Boston overall is fairly segregated but you do have some Black-White areas. Hyde Park is very diverse, you can have a Black landlord and all white tenants and vice versa. Roslindale also come to mind.
Dorchester is the largest neighborhood of Boston and the majority is Black or White but they tend to not live next to each other. But even then you have Lower Mills, Savin Hill and Fields Corner; all of which are inclusive and diverse.

Besides that though it's mostly extremes.
What about Milton, Cambridge, Malden, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Medford, Lynn, Salem, Framingham, Brockton and Randolph in terms of the metro area?

I wasn't sure if I could include them since the OP was about neighborhoods! Milton is racially (Black & White) diverse but socioeconomically segregated. But White and Black people do live next to each other on the side near Mattapan.
Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and Framingham are also mixed. But not overwhelmingly Black, so it's easy for the neighborhoods to be intergrated. I'd throw Waltham, Canton, Holbrook and Stoughton in there too.
Randolph, Lynn and Malden are like Hyde Park. I'll see if I can find the Census data but these towns have great stats in regards to the "Dissimilarity" index for neighbors (Neighbors do not resemble each other racially/culturally).
Brockton is kind of segregated. Yes the city is majority Black-White. Whites tend to live near the city line (Near Easton, Stoughton, Avon, or Holbrook) or Westside. Blacks and Latinos everywhere else.
Chelsea is very Hispanic and Italian, and Everett is mostly Italian and Latino; with a small West Indian population. So i'm not sure how to put them in context with the OP but i'm sure another EMass contributor will come along.
As for Salem, i'm not even sure; Haven't really been to that city. Nor do I know many folks from there.

In Detroit, Southwest Detroit, the University District, Corktown, East English Village, Warrendale, Delray, Palmer Woods and Sherwood Forest are the best choices in this regard. For suburbs, Southfield, Lathrup Village, Oak Park, Ecorse, River Rouge, Hamtramck, Harper Woods, Mount Clemens, Redford, Farmington/Farmington Hills, Belleville, Romulus and Plymouth would fit, with perhaps select areas of several others.

I definitely agree with Roslindale, Hyde Park, and Dorchester.
I'd add Mission Hill, the South End.
Maybe Allston and the West End too (though those nabes are more white/Asian/Hispanic than black/white.)
Most of the working class neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St Paul proper are mixed black, white, Latino, Asian and Somali. In Minneapolis it would be the North Side, Phillips, Powderhorn, Cedar Riverside, Lyndale, Whittier, and Stevens Square. In St Paul: Midway, Frogtown, the East Side, the West Side and the North End. There are only a handful of census tracts in Twin Cities that are over 60% black. 25% to 50% is more common and most of those tracts also have significant white populations.

Hyde Park, Roslindale, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain in Boston have authentic mixes. Dorchester and Roslindale, the most so. Hyde Park is predominately black and Jamaica Plain predominately white.
