NYC Neighborhoods
NYC Neighborhoods is an interactive map for finding and exploring New York City neighborhoods and their boundaries.
What NYC Neighborhoods is
NYC Neighborhoods is an interactive map for finding and exploring New York City neighborhoods and their boundaries. It covers more than 380 neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods across all five boroughs. Search by neighborhood name or enter an address to locate the neighborhood it falls in. If location access is enabled, the app can show which neighborhood you are in as you move around the city. The map can be tilted into a 3D perspective, and neighborhood pages link to Wikipedia for more history and information. Users can flag boundary issues, and the site says it updates boundaries based on community feedback. New York City has no official neighborhood boundaries, so the map is one interpretation rather than a definitive boundary reference. The app is available on the web, Android, and iOS. It is free, with no ads and no account required. Google Play says it may share location and may collect location and app activity; it also says data is encrypted in transit and cannot be deleted. Support is listed at [email protected].
