Then the prison and the palace were in awful neighborhood. --Ld. Lytton. 2. A place near; vicinity; adjoining district; a region the inhabitants of which may be counted as neighbors; as, he lives in my neighborhood. 3. The inhabitants who live in the vicinity of each other; as, the fire alarmed all the neiborhood. 4. The disposition becoming a neighbor; neighborly kindness or good will. [Obs.] --Jer. Taylor. Syn: Vicinity; vicinaty; proximity. Usage: {Neighborhood}, {Vicinity}. Neigborhood is Anglo-Saxon, and vicinity is Latin. Vicinity does not commonly denote so close a connection as neighborhood.
