A throught e are about the same. C is different it says that they live in the neighborhood rather than close to it. Area is slightly different than neighborhood, neighborhood is a community usually consisting of a couple of blocks that are either owned by the same company or are part of a community. An area on the other hand implies a larger space, usually a few neighborhoods or the area surrounding a paticular neighborhood. Think google maps, if you zoom in on a block or 2 you have a neighborhood. Zoom out a couple times and that is the area near that neighborhood.

Thanks for the help, OoTmaster. Now I can see the meaning of "neighborhood".
