Do you have a waste cap or clean-out anywhere on the exterior walls? It would be a pipe with a cap somewhere outside perhaps.
If your on city sewer it sounds like you have a clog between your house and the city. You need a long auger snake to clear.
Try snaking from the toilet closest to the alley.

1st of all, please do not snake from a toilet. And 2nd, absolutely DO NOT use an even bigger snake in your toilet. Please.
Normal drain snakes break toilets. The spiral metal chips the edge of the porcelain where the bowl meets the drain, and it cracks. At that point, your toilet is doomed and will break. Seriously - They make special snakes just for toilets, called closet augers, and they are too short to help you with this issue.

We have one near the house and one near the alley, the alley one appears to be clear but the one near the house is clogged

It sounds like you can solve this. You're 15 minutes away from being qualified. Watch this guy, see if this looks like your issue. Watch him fix it. Do what he does.
You got this.
