Why is it masculine?

Voisinages is masculine because it derives from the Latin "vicīnāticum" (neuter), which passed through Old French "voisinage" and retained the masculine gender assignment that French applied to nouns ending in "-age" during the evolution from Latin. The "-age" suffix itself became a productive masculine ending in French, influencing the gender of many inherited words like "village," "courage," and "passage."
