'''Hove Beach''' is a neighborhood in southern [[Broker]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]].  It is bordered to the northeast by the [[Algonquin-Dukes Expressway]] ([[South Slopes]]); to the north by Gibson Street ([[Outlook]]); to the northwest by Cisco Street and Delaware Avenue ([[East Hook]]); to the west by the [[Humboldt River]]; to the south by Crockett Avenue ([[Firefly Island]]); and to the east by Onondaga Avenue ([[Firefly Projects]]).  It is the biggest neighborhood in Broker and has a very large population of Eastern European immigrants. 

 

[[Niko Bellic]]'s first home and safehouse is in his cousin [[Roman Bellic|Roman]]'s [[Broker Safehouse|apartment]] in Hove Beach.

Hove Beach is based off of Brooklyn's [[wp:Brighton Beach|Brighton Beach]] neighborhood, known for its Eastern European population. This is in reference to [[wp:Hove|Hove]], England's proximity to, and relationship with, neighboring [[wp:Brighton|Brighton]]. The two, having city status, are officially known as [[wp:Brighton and Hove|Brighton and Hove]].

During the first leg of GTA IV, Niko's aforementioned cousin, [[Roman Bellic]] operates a [[Express Car Service|Taxi Depot]] at Cisco Street and Iroquois Street, which would later be destroyed during "[[Roman's Sorrow]]". Aside Roman, [[Vladimir Glebov]] owned a bar in the neighborhood. [[Mikhail Faustin]] and his partner, [[Dimitri Rascalov]] could of controlled a large part of Hove Beach, as Dimitri takes Niko to threaten a shop owner for not cutting them in on the profits of the pornography he is making.

In addition to containing the first [[Broker Safehouse|savehouse]] in the game, Hove Beach contains other places of interest. The [[Perestroika]] cabaret club is located in the northern end of the neighborhood, on Tulsa Street. [[Mohawk Ave]], one of the neighborhood's main drags, is home to a Russian-owned clothing store at its intersection with Bart Street. Also on Mohawk Avenue are the neighborhood's police precinct (at Oakley Street), Vladimir Glebov's [[Comrades Bar]] at Mohawk Avenue (across the road from the safehouse), and [[The 69th Street Diner]] also at the Bart Street intersection.

The [[Liberty City Subway]] serves the neighborhood. The [[Hove Beach LTA|eponymous station]] is located at the intersection of Wappinger Avenue and Crockett Avenue. The [[3/8 Broker Line]] serves the station, providing service to [[Francis International Airport]] and [[Algonquin]].
