25 neighborhoods ranked from live points-of-interest data within a 500-metre walk of each neighborhood centre — not editorial opinion. Ordered by restaurants fit (0–100), which reweights the six Vibe Score components for this lens — so the leader here is often not the highest overall Vibe Score. Updated August 2026.
