I would say that is much like estate names, ranch names, and the like. I
would put that information in the Detail field. You can do a lot with this
since there are up to nine possible Detail sub-fields (Detail1, Detail2,
... Detail9). You can then adjust Tag Sentences as needed to print this
in whatever way you wish. In this way if you add an Address tag and
include the street address, then the neighborhood would fall into the
normal order -- Address, Detail (neighborhood), City, County, State....
