There are at least two other distinct sets of the Families: the '''Temple Drive Families''' and the '''Seville Boulevard Families''', both of which were originally one with the Grove Street Families, but split up from the GSF during the five years of Carl's absence.

The rivalry between the sets mainly has to do with Grove Street's opposition to drug dealing, but later in the game, the Families are united into one gang. Grove Street member Carl Johnson is involved in a brief conflict with the Seville Boulevard Families, who try to pin Sweet while he was visiting his girlfriend in Seville. Following this incident, Carl and Sweet Johnson call for an end to "green on green" conflicts. | The rivalry between the sets mainly has to do with Grove Street's opposition to drug dealing, but later in the game, the Families are united into one gang.
