South Alameda
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
South Alameda covers the streets below West Alameda Avenue, mostly brick ranches from the 1950s and 1960s on eighth to fifth acre lots, with townhomes filling later gaps. Belmar Park closes the north end, 132 acres of grassland and paved trail wrapped around Heritage Lakewood, a 20th century history park holding 15 historic buildings and more than 40,000 artifacts. Bonfils-Stanton Park runs as a linear green along West Kentucky Avenue, and Ray Ross Park marks the east end near Harlan Street. Wadsworth Boulevard and West Alameda Avenue handle most trips, US-6 is five minutes north, and St. Anthony Hospital, a Level I trauma center, is about two and a half miles west on West 2nd Place.
