Rotterdam Hill is a small, trendy upscale neighborhood located in central Broker, Liberty City. It is bordered to the north and to the west by Brunner Street (BOABO); to the southwest by Mohanet Avenue and to the south by Chive Street (East Hook); and to the east by Mohawk Avenue and Oneida Avenue (Downtown and Outlook, respectively).
Character
Rotterdam Hill gives off a very quaint vibe with elements of trendiness. Its (few) streets are lined with well-maintained brownstones and are very quiet, compared to the busy roads just a few blocks to the east in Downtown.
People of interest
Michelle, Niko Bellic's first girlfriend in Liberty City, resides in the neighborhood along
Places of interest
A fire department is located north of the junction of Onion Street, Mohawk Avenue, and Munsee Avenue, at the neighborhood's border with Downtown.
Influence
Rotterdam Hill appears to be mainly derived from Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood in size (Clinton Hill is also a relatively small neighborhood), name (both reference a topographic peak), and character (trendy neighborhoods, many brownstones). However, it also may have been influenced by Brooklyn Heights as well, specifically with a promenade located along the northwest corner of the neighborhood (above the Brunner Street Tunnel), offering great, unobstructed views of the Algonquin skyline to the west.
