Local place names
Lebanon areas and nearby towns
The City’s 2012 Master Plan describes planning and development areas, not formal neighborhood boundaries, present-day zoning determinations, or classifications for a particular address. The names below are useful for orientation; use the property address for a sale, tax, or permit question.
The City’s two traditional centers
Lebanon and West Lebanon
The City’s 2012 Master Plan describes Lebanon and West Lebanon as its two traditional centers. That is a planning description, not a formal neighborhood boundary or an address-level classification.
For your sale: Use the property’s street address for a tax, permit, or sale question; a center name does not identify a particular parcel.

Named area between the two centers
Route 4 “Miracle Mile”
The Master Plan uses “Miracle Mile” for the Route 4 stretch between Lebanon and West Lebanon.
For your sale: The name can help orient a conversation, but the full address is what to use for a question about one house.

City planning area
Route 12A south of West Lebanon
The City’s plan describes development along Route 12A south of West Lebanon as one of Lebanon’s broader local areas.
For your sale: A planning-area description does not determine a property’s zoning, value, or condition. Share the address when you ask about a particular home.
