Inwood, New York, in Upper Manhattan would certainly count as a middle class neighborhood. With a mixture of working class people, artists and families--surrounded by leafy parks--this enclave is one of the most overlooked "nice" areas of Manhattan.

There are many other lower middle class neighborhoods and houses in Manhattan as well. The Lower East Side is one, certain parts of Greenwich Village such as two low-income co-ops run by the Catholic Church on 6th Avenue. Mulberry Street in the Little Italy area still has the Italians living on it. Also, certain sections of East Harlem are not ghetto-ized. Even though Manhattan is getting gentrified the most out of all the boroughs, there are still plenty of regular working people living here.

Answer

Middle-class people live everywhere in Manhattan. The neighborhoods aren't strictly organized according to class. For example, the Upper East Side is the wealthiest, ritziest neighborhood in the whole city. All the city's wealthiest and most powerful people live there. But not everyone who lives there is rich. Plenty of Upper East Siders are just regular middle class. Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, and Park Avenue are pretty much entirely for the super-wealthy, but the rest of the Upper East Side is not.

Chelsea and the West Village are two more perfect examples. Both Chelsea and the West Village have recently become very gentrified (lots of celebrities live in the West Village in particular), but there are still plenty of working class and regular middle class people there, too.

The Upper West Side is like that too. There are housing projects for the city's poorest located right across the street, or just down the block, from luxury condos that cost a million dollars.

The Lower East Side, Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, Morningside Heights, Harlem, and Tribeca are more examples of neighborhoods where working class and middle class people live side-by-side.

In sum, there really is no such thing as an entirely middle class neighborhood in Manhattan. Nor is there really any such thing as an entirely poor neighborhood in Manhattan, or an entirely rich neighborhood in Manhattan.

Answer

Keep in mind that while middle class people do live in most every neighborhood in Manhattan, the vast majority of them are renting the apartments they live in. If the requirement for a neighborhood to be middle class is the ownership of the home they live in, then the short answer is: No. There are no neighborhoods in Manhattan where a two bedroom apartment costs less then $400,000.

Money. The middle class does not exist in Mexico. It's just upper and lower. The lower class has no choice but to work at the polluting plants. They have no power to change things. The upper class has the power of mobility. They can go anywhere they want. The Middle class in the USA is the only hope for the future.

Do any working class neighborhoods exist in San Diego?

If, by 'working class neighborhood', you mean that housing prices would be affordable to a household that earns the median income (between $30K and $40K), then the answer is "no", as it is in many counties throughout California. However, if by 'working class neighborhood', you mean communities in which blue collar workers reside or families supported by workers without formal educations, then the answer is "yes."

Which New York City borough does not have a Main Street?

Most people THINK that the answer in Manhattan - but that is incorrect. There is an island in the middle of the East River, known as Roosevelt Island. A few thousand people live there. They commute to the rest of New York City by subway and by a special aerial tram. Roosevelt Island is actually part of the borough of Manhattan - and it has a Main Street! So the correct answer is - all five boroughs of New York City have a Main Street.
