I do. Everything has drawbacks, but overall I really liked it. The last place I lived in the Koreatown part of Los Angeles (where oddly everyone but me was Hispanic, not Korean), was an awesome neighborhood. The families that lived around me were all very nice, and the restaraunts are amazing. The downside was that I'm a 6'3" white guy, and I stood out a lot. I drew a lot of stares, and some fronting from the MS13 and 18THST kids (Two of the bigger gangs down here), who called me "The big white guy" because I really was the only one. It settled down once they realized that I'm really not a cop. That's probably a normal part of being a minority, it was just new to me. I did finally move out, but only because I found a cheaper spot 5 blocks from my job, so I don't have to drive an hour every morning now.
What does christianity have to do with anything though?
I guess the real problem with this question is it's generality. Outside of Los Angeles, there's a large portion of the population who's both white and christian (here we're actually a slim minority). It's a general question about a large group of people, so it's really difficult to answer for everybody. Some probably do, some probably don't, many probably don't care. I find that most people respond best when treated as individuals rather than members of a group.

Believe it or not, In some respects, Christians are like everybody else. We prefer good neighbors, and don't generally do a "survey of racial representation" before we consider moving in.
Like anybody else, we look for neighborhood cultural trends and lifestyles when looking for a new home. We look for what kind of cars are parked at the curb, and whether or not there are collections of fossilized appliances in front yards. We also look for evidence of pride in ownership. Interrestingly enough, these are things that have nothing to do with race.
There are bad neighborhoods that are all white, all black, and mixed. Likewise, there are good neighborhoods in all these categories. Race has nothing to do with what makes them good or bad.

I am a white conservative Christian. I don't know what isn't an integrated neighborhood. There are many different people of different colors, beliefs and backgrounds where I live, so what? As long as people aren't b*st*rds, I don't care who they are.

Christians grow wherever God plants them. I lived on the South Side of Chicago for 4 years while I went to college, worked in a steel fabrication shop, and went to school. The only people who have problems with race are non-christians. They may say they're Christian, but the fruits of their lives and their actions will prove that the Holy Spirit is in no way invited into their lives.

White and Christian are not requisites for bigot and intolerant. Those are the ones that want segregated neighborhoods and schools and they come in every color, nationality and religion. Family attitude and education are better determiners of tolerance than race and religion.

Um from what I know people live wherever they want/can afford. I dont think you can look into your neighbor's backgrounds before you go move there. And they still have integrated neighborhoods?

Are there any other kinds of neighborhoods these days?
In this day and age, I doubt there are any neighborhoods that have a "whites only" rule.
