It really depends on the situation, when there are hard limits (railway tracks, waterways, motorways, cliffs, forests, ....) the situation will be much clearer in respect to more fluid boundaries, but still having some rough info about the extension is much better than having a single point which doesn't tell you at all if this neighbourhood is 1 or 8 miles in "diameter". When you evaluate this info you could still take care how close to other neighborhoods and how close to the border of the neighbourhood polygon a feature is.
