Shoreside Vale: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:23, 14 June 2008

A view of Shoreside Vale from the hills above Cedar Grove.

Shoreside Vale is the third borough in Liberty City. Shoreside Vale is primarily residential, but also features the Francis International Airport to the south, a light commercial/industrial estate (Pike Creek) on the western edge, and the Cochrane Dam in the northwestern corner. Shoreside is the only part of the city situated on the mainland and is considerably hillier than the other two boroughs, with a mountain range along the northern edge of the borough.

With steep elevation changes, a river dividing the main residential area from the industrial estate and the airport, and roads, bridges and tunnels criss-crossing each other at different elevations, Shoreside Vale is notoriously tricky to navigate. For this reason, Shoreside Vale is a very poor choice for the vehicle missions.

Pike Creek

A business district located in the western section of Shoreside Vale. Pike Creek is home to the offices of several businesses, including Punk Noodles, Turtle Head Fish Co, AMCO, and Liberty Pharamceuticals. Services include the local police station, the hospital, Pay 'n' Spray and 8-Ball's bomb shop. Pike Creek is Yakuza turf in GTA Liberty City Stories, but is occupied by no gangs in GTA III.

Cedar Grove.

Cedar Grove

An upper-class suburban area which takes its name directly from a New Jersey suburb. It is controlled by the Colombian Cartels, and is home to some of the more wealthy residents of Liberty City. It consists of lavish mansions with swimming pools and fast sports cars on the drive-ways. Donald Love's mansion (later taken over by Catalina) also lies within this area.

Wichita Gardens

A low-wealth residential area. Wichitia Gardens contains housing projects. It is controlled by the Nines and the Red Jacks (Southside Hoods).
