'''Wichita Gardens''' is characterized by the housing projects for [[Liberty City]]'s low-paid population stratum. It is controlled by the [[Nines]] and the [[Red Jacks]] ([[Southside Hoods]]). Several bloody gang wars take place in this location throughout GTA III & Claude Speed ends up fighting most of them after his orders are recieved through an outside line.

'''Wichita Gardens''' is a working-class district in the lower parts of [[Shoreside Vale]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. It is the most gang-infested area in Shoreside Vale and houses two african-american street gangs, the Red Jacks and the Purple Nines, commonly referred together as the [[Southside Hoods]].


== Description ==
[[File:WichitaGardens-GTALCS-map.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Wichita Gardens' location.]]
Located on the northeastern end of Shoreside Vale's explorable area, Wichita Gardens is a low-lying area that directly borders [[Cedar Grove]], which is perched on top of a massive cliffside facing the whole of Wichita Gardens.


The area is predominantly occupied by housing projects, but also includes an access to the [[Porter Tunnel]], as well as the Staunton View Picnic Area, a seaside park offering vistas of northern Staunton and Portland; Claude's [[Wichita Gardens Safehouse|safehouse]] in GTA III is located also in one of the apartment blocks. Radio stations [[MSX FM]] and [[Game Radio]] are also stated in game materials to be based in the district in GTA III. Wichita Gardens is based on the apartments of [[wp:Co-op City, Bronx|Co-op City, Bronx ]].

During the events of GTA III, in [[2001]], the [[Southside Hoods]] is split into two sub-gangs; the Purple Nines and the Red Jacks. The Purple Nines help in spreading [[SPANK]] to the streets, but with the help of [[Claude]], the Red Jacks manage to [[Rumble|wipe out]] the Nines after a gang war.
 
In GTA Liberty City Stories, set in [[1998]], the district is run by the [[Forelli Family]], however, with the [[Rough Justice|help]] of [[Toni Cipriani]], the Southside Hoods (then consisting of united Purple Nines and Red Jacks members) take over the district. [[Yakuza]] members may be spotted around Wichita Gardens, however there are no known reasons as to why. It can be assumed that either it's just a spawning glitch or the [[Southside Hoods]] and the [[Yakuza]] are either allied with each other or simply coexist in the area.
