The character of Dukes varies considerably across its neighborhoods. It has the most green space out of all the boroughs in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] which is particularly concentrated around the districts in the north of the borough such as [[Meadows Park]], [[Meadow Hills]], western parts of [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] and northern and western [[Steinway]].
Dukes consists of eight, heavily-populated neighborhoods and has the second-highest population behind [[Algonquin]].


The most urbanized district of the borough is [[East Island City]] which is centred around the [[Dukes Boulevard]] thoroughfare. It contains both modern business land use, such as the [[LC24 Tower]] in addition to declining industrial areas in the neighborhood's southern reaches, where it merges with [[Broker]]. [[Charge Island]] is Dukes' other industrial centred locale. Commercial shopping areas are centred around Camden Avenue in [[Cerveza Heights]], where the majority of shopping outlets are independent ethnic businesses, as well as [[Saratoga Avenue]] in [[Willis]] where there is a [[Big Willis Mall|Shopping Mall]] as well as the presence of chain business outlets.
