A rainy afternoon in the industrial district of Portland Island, with the Portland El in the foreground.Portland Island consists of an island at the eastern end of city limits, known as a primarily industrial portion of the city. Much of the island's industrial population is concentrated towards Trenton at the south of the island, and is within a short driving distance to Portland Harbor and Atlantic Quays, which serves as seaports to the island and the city. | A rainy afternoon in the industrial district of Portland Island, with the Portland El in the foreground.Portland Island consists of an island at the eastern end of city limits, known as a primarily industrial portion of the city. Much of the island's industrial population is concentrated towards Trenton at the south of the island, and is within a short driving distance to Portland Harbor and Atlantic Quays, which serves as seaports to the island and the city. Non-industrial properties tend to reside towards the north and west sides of the island. Portland also operates an elevated train service with three stations (Rothwell Station in Hepburn Heights, Kurowksi Station in Chinatown, and Baille Station in Saint Mark's) that runs within the island. | ||
Chinatown, located northwest from the industrial districts, consists of Chinese-owned properties, some of which are believed to be controlled by the local Triads. The Saint Mark's district is located on a steep terrain north from Portland Harbor, and is currently controlled by at least two Mafia families: the Leones and the Forellis. | Chinatown, located northwest from the industrial districts, consists of Chinese-owned properties, some of which are believed to be controlled by the local Triads.

Based on industrial and mainly residential areas of New York City, Portland mostly resembles the areas of Queens, Brooklyn, and The Bronx that are located directly east outside of Manhattan. The "Portland Beach" area was created to look like the beachy areas in and around New York: Coney Island in Brooklyn and Fire Island, which are near the shores of Staten Island and Long Island, respectively.[verification needed] "Chinatown", obviously enough, takes its inspiration from the Manhattan neighborhood of the same name, the "Saint Marks" district shares similarities with Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, while "Trenton" takes its inspiration from New Jersey's capital city: it represents Trenton as well as any of New Jersey's several other industrial urban cities, such as Newark or Paterson. The "Red Light District" resembles Manhattan's 42nd Street of the 1980s | Based on industrial and mainly residential areas of New York City, Portland mostly resembles the areas of Queens, Brooklyn, and The Bronx that are located directly east outside of Manhattan.
