The neighborhoods and areas of western [[Broker]] (i.e. BOABO, East Hook, and Hove Beach west from Iroquois Avenue) lie | The neighborhoods and areas of western [[Broker]] (i.e. BOABO, East Hook, and Hove Beach west from Iroquois Avenue) lie at sea level along the eastern bank of the [[Humboldt River]] - which happens to be at the foot of a rise in the topography of the land east of the riverbank. For this reason, these areas are physically separated from the rest of the borough. As such, western Broker neighborhoods have developed similar aesthetic values and characteristics with each other that are, at the same time, completely distinct from other neighborhoods in Broker. Each area primarily consists of warehouses, docking facilities, and other such industrial structures. | ||
East Hook appears to be undergoing [[wp:gentrification|gentrification]], with a few of its larger properties being converted for residential and commercial use.
