I have a layer representing a neighborhood. And the roads are separating groups of features(blocks) from each other. I want an outline around the whole neighborhood and not around each feature or each block. I want a line around the whole layer. I have tried dissolving, masking and merging. None have worked.
How could I do this using ArcGIS Desktop?

If you have an Advanced level license, the Aggregate Polygons tool will do the heavy lifting:
Remaining holes are easy to fix by hand, alternatively apply this field calculator expression on field "Shape" of output:
arcpy.Polygon(!Shape!.getPart(0))
