Jun 19, 2016 at 18:23 comment added user3169 Not specific to the fact they live nearby. You have to be a bit careful using homie as it is a slang word, and there is a lot of cultural influence in its use. Using it in an inappropriate setting could be problematic.
Jun 19, 2016 at 18:04 comment added Yuri @user3169, Interesting, I tend to call more than that a neighborhood maybe one or two blocks around near yours but still in your walking distance. Anyway, Is there also an informal and casual way to say neighbor? Like homie. For example, you see your neighbor in the street and you say to your friend, "that's my ..."
Jun 19, 2016 at 17:50 comment added user3169 How big is "quite big"? You could say "in my area", "in my part of town", or "in my neighborhood". Can't think of a single word off-hand. neighbor is usually people living within a few houses of you. I would use neighborhood.

Jun 19, 2016 at 16:43 comment added Ben Kovitz Please don't vote to close this as a question that can be answered with a dictionary. Most dictionaries are not clear about subtleties like what this question asks about neighbor, and the question actually asks something that's hard to look up: whether there is a word that matches a specific meaning. (Theoretically a thesaurus can do that, but we all know that seldom works in practice.)
