Taking into account the history of the commune, there is not true downtown area with Neuilly, but of the differentiated districts. One can distinguish for example the district from the place of the market-Sablonville, the district of Trifle-Saint-James, the district of the bridge, the neighborhoods of the street Louis-Philippe, the neighborhoods of the street of the Ushers and the district of the island of the Bowl.

The sector more snuffed is the circumference of the Bois de Boulogne, and in a less measurement those of Saint-James and Park. The sector more sought by its facilities (trade, schools) remains the vicinity of the avenue of Rolls. The island of the Bowl, industrial in the past sector, took these last years of the value in spite of its enclavement and the weakness of its trade.

No pedestrian precinct was still carried out on the commune but of many avenues bordered of broad often planted pavements of trees allow an easy circulation to the pedestrians.

Three ways were arranged in way with 30km/h: the street of the Ushers, a section of the street Madeleine-Michelis and a section of the street of Longchamp. A beginning of recovery of the pavements delivered to the automobile parking in the years 1960-70 was implemented on the avenue of Rolls. Circulation in the bicycle is delicate, even dangerous, downtown taking into account the absence of cycle track.
