Some neighborhoods are branded well and recognized throughout the region. The Hill, would be a perfect example. Almost everyone in the city and the metropolitan region knows the Hill. Soulard is another example of a clear regional identity that is well branded and defined. Maybe we should sell this "city of neighborhoods" thing a little more. Maybe this should be our city slogan. Mound City, Gateway to the West....The City of Neighborhoods. Who knows.
The Boulevard Heights Neighborhood
The neighborhood has some areas that are typical of South City, a la Holly Hills, Princeton Heights, Southampton, etc. Other parts of the neighborhood are more suburban with cul-de-sacs and no sidewalks, etc. Overall, the edge of the city that gives you a distinct feel of the Southside, with a taste of what South County becomes.
