neighborhoods
UK spellingneighbourhoods
- 1Plural of neighborhood.
The city invested in parks across several low-income neighborhoods.
Older neighborhoods often have larger trees and narrower streets.
Note
A plural that follows only the countable meanings of the singular. Residential areas, their inhabitants and municipal divisions all pluralize naturally: several neighborhoods, the neighborhoods turned out to vote. The approximate-amount use, as in 'in the neighborhood of fifty dollars,' and the abstract sense of nearness stay singular, so 'in the neighborhoods of fifty' is a slip. The spelling is the American one.
