Beechwood City is a neighborhood in southern Dukes, Liberty City. The neighborhood is home to a large Jamaican population. It is bordered by Lynch Street to the northeast (Willis and Meadow Hills), the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway to the northwest (Cerveza Heights), Wenrohronon Avenue to the west (Schottler), the Broker-Dukes Expressway to the south (South Slopes), an unnamed body of water to the southeast, and Saratoga Avenue to the east (Francis International Airport).

Character

The neighborhood contains a mix of land use zones, due largely in part to its geographical location. Urban parts of the city can be found in the western part (near the Broker border), around the Homebrew Café and the Broker-Dukes Expressway, which is a major thoroughfare bordering its east side. The northern part of Beechwood City, through which the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway passes, as well as the eastern part (near the airport) are primarily rural in nature. Finally, the southern part rests along the shoreline and features a rocky beach.

Points of interest

Beechwood City is the setting of the Homebrew Café, which is popular among Rasta locals and is the only place in Liberty City where the player can interactively partake in a game of pool. Beechwood City also houses a Burger Shot outlet and a car wash.

Transportation

The Liberty City Subway does not serve Beechwood City. However, three stations are within close proximity to the neighborhood. Residents in northern Beechwood City may choose to board at either Huntington Street (in Cerveza Heights) or Lynch Street (Meadow Hills/Willis border), while those in the southern and western parts can access the subway at Schottler station (which is really located in South Slopes).
