All community areas are neighborhoods but not all neighborhoods are community areas. The difference is that community areas are a set and static set of 77 divisions. Over the years different communities have formed within the community areas to create distinct neighborhoods. It is this reason the community areas can be considered neighborhoods within itself. — oo64eva (Alex) ( U | T | C) @ 06:07, May 13, 2005

I use this web site all the time, I am an appraiser, communities are not the same as neighborhoods and it is appropriate that these are separate. I agree with the comment above completely April 12, 2007 Diana
Actually you got this backwards... The community areas were created for a larger census defined area to measure population and demographics. Most community areas got their names from the neighborhoods within the areas. The two should remain separate as they are on the chicago GIS maps [1]. -- Nickvet419 ( talk) 06:12, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
I think this page (Neighborhoods of Chicago) gets wrong which neighborhoods should be included in the North Side, Northwest Side and Far North Side. Any areas west of the River, or, farther north, the North Shore Sanitary Canal, should either be West Side or Northwest Side. Chicago Slim ChicagoSlim 17:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC) = ChicagoSlim
Does anyone know the proper way to add City of Chicago Neighborhood maps to the neighborhood templates or to the pages. TonyTheTiger 01:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Community areas should be merged under neighborhoods Thomas Paine1776 23:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
The neighborhoods should be separat articles from the Community areas because they are defined by separate boundaries and have different definitions. They should also have a infobox like Chinatown, Chicago's article. -- Nickvet419 ( talk) 06:14, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Golden Ghetto has been marked as not clearly identifying the importance of the topic since October 2006. It has been flagged for merger to this article since October also.
Is it going to be merged? Is it a notable term ie is there more coverage than a dictionary definition? Or should it be merged / redirected / deleted? Ga rr ie 23:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
It would be better to have a colored version of the Chicago neighborhood map image. Colors grouping the neighborhoods belong according to the regional divisions in this article. KyuuA4 22:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I've worked on the Wikitravel guide to Chicago over the past year and there is now a ton of content about individual neighborhoods on that site, which I think might be useful to link to. In particular, there are street maps, most of which designate the exact street boundaries of the community areas & neighborhoods listed on this page as well as the Community areas of Chicago page (I often drew upon these articles for boundary definitions).
IMO, it would be useful to link the individual community area/neighborhood articles to the appropriate Wikitravel Chicago "district" articles, but I clearly have a conflict of interest preventing me from doing it myself—I am not only a regular contributor and administrator on Wikitravel, I also am an editor of a commercial printed guide based on the free online Wikitravel Chicago guides. I am also rather inexperienced on Wikipedia—do others think that these links would be useful? -- Peter Talk 00:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it would be an excellent idea. After all, one page can't do justice to all of the issues involved in discussing neighborhoods, communities, urban change, etc. I, however, don't have the skills either. Kagillogly ( talk) 20:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)kagillogly

Edgewater Beach, a neighborhood in the Edgewater community area, is absent from the grid. Relgif ( talk) 04:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
This list should probably go or be modified. Reason is because the neighborhoods have different boundaries than the community areas and often fall between multiple community areas.-- Nickvet419 ( talk) 06:18, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
If our project purports to be encyclopedic, why is there nothing like an excellent map that shows all the neighborhoods of Chicago in this article? Come on!! 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 02:38, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
I'm planning on creating a page for Dearborn Park. It's a neighborhood in the Near South Side that is mentioned (a very small mention) on the Near South Side page, but I think it has enough history and interest to warrant its own page; it came out of the 1973 Chicago 21 Plan and there are are many other facts that make it noteworthy. I could just build out a section on Near South Side, similar to what was done with Back of the Yards and Canaryville for New City -- but I think it deserves more attention than that and I'm willing to do the work. I'm a bit unclear on why some neighbordhoods (e.g. Fulton River District) get their own pages and some don't. But, in any case, I'm going to work on this over the next couple of weeks. If anyone objects, let me know so I can save the time. Any and all feedback appreciated. Thanks. IntegrityPen ( talk) 01:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
