You should be able to spot the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye, it's mag 4 or so. Binoculars reveal a bit more detail, even from suburbia. I can't say much about galaxies via a scope, since I really haven't spotted any with my 4" refractor yet, despite trying. I presume not enough aperture and light pollution don't help my cause!
