Does Greenwich Village begin at W Houston or Bleecker? Is the corner of Mott and Hester Little Italy or Chinatown?
Now is the time to put those those common Q’s to rest. Even though New Yorkers all have a different stance on where certain neighborhoods start and stop, there’s a map that has defined those boundaries once and for all. No need for the debate, folks! (Though who are we kiddin’ — New Yorkers will still have ’em.)
See the map that defines NYC neighborhoods
If you’ve ever been curious about neighborhood specifics, a handy dandy map has decided to break it all down, settling any cross-street debate you’ve gotten into with friends and family! It was created by Reddit users on Google maps, and features 282 of NYC’s neighborhoods throughout all five boroughs.
The map depicts borders for neighborhoods all the way from Red Hook to SoHo and Astoria.
So next time you’re asking yourself “What neighborhood am I in” you can just refer to the ‘ol reliable map. If you really want to up the ante, have a look at the hottest neighborhoods of 2025 and see if they’re really where you think they are! (Might be handy when working with realtors, no?)
So what do you think of the map? Do you agree with its findings, or do you think it needs a few edits? Have a look for yourself.
