parks , 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. In localities where neighbourhoods do not have an official status, questions can arise as to where one neighbourhood begins and another ends. Many cities may use ''districts'' and ''wards'' as official divisions of the city, rather than traditional neighbourhood boundaries.
