When your neighbor's house situated in exactly the opposite side of the road and your house is "in front of " your neighbor's house, it would be 向かい側(side) which is similar with " face to face " as 向かいあう or it's like a situated in symmetry.
Across also has a meaning of 向こう、but it's more like 横ぎる and 渡る. Opposite site or side would be more like 反対 for me.
向こう is the useful word for generalizing all these 反対側 ,あそこ, あっち etc.
I hope it could help.
