agree  Alan Douglas (X): "Vibrant" best fits the bill here. "District" or "area" could substitute for neighbourhood. If referring to a French city "quartier" could (depending on context and readership) be retained.

  -> Thank you. Yes I agree that "neighbourhood" is not necessarily the only solution.
agree  B D Finch: The standard developer's and estate agent's cliché!

bustling neighborhoods


Explanation:
Situated between the BUSTLING NEIGHBORHOODS of Lincoln Park and Lakeview, the upscale yet laid-back gastropub brings in a regular dinner crowd of young professionals

City leaders have been dreaming for years of the day when Glenwood's drab riverfront district is transformed into a BUSTLING NEIGHBORHOOD and regional destination.

http://www.seeapex.com/news_latest.asp

Want to browse unique galleries for original artwork? Looking for hot spot to dine or dance? River North is the place for these activities and much more. It’s also a BUSTLING NEIGHBORHOOD that is the site of many condominium buildings which serve as convenient home bases from which to explore the city.
