SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Whether you're in the market for a new home or a place to explore around town, a new Trulia ranking claims to have you covered.
The neighborhood analysis covering San Diego County utilizes millions of reviews and polls answered on Trulia Neighborhoods' "What Locals Say" website feature.
For this time of year, the five aspects the housing website broke out are especially enticing to families: Friendliest neighbors, friendliest for dogs, friendliest for kids, most walkable, and — of course — most holiday spirit.

"People take great pride in where they live. In fact, many buyers and renters say the neighborhood mattered just as much as the house when they were searching for a home," Tim Correia, senior vice president of Trulia, said in a release.
To win, a neighborhood had to have at least 30 local reviews of and at least a 75 percent positive response. Here are San Diego's local results:
