Why is it masculine?

Vizinhos is masculine because it derives from Latin "vicinus" (masculine), which comes from "vicus" (village/neighborhood), and Portuguese inherited the masculine gender from this Latin root. Gender in Romance languages is largely determined by the Latin etymon, so Latin masculine nouns typically become masculine in Portuguese unless sound changes obscure the original ending.
