Alanton

Big trees, generous yards and two bays give Alanton its enduring appeal. Set between Broad Bay and Linkhorn Bay, the neighborhood offers established homes with room for gardens, backyard gatherings and outdoor living. The civic league describes many lots of an acre or more—a distinctive feature in a coastal city where land close to the water is often at a premium.

Larger lots and mature landscaping are central to the neighborhood’s identity, while Woodhouse Road connects residents to Mill Dam Road, the Great Neck corridor and Hilltop. The Alanton-Baycliff pool and Bolts swim community add a familiar summer gathering place.
