Homethinking just launched its new city neighborhood comparison application (press release) in which users rate and review the similarities of neighborhoods between different cities. It's a product similar in business mission to Trulia Voices where real estate agents share their knowledge of neighborhoods as a means to gaining online visibility to potential clients.
In addition, it's a great parlor game for urban geography/sociology buffs. I noted that an earlier comparison between NYC's Morningside Heights and SF's Inner Richmond were off:
Never thought I would read SOHO, Pacific Heights and Diamond Heights used in the same sentence as having anything to do with each other.

Great info! My daughter is looking for a house in Los Angeles and she's trying to find a neighborhood that suits her. Will definitely give her the info. Thanks

Awesome! I was just looking for something like this. The city list is a little limited though.... I wish they had some smaller cities/towns on there.
