A neighborhood shopping center (Commonwealth English: neighbourhood shopping centre) is an industry term in the United States for a shopping center with 30,000 to 125,000 square feet (2,800 to 11,600 m 2) of gross leasable area, typically anchored by a supermarket and/or large drugstore.

Shopping centres are generally of neighbourhood, community, or regional scope. The smallest type, the neighbourhood centre, usually has a supermarket as a focus, with daily convenience shops such as a drugstore, shoe repair, laundry, and dry cleaner accompanying it.

The most common type of shopping center is the appropriately named neighborhood center. These properties use the outdoor straight line strip configuration, typically feature 1 anchor store, and generally range from 30,000 to 150,000 square feet. Their name is derived from their small “neighborhood” centric primary trade area of 3 miles.
