Editing a Neighborhood
To edit a neighborhood simply click anywhere on the neighborhood you'd like to edit on the Neighborhood List. Edit the neighborhood as needed.
The Page URL for a neighborhood can be updated. When renaming, a page will show asking you if you'd like to create a redirect. If it is an older, established page, we recommend accepting the redirect. This way visitors that have the old address (either through a search engine, or a direct link) can still find the page.
