North Holland is an area in northern Algonquin, Liberty City, bordered to the north by Wardite Street (Northwood), to the east by Exeter Avenue (East Holland), to the south by Topaz Street (Middle Park and Varsity Heights), and to the west by the West River.

Character

North Holland is mainly made up of high-rise projects and ghettos, with a heavy gangster influence. The area is ethically diverse although there is a large African-American and Black population. It is where the North Holland Hustlers originated from.

Influences

North Holland is based upon Harlem, a Manhattan neighbourhood that was known for crime throughout the 20th century, but is currently experiencing gentrification. The choice of name for North Holland is presumably based on the location of Harlem (which Harlem takes its name from), the provincial capital of North Holland, Netherlands.

Transportation

North Holland houses Vauxite subway station on Vauxite Street, the train station is served by the A/J Algonquin Outer Line. Frankfort High and Frankfort Low stations also serve North Holland, located on Frankfort Avenue at the boundary of Northwood and North Holland; the stations are served by the Algonquin Inner Line. The three stations and two lines served in North Holland make the district very well facilitated from a transport standpoint.

Falling glitch

If you go to Vauxite Street in North Holland, there is a red accesible door to the west of the Modo store. If you can get the police to follow you when you have a wanted level, it is possible to accomplish this glitch. So when you have lured them up the stairs, go to the rooftop and head south around the small building and go down the stairs and you will find a plank. Jump over the gap to the other building (Police still following) and find cover behind the brick wall. up your wanted level and the police will attempt to jump over the gap between the two buildings. However every police officer will just fall of the edge of the plank (they dont even jump). This glitch is spotlighted in this video here: [[1]]
