Happy Independence Day fellow Americans!!!

I thought this would be a fun game to play! Post Google Map links of two neighborhoods of cities/towns/municipalities in which the next poster picks which neighborhood they prefer (whether that be for architecture, greenery, travel or for living etc whatever your criteria may be). Then they leave another two links for the next member to choose from.


Cape May, NJ
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9311...7i16384!8i8192

or

Martha's Vineyard, MA
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3924...7i16384!8i8192

Both look really nice, but I would choose Candler Park because it is practically in downtown Atlanta, and I also far prefer Atlanta to Houston.

Old Metairie - Metairie, LA - https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9840...7i16384!8i8192

or

East Memphis - Memphis, TN - https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1299...7i16384!8i8192

Old Metairie, for being denser and more interesting. Though I do like the greenness and aesthetics of the East Memphis picture. The driveways to the front door are unfortunate...no alleys apparently. Panning back, Metairie is much more central as well, and the East Memphis location has nothing useful nearby.

Now for a couple of the better streets in two similar "new downtowns."

Bellevue, WA, Main Street: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6101...7i16384!8i8192

Clayton, MO, Central Ave: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6504...7i16384!8i8192

Both are nice but Im going with Bellevue, I used to commute there when I lived in WA and its by far one of my favorite edgetowns in this country.

Malaga Cove area, Los Angeles, CA: https://goo.gl/maps/ezXfnncXzUrVmi5T7

or

Lakeway area - Austin, TX: https://goo.gl/maps/m5TULQsTx6xBcM696

(ok seriously I already know the answer but I just had to see how this would turn out :P)

Yeah, I have to go with the breezes off the Pacific Ocean for real, PVE in LA it is. But if I did live in Texas, the hills west of Austin would be lovely.

Watch Hill, RI - https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3115...7i16384!8i8192

or

Ogunquit, ME - https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2500...7i16384!8i8192

Both would be pretty crappy with no sidewalks. I suppose Lakeway because you can see a lake and there's slightly more tree cover.

Both are lovely. Because I have been to Ogunquit, ME so many times now, I'll take Watch Hill, RI since it would be something different for me.


Next:

Elfreth's Alley, Philadelphia, PA

or

Acorn St, Boston, MA

Very interesting.

Knowing nothing about the history of these two areas, I'd go with Acorn St. Looks a little bit quieter and I like the greenery.

Both are absolutely beautiful neighborhoods with gorgeous homes. I prefer the Baltimore neighborhood slightly since the houses are a bit further apart.




Beautiful neighborhoods:
