Best neighborhoods nationall, locally

If you’re a dog, you probably want to live in the Old Fourth Ward.

That's according to the online real estate site, Trulia, which recently announced the winners of the 2018 Neighborly Awards.

Some 10,000 neighborhoods were ranked according to 20 million comments from users of the site.

Other Atlanta neighborhoods that rose to the top of the local Trulia charts:

-Friendliest Neighbors: Kirkwood.

-Most Holiday Spirit: Morningside

-Most Walkable: Poncey-Highland

-Kid-friendliest: Virginia Highland

Ranking were created by responses to questions on the Trulia site, such as “Do you decorate your home for the holidays?” and “Can you walk to restaurants in your neighborhood?”

According to a Trulia press release, “To win, a neighborhood needed to have at least 30 local reviews and at least a 75% positive response.”

No Atlanta neighborhoods rose to national prominence in these listings.

Nationally, according to Trulia, the friendliest neighbors can be found in Trestle Glen, Oakland, Calif., and the most holiday spirit in the Bridesburg area of Philadelphia, where 96 percent of responding participants said they decorate their homes for the holidays.
