Question about Babylon Gardens

I've been wondering this for a while now, what kind of area is Babylon Gardens, exactly? Is Babylon Gardens just the name for the community consisting of the Milton manor and all of the pets' houses? Or is it the name of the town/city that also includes the vet, market, zoo, etc. And if Babylon Gardens is just a small suburb, what's the name of the town/city that they live in?

I mean, in the "A Holiday at the Zoo" arc, Miles just called the zoo "the local zoo," and in a later strip in that same arc, Keene ordered the Helicopter pilot to get as close as he could to the "River Ridge Zoo," and as far as my knowledge serves me, zoos do tend to name themselves their hometown's name plus Zoo. So is the main town/city/whatever named "River Ridge" with the community where all the Housepets! pets live being "Babylon Gardens?"
I'm sure I'm the only one who cares about this, but I'm a stickler for details when it comes to writing... ^^;

Oh, and thanks, Sleet, for the reply to my previous question. X3

Babylon Gardens is the name of the neighborhood built on the Milton property. The city, with the zoo and other stuff, is different. I think it had a name, too, but I can't remember it.

Yeah, I believe it is now canon that the town name is River Ridge...

It was the name of the Zoo or a Park IIRC. It was like River Ridge Zoo or Park or something like that or maybe I'm thinking of something else.
