What does と and なり mean in this sentence?


The whole sentence is:

> 私 **となりに** 住んでおります綾瀬と申します

It's from the manga yotsubato, that I'm trying to read along with a translated
version. The translated one says "I live right next door. We're the Ayase
residence"

So I couldn't find anything conclusive about this なり word, and I also don't
know about this と, if it's part of the same expression, or a separate
particle, and if it is, I don't know the role it's playing here. Could you
please clarify?




I think you are confused because you are trying to distinguish と and なり while
it is just a single word: となり, or 隣 in kanji, that means "neighbor/next to (as
in living next door)". This should clarify your doubt I hope.
