Some will say that to inanimate things (as "neighborhoods") we should use "of", others will use the apostrophe.
In academical writings preferably is better to use "of"; other than that, it´s getting acceptable to use the form with the apostrophe.
One has to be careful with ambiguity, though: house´s windows would be (in spoken English) would be understood as "houses windows", perhaps that´s why they "favor" the "of" rule to inanimate things.
