As of the timeline of GTA III, in 2001, Hepburn Heights is primarily a set of two housing projects containing several apartment towers (two four-pointed towers on the western block, and two four-pointed towers and a five-pointed tower on the eastern block). The district also encompasses a lush ridge to the east, and a waterfront promenade to the west that overlooks [[Staunton Island]]. In GTA Liberty City Stories, set in 1998, the five-pointed tower is under construction, but the district remains largely unchanged otherwise. | As of the timeline of GTA III, in 2001, Hepburn Heights is primarily a set of two housing projects containing several apartment towers (two four-pointed towers on the western block, and two four-pointed towers and a five-pointed tower on the eastern block).

It is implied that in GTA Liberty City Stories that the [[Leone Family]] once controlled Hepburn Heights with an iron fist, but due to the [[Sindacco Family]] wanting to expand their influence in the city, the Leone Family began losing to the Sindacco Family. At the beginning of [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Hepburn Heights]] appears to be populated by both the [[Sindaccos]] and the [[Diablos]] as both gangs spawn in the area. | ||
Once the Sindaccos were kicked off the island, the [[Diablos]] street gang, backed by the [[Sicilian Mafia]], began an [[Sindacco Sabotage|outright onslaught]] which was defeated by Leone [[Caporegime]] [[Toni Cipriani]], but he did not believe that the Leone Family would be able to hold on to this part of town for very much longer. By [[2001]], the setting of GTA III, Toni was proven to be right, as the Diablos had taken over Hepburn Heights. | Once the Sindaccos were kicked off the island, the [[Diablos]] street gang, backed by the [[Sicilian Mafia]], began an [[Sindacco Sabotage|outright onslaught]] which was defeated by Leone [[Caporegime]] [[Toni Cipriani]], but he did not believe that the Leone Family would be able to hold on to this part of town for very much longer.
