I don't know about other universities, but my college has been careful to involve the community in the plans of expansion, and hold community sessions. We have worked hard to create a relationship where students know better than to mess with private property (which is downright wrong) and the residents have been understanding when the music is too loud.
The thing is that neighborhood change, and there is a large risk to living on the edge of a campus, but I don't think that the risk should mean people stop respecting the quality of life in the surrounding neighborhood. There are definate advantages to having high quality neighborhood surrounding a college.
