Schottler

Schottler is a neighborhood in central Broker, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is bordered to the northeast and to the north by the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway (Cerveza Heights); to the west by Montauk Avenue (Downtown); to the south by Earp Street (South Slopes); and to the east by Wenrohronon Avenue (Beechwood City).

Description
Schottler is a low-income, working-class urbanized residential area, made up mostly of apartment blocks with a few stores, brownstones, with some run-down buildings. It is notable for it's above average crime rate and demographically consists of a mostly African-American community with a smaller Orthodox Jewish and Latino presences along with a large proportion of Jamaican immigrants, presumably due to Schottler's proximity to largely Jamaican Beechwood City. Schottler is one of the more busy and populated "ghettos" in Broker. Often, the Yardies street gang make a presence here, especially at night (although their main territory is the nearby Beechwood City).

Culturually, Schottler is quite diverse. It is influenced by both hip-hop culture as well as Jamaican culture.

Gang Control
Schottler is a stronghold for the Yardies gang. They can be seen all around the neighborhood, and in its nearby neighborhood Beechwood City as well. The Yardies use the neighborhood as their territory because of the large Afro-caribbean influence in the area. Due to Niko being close friends with Little Jacob, the Yardies welcome him to their turf. If Niko is engaged in a fight, or is attacked by a Pedestrian, they will defend him by all means. This will only happen after Shadow, before that mission, Jamaicans will be hostille if you attack them. They may use knives, pistols, Pump Shotguns or Micro SMGs to attack the player.

Transportation
Schottler is served by one of two Liberty City Subway stations in Broker. The station is located at the intersection of Sundance Street and Seneca Avenue in neighboring South Slopes.
