chicago has the enclaved burbs of Norridge and Harwood Heights fully inside of city limits on the far northwest side of the city, but they are way further out and >90% post-war in terms of build-out, so not at all the same thing as hamtramck and HP.

Perhaps West Hollywood / Beverly Hills (although apparently West Hollywood was unincorporated until relatively recently?).
Also Mt. Oliver in Pittsburgh.
Columbus has a few enclaves but I have no idea when they're from (maybe they were annexed around recently...).
