I don't know, the area behind her looks pretty dumpy. she looks a teeny bit trashy herself...If you don't know who the redhead is, does it really show Girl Next Door, or just literally a girl who lives next door?
Wholesome is important, so what about this http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3180828928/ch0012634
?
Since a bunch of people seem to like the Spiderman picture, I'd like to remind you of the picture I posted much earlier in the thread, which is a bit similar (but without the dumpy aspect of the background). Only Willbyr has commented on it so far.

"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeTanned, stripperific woman in a tropical setting doesn't really say Girl Next Door to me.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickThe girl Next Door has nothing to do with geography, it is a personality type, so I don't think a fence should be required. How about something like this? http://taylor-swift.celebscentral.net/photo/121091/

I knew I forgot something. I actually was planning to comment on that, but I guess I got sidetracked. The problem I have with that is the wide shot. Most of the screenshot is the distance between the two characters. If they were closer together, it wouldn't be so bad.
Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with associating the Girl Next Door personality trait by showing that she actually lives next door. Showing a literal example of the trope name helps convey the personality that character is suppose to have, IMO. All throughout media, everytime I thought of the GND type, I always always ALWAYS thought of a character who lived literally right next door. It was easier for me to figure out that said character actually did have the personality trait.
Ok, I see what you're saying. What do you think of this? http://img839.imageshack.us/i/smallvilles3e03extincti.jpg/

Even now there are some examples on the page where people confuse the Girl Next Door with the literal female neighbor. Having a picture on the page showing a literal example is maybe not a good idea.
Does anybody now, whether we have a trope for the literal case when the female love interest is a neighbor?
Well, the one I presented earlier doesn't lay out explicitly that she's a neighbor. You see no houses—just an open field, and a fence. It looks like she's at a pasture, honestly. [1]

Let's see what I can get from the B Gata H Kei manga Minamo is a textbook example of this trope. Normal, Kinda Shy but playful, Childhood friend with a major case of Cannot Spit It Out, and a literal Girl Next Door who the Main Character sees only as Just Friends.
EDIT: How is this?

Nominations for replacement images:

Mary-Jane is both literally and figuratively a Girl Next Door. Although, that is a rare case of a GND baring her midriff. Funny caption there, maybe. Kirsten Dunst is hotter than your average GND, imo.
