Alfa Beach, a captivating neighborhood in New Orange City, is strategically situated directly north of Irvington, west of Brahmin Beach, and along the waterfront facing Parkview Island to the north. The neighborhood came into existence in the early 1950s, rising from the ruins of the old Isfahan neighborhood. Notable for its recreational beaches, Alfa Beach draws regional tourists and is bisected by the elevated Orangetown Expressway, creating a distinctive divide between the affluent northern side and the working-class southern side, known locally as "Beta Beach." Alfa Beach is conveniently serviced by the Hyperloop rail line and uniquely lacks subterranean developments or tunnels to Lusus, setting it apart from other New Orange City neighborhoods.

History

In 1833, Jay R. Monroe was granted a parcel of land along the southern shore of Homestar Bay by the Oranjestad government. The first permanent settlers arrived in the 1850s, leading to the incorporation of Alfa Beach as a village, initially called Isfahan, in 1869. The neighborhood was subsequently annexed by Oranjestad in 1902. The Orangetown Highway was constructed through the area in 1915, initiating a period of foreign shipments until the mid-1930s. Following an economic downturn, Isfahan underwent demolition in 1946 to pave the way for revitalization. The reconstruction in the 1950s and 1960s transformed it into the vibrant Alfa Beach, featuring new businesses.

There were two buildings from keikei’s Silex Civis and one from Mattropolis. These have all been deleted and are being replaced with all original buildings created by nebbers.
